I'd get caught pretty quick. We're not exactly using a version of office that begins with a '2'.

I talk to management, open web browsers, read e-mails, tend to tickets, ignore twitter, start Pandora, get a snack, clone a server, adjust file server quotas, read scripts out loud, test gameplay, stream media, deploy content...like a boss.

how bout getting yourself a smartphone and tether up a personal laptop? That way you're completely "off the grid". Keep your personal surfing personal folks... who knows when it'll come back and bite you in the ass at work.

@knyghtryda: Uhm, when you manage the firewall and the internet connection at the office you have your own ways around such things.

@knyghtryda: You mean until they point out that you bringing in your personal laptop is a potential breach of security and ask you to leave it at home?

You'd be better off just getting yourself a smartphone and leave the laptop at home. Of course, nobody would ever notice you texting non-stop right?

@knyghtryda: Yeah, explain when there is a data breach/customer data stolen, that you bringing in your laptop had nothing to do with it, even if you didn't.

I get around this by maintaining the network and computers at my job. People tend to cut you slack if your absence means 10x more work.

@AutoTuneShouldBeACrime_GitEmSteveDave: Funny how that works eh?

I'm currently listening to MC Lars, reading Radius documentation, tweaking a firewall, reading Giz, posting to giz, tweaking Apache configs, tweaking MySQL configs, writing documentation, comparing cruises for vacation, and generally running flat out 100 mph with my hair and pants on fire.

And they're OK with me doing that as long as the printer and internet doesn't break.

@Lite: .... Like a BOSS!: Why is my mouse moving without me touching it?

Do you know what VNC is?

No.

OK, I'll get right on that as soon as I can.

Doesn't help with the larger problem of your work clocking access to twitter.

Oh well, so long as Gizmodo isn't blocked.
