in soviet russia, internet watches YOU,
May. 7th, 2010 02:50 pmWell. Big Brother has finally caught up with LJ at work and is only allowing me access in 6 ten-minute "quota" installments. Of course, I can go computer to computer if I want, and we've got, hmm. *counts* Seven desktops and two notebooks, along with being able to use a generic log-in page that may or may not add things up collectively among them. But I figure that I can read dreamwidth instead at work and save LJ for stuff at home.
It's getting worse for computer stuff at work (which I only use while on break and during slow times when there is literally nothing else to do). First my streaming radio was gone (I did use that during work, but it's not like it was distracting--in fact, it helped me focus). Then the podcasts went away, then Facebook. I didn't really care about Facebook because I figured hey, I had LJ and they couldn't possibly find such a relatively obscure blog. Only now they've found it and stuck this new quota thing on it. I figure it's only a matter of time before they find DW. But, until that happens, I'll read/post here, as much of it is crossposted anyway. Grr. Big Brother.
In other news, I've made my reservations for Ottawa! So far I'll be there from 29 June to 6 July. Dudes. Canada day IN CANADA. And the Queen will be there! *throws red-and-white confetti*
