some changes in the enforcement of the internet use policy in the Tulsa office and the reporting of whatever it is they're reporting here will be keeping me from doing much posting during the day for a while. because i do little posting in the evenings, posts will be infrequent until someone around here can answer my questions about what is an acceptable use and duration of use of internet time.

they're making individual determinations about what sites we're allowed to visit: so far, CNN is ok. Ebay is ok. Metafilter is not. Toys 'R' Us is ok. Gamespot is not ok (which is moot, because the Cybersense thing blocks it anyway). TVGuide Online, of course, is ok, and so is Gist TV. then there's the general, unspecified "research is ok" but they didn't tell us which (or whether) search engines are ok. we were also told that websites that have anything 'adult related' in the title bar are not ok. this means my own website is off limits right now.

in other news, i'm sleepy.
