We'll miss you ;D

But there should be some router hardware between you and the internet. Have them set up an ACL to block that websites IP(or group thereof) and continue to allow all other traffic that is currently accepted.

[EDIT]also[/EDIT], perhaps they can put a decommissioned machine between you and the internet that filters out this traffic. There are specific linux distros that are built just to be firewalls.

You can set the whole thing up and have them change the root pw and throw away the key =)

lylemwood and fbobraga,
Thanks to both of you for the suggestions !

Thanks for the suggestion, though I could have installed virtual system on my computer but as you said that would not be very useful. And since I am in office I do not have enough rights to ask for another system for such purposes ! Thanks for the nice links too.

Thanks,

I asked them about the router settings, to which they replied that they cannot do it, perhaps they were trying to avoid me !!! I am not technically sound in terms of networking so I cannot convince them how that should be done !

If I could get some manual on how to do that, then perhaps they will not find any excuse to be lazy !

You could always get a router and filter it yourself. We do that often on the PCARD where I work. I'm a lab tech at a university and the uni IT staff is sluggish for certain things so that's usually the best solution.

Yes I also found it very strange that they had not renewed the license!

And I had an intuition someone would guess it right !
Ofcourse I am talking of blocking LQ !!!!
How did you guess it by the way ? Through my blog or through my other thread in LQS&F forum ? :)

*Ahem* I hope this is not a sarcastic comment, Mr. Moderator ;) *Ahem*

Could you tell us which site it is that you're *HIGHLY ADDICTED* to? ;) :)

Thanks to you :hattip:

Well, your words worked as a pep talk for me !
I restrained myself and didn't lurk/post on that site for 6 hours. That's an achievement for me :) But this can't go long ... I need to block that site from the router itself.

As if you don't know !!! Trying to embrass me further now ?

Yeah, that's what I'm *HIGHLY ADDICTED* to: embarrassing young women. :D

brianL,

You should not give your LQ password to brainL, he is desperately trying to malign you in post 25 !

Hi,
It was meant as a joke actually.......

I just Looked at the LQ Stats (haven't been there in ages) and I do see you are one of the top posters, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but might become a problem if your work suffers as a direct result. Show some restraint while at work (use the force anishakaul, use the force!) ;)

It really is LQ. :)

Please remove that link Briany, I don't want any further embarrassments now !!

OK? :)
