Man this is boring.
I'm at the hospital because my youngest needed to visit for maybe a day, he should be ok.

Anyways, this crappy firewall is blocking obvious stuff like ebay, Newegg, etc. But it's blocking my ubcd4win.com domain because it's a "shopping" site?? Man, if I gotta troll around here......tonight will really suck. At least hockey is on!!

and

Maybe that is what they are keying off of.


I hope your son is ok. Hospitals aren't the funnest places for kids.

Yeah, he just woke up again and he's not happy. It's a little silly but he had "only" stepped on a nail. At least the wife was on top of things and took him into the doctor today and she wanted him on IV antibiotics. So I sleep in a chair tonight and I'll probably be grumpy at work, oh well. Gotta try to make him comfortable for the one night stay (hopefully).

Hope your kid is ok, while waiting, you could try one or all of these apps out...

I wish I would have taken the time this morning to get a screen shot of the message, it was pretty stupid. At the top it tells you that the sites are being blocked because they are "shopping" sites, but then at the bottom it complains about possible spyware on your system?? Something about a WebSearch item? Evidently it's really complaining about ads on the site and some of them seem to be from semi-rouge Web Search?

Oh well, I'm at work now so I can get crazy on the Internet again!! Hopefully they release him this afternoon, I really do not feel like sleeping on that uncomfortable fold out chair. I think tonight I would just jump into bed with him!! Kinda sucked too cause I missed the Penguins first goal cause I was out smoking quick and then I could yell "SCORE" really loud for their second. Oh well, at least I'll be at home or in a cabin for game 7 Friday. I'll be able to yell as much as I want!!
