Is it 5 o'clock yet?
May. 20th, 2005 12:55 pmInsanity reigns deep in the heartlands.
We've had a new Internet browser installed at work which is supposed to be faster and more reliable. Lovely. It also apparently had a firewall type thing that stops you going into any dodgy site.
Earlier I was trying to get into the Kent & Sussex area page on our intranet site to update something, and it wouldn't let me in. Whenever I clicked on the link it told me that that page I was trying to access was prohibited.
My colleague was searching for sandwich suppliers in Sussex on google the other day and was having the same problem. He seemed to think it was because the firewall didn't like the word Sussex. Specifically the last three letters of the word.
How hilarious is that? I'm tempted to go home now because the day can't get any better.
I wonder if Middlesex and Essex are having the same problem.
It's been sorted out now and I've updated the page, but the funny thing is if I was searching for Wet and Wild or something I probably wouldn't have had any problems.
( so I got up early this morning to have time to watch Lost before I came to work. Stop looking at me like that! :) )
Friday haiku –
Almost the weekend,
Slow mornings leading free hours.
The clock moves too slow!
I could really do with a pic spam right about now *prods live journal*
