Those who are surfing at work might want to check out Ghostzilla (http://www.ghostzilla.com/) "the invisible browser" which sits inside other applications and can be hidden by just moving the mouse :)

I wish we used outlook at work :(

No, you can hide it in most Windows apps.

Sounsd interesting, however, most network admins use a proxy server and still monitor what goes on ;-)

Yeah, but unless you work for a big, tightfisted company, they really don't have the time or the money to go through the logs with any degree of regualrity or system. It's quite expensive and labour-intensive.

I've only ever worked for one that monitors employees web and email use, and they, unsurprisingly, were Scottish.

Im not too fussed about remote watching to be honest. I just dont like people thinking its all i do all day, which I dont.

well, I must be an exception then, coz I regularly spend time checking logs and stuff, and making sure there are no real breaches... one man band stuff... but I gave that up two years ago... however, with the new job, that is probably coming back again :)

hmm, this ghostzilla thing's kinda cool.

I think I'll keep using it for a while...

You know, despite what they say about keeping things hidden... nothing is ever totally hidden if we want to find it... mwahahaha.

True netniV.

For me it's a case of balance. I try to keep my pleasure surfing separate from my work surfing, so I use a separate browser: up to now Opera.
I'm not bothered by the network police finding out where I've been, because I am the network police, and I try to steer clear of dodgy looking domain names.
It's nice for me not to have to worry about someone looking over my shoulder and seeing NSFW post when I need it without having to close by browser down when someone walks in the room.

Boring, boring job. Poring through columns of figures looking for 'teen' or 'chat'. And everyone hates you when they find out what you do.

The //imp.html and //zoey.html liunks on your website are broken, btw. 404s.

hmm.. I'll take a peek.. it was a rush job over two weeks ago... and Al might have mentioned it... oops... yaeh... must get around to that.

My ex used to spend his life doing that. But the people where he worked were blatant and used to just 'try' domain names to see if he had blocked them. It was pointless.

I know,

How can they tell if it is you who is on the net?

With a combination of security devices, etc. it's possible to track it down to the person... and if they have given away their security details, then it's still that persons fault, since they shouldn't have done so.
