but you can't run anything from a pendrive because it always needs to have some drivers in the system! are you working for FBI or something?
runnning software on a pendrive would work on a Mac but that's not helping you i guess..

Grab a USB modem and connect your PC to your phoneline at your desk and use dial-up ;)

Dial wha... haha.
Back at work on the night shift. Still need a solution.
Something written in VB maynot need drivers and would work from a pendrive... Hmmm

www.miranda-im.org is BLOCKED damn it, see what I mean I can't do anything.
I work for a railway company in the UK.
I cant download EXE ZIP or MP3, and WebSence(less) blocks anything remotely interesting. I'm sure soon NT will be blocked cause its pretty much the only decent site I can still visit.

I work at boeing and I get the same thing, except web messenger seems to work most of them. Except now, it just disconnected >:(

a lot of design firms are like that too these days.
One place i know of checks the logs on all the printers and youre SCREWED if you ever print even one price of personal work. they use AIM for communication round the office internally but they check logs of everything. so, you must be careful what you say and to who.
they also check email, and have hidden cameras all over the office. so, dont get any ideas sending sexxxy letters to your girlfriend or sneakin in to knock the boots at your desk after hours. you'll be SOOO busted.
luckily, i dont work there. buncha friends do tho. sucky. it's got to be weird knowing youre being watched so closely. seems as though it would cause more stress and lack of trust and loyality for the company than it would do good.

wtf is the world comin to? cant knock boots in the office afterhours?! on the bosses desk?! lol
- shellie0
haha. well my issue would be not being able to crack open a beer after upper management goes home. BOO HISS!
but c'mon. safe boot knocking is definately a plus if the office is tight. right? RIGHT??
