"Hackers of the World UNITE!!!!!"
by OK, here's the deal. It has been brought to my attention that katie and I are on the eZabel chat too much and hogging it. Well... in order to change that.. i have to get aim on my computer at work. Well... easy... piece of cake..... ahhh.... not so
Problem 1. I cant install any programs on my workstation without my nazi admin finding out.
Problem 2. The admin also checks what sites i am going to and can see when i connect to the aim express servers.
Problem 3. He has seemed to block most of the proxy servers i can try to connect to.
Problem 4. Yes, ian, i tried multiproxy. The admin actually blocked multiproxy.com as well as anything using the words "multiproxy""proxy""proxy server" ect ect ect...
Solutions?
Well, the only thing i can think of is use Netscape's version of aim and connect through a proxy server on netscape, buuuuut, like before mentioned, i dont know what servers to connect to.
Thats why i am reaching out to my eZablers for a solution that will be mutually beneficial for both katie and I AND the rest of you.... I'm waiting for deanh77, iwz and magnum for answers.. but if anyone else has any suggestions...
Well thanks you guys... I think im probably gonna go with deanh77's suggestion and just leave well alone, i dont wanna piss my boss off and get fired, i already break enough rules as it is... Thanks for all your other suggestions though! I guess you guys are just stuck dealing with us in the chat.. SUCKS TO BE YOU!!!

haha, nice Hackers reference. dork. : P
haha.. of course, its the greatest movie in the WORLD!!!!
solution: find a new job!
i wish i could.. i REALLY do.. but i kinda like everyone here.. and i have a flexible schedule.. like ur journal entry said.. i have 3 outta the 5 things you said...
another solution: i'll think about it, and get back to you in a few hours with something.
me too heh
ok, first question: do you have any idea what firewall/monitoring software your admin uses?
notta clue, i DO know that he is very paranoid about people hacking in.. That may be why i have so much trouble accessing any proxy addresses
ian, im not allowed to use users names? thats why you took their names out?
it's just easier for people to figure out who you mean by using user names instead of real names. not everybody knows that magnum = joe.
wow, I was named first. OK, here's my advice: probably whatever you do the admin will eventually find out about it. He seems to be pretty adamant in his desire to prohibit you from using unecessary web services. If you'd like to keep your job, I'd suggest you not try to circumvent his restrictions.
hm. actually a very good suggestion.
yea, but... i want to make it HARD for him... if its too much work, i dont think he will follow up on EVERYTHING....
talking about circumvent... i'd like to circumvent the globe
maybe the best idea, going along with what dean said, is to talk to your admin about it. tell him reasons why using AIM within the company will make everyone more productive, by increasing communication between team members, as well as between different levels of the company. also, if someone is out sick, they can still be easily and quickly contacted if they are online at home. everyone here uses AIM all the time. it's faster, and makes sending a URL or bits of code so much easier than sending stupid one line emails.
of course, mentioning that may change his mind, but then he might want to just run an AIM server internally (which you can do) which still wouldn't let you talk to katie. hahah. at least you can get on eZabel!
we... well, we actually have ICQ.. but its only inter-office... i cant contact anyone else on that....
wow they sell AIM servers? thats awesome. I didn't know that. did you know I developed an Instant Messaging system for my Senior project?
they don't sell them. it's free. and i don't know if it's actually "official".
and haaha, yeah, i know about the java IM prog you did. i just read your resume dude, i mean, come on! "Dean's List" ahahhahahaha
dean, i got this weird letter in the mail the other day, saying that i was on your list or something? i threw it out
soooo funny.
Like Ian said before. Get a new job. Or if you really want to keep this job, give up aim. Use a phone, email, or just do your job and quit messing around. hahahahaah. just kidding mike, slack away.
haha... yeah right, like he would ever do that.
I say, buy a copy of 2600 at your local Barnes & Noble.
hahaha, yeah man! the hacker quarterly should become your bible. that and alt.2600
Trillian gives you AIM, ICQ, MSN-m, Y!IM, and IRC in a single program.
and that supposed to help him how?
at my job, i can't even sign into ezabel with my username. it just gives me the "error" screen and tells me to contact my administrator. i can't sign into hotmail, either. it's all blocked by big brother. one time i went to a web site to look up that urban legend about wingdings, and my boss got a message from the computer nerds that i was on terrorist web sites... and i got yelled at :(
and i bet you cried and whined and got a raise cause of it.
Hackers was a good movie
b/c of angelina jolie? ;)
Yeah, she is a hottie!!
she was sooooooooo ugly in that movie.. and that movie was not good.. it was so unbelievably fake, they didn't even try to make it realistic.. if you ask me.. the world does not need movies like that.
she had really short hair... and matthew lillard was in it... funny stuff.
yeah and michael richards was in it too, remember, he had that special broomstick and stuff, and he beat the guy up with it, and there was the firehose and all that... great movie.
HAHA!! wrong movie doofus!! that was uhf, also a good movie. well, i cant say "also" cuz i've never seen hackers. and it was a MOP not a broomstick
hahaha, i know man. thanks for laughing!
its cuz it was before the huge BOOM of internet reality... i mean the internet is used so much more now, so that movie is gay... but back then it was SO GOOD!
Thanks Tina for the clarification and explaining that to everyone!
youre SO welcome, how kind of you to let me in (MFL)
ok listen, you ALLL are dumb, hackers is one of the BEST movies around... and if you DONT like hackers... go up to a second story window.. preferably above a sidewalk or street, and THROW YOUR COMPUTER OUT THE WINDOW!!! cause you dont deserve it!!!!!!!
hahaha...awesome mike, couldnt have said it better myself...
Angelina Jolie = hottie
hummmmida hummmidda... oohhh YEA!!!!!
didn't we have this discussion mike??? lol
hm everytime i see your name i think of something that is not very nice, mayyyyyybe you should consider like changing it rofl
If I changed it, I would change it to "clap the matter." So, I'll just keep what I have; w/o the spaces.
hm okay that wouldnt change the meaning in my head lol, nm :D
what does it mean to you?
its not what it means exactly its just what my eyes interpret it as if u know what i mean
yeah I know what you mean
nope, i have no idea
okay you heard of something called "the clap"?
Yeah thats the thing you clapped at to shut the lights off
hahahaha.... oh yeah, i guess i have. that's an english thing though, we dont hear that much around here. actually the only reason i know that is because i watch monty python
ever see a leauge of their own?
Yes, I have. Never all the way thru, tho. Oh yeh, I was watching this game show called "The Geeks," (I think) on Comedy Central one time. According to the movie geek on that episode, Tom Hanks apparently urinates in at least one scene in every movie that he's been in so far. Right now, I hafta take his word on that, because I'm not sure. I didn't go thru all of his movies to check up on that. Maybe someone here can make defense.
yes! I can back you up on that. My fav. "urinating part" is when they time him while hes going. Its so funny!
Haha. Actually, I was saying in all of his movies... not just in A League of Their Own. According to the movie geek, he urinates in Forrest Gump, Cast Away, all of them. A trademark, if you will.
what a thing to be known for...
What about in BIG ??
i loooooove that film ha ha - i want that giant trampoline in my bedroom!
Most likely.....if this geek is telling the truth and all. But, I would to view it again. I haven't seen that one in a long while. So, I can't say for sure.
It should be obvious that my reference is not to that sort, tho. Otherwise, It'd be "theclap" and not "clapthematter." Why can't you just think about the word's etmology; its original intent/purpose. Ever go see a real stellar performance? So brilliant, it makes you want to cheer?... i.e.: clap your hands. "Clap" was not introduced on the basis of anything sickening/negative. I actually got the phrase "clapthematter," out of a real grreat song. And.... it's context here in this song is basically saying, well, it's just jibberish really, I guess. Very nice song. Very nice. You can find it on the Batman & Robin Movie Soundtrack. The song's called The Bug. It's pretty strange. I love it.
ha ha no worries its just what it brings to mind every time i see it - im guessin u gize dont really know of it over there, must be a british thing (altho youmost def have it but maybe use a diff name).
Well....what is it then? ;)
I guess it's a name for a STD, judging by the tone that she wrote in. That's my guess. I don't know, tho. Howbeit, I will be creating a new user name. I don't want my user name to be seen in that sort of light. I will make my name, "theremin." Hopefully, we won't have problems with this new name. The theremin is a musical instrument, by the way. It means only that, too. :)
annnnnnnnnd.. here i am.
i liked clapthematter much better. just my two cents! :)
Well, no one really cares about how much your worth, so you can keep the two cents...
: / i feel bad now - cos u changed it basically cos of me - saaaaaaaaawy*
you SHOULD feel bad.. tisk tisk tisk
what a wonderful phrase - Hakuna Matata, aint no passing phase

cough coughsuckupcough cough
hey i wouldnt suck up while coughin if i were you, you might choke
i dont see why, you can cough when ur sucking up... it just happens sometimes...
no dont do it -seriously you would choke
In that case let him....
my my my... so much hate there dude, easy....
Ok here it goes. Install aim on your pc, and find some way to wipe logs or tell him you are testing the firewall again or something "truthful".
Next setup a box at home, your friends house or someplace.
Install bnc on it on port 80 and then have it point to the aol login server.
Point your aim connection at work to that machine on port 80.
Once you click login it will goto that machine then from there bounce to the aim server thus letting you irc from work.
DONE! WHOSE YOUR DADDY?
I don't know about you all...but it really dosn't bother me at all that Katie and Mike are Always in there...so,If it was up to me, just stay in there!
i dont think anyone minds it but im sure they would like some privacy to at times :P

I dont suck up.... I am GEN-U-INE !!!
hahaha... thank you jahanna... hahaha
Get yourself a Palm i705 with wireless AIM and keep it in your pocket.
im sure he's got the cash to buy that, and sign up for wireless internet just so he can talk to katie. Yup that's practical! =)
those are niceeeeee
well i wouldnt mind taking donations to buy that beautiful piece of machinery.... mmmmm mmmmm mmmmmm
Like I said from the beginning.
