Putting it through Altavista's translation with english to english "translation."

I'll be curious to know if it works

I agree. They are definetly checking up on you. Don't know how big your company is but for them to pick s2ki.com to block, it's not normal. My company blocks all know photo sites to youtube.com. If one day, they block s2ki.com I know that I'm in deep shit.

Nice idea...I tried that with youtube.com but it errored out in IE.

They probably just started out with a white list of where you can go rather than a black list of where you can't go. Ask them to allow S2ki.

I don't know how this works but my brother is a computer programmer and he set something up to allow me to surf from my work on blocked websites. He said it was a simple program to write.

It worked like this:

I would somehow connect to my home computer from work and surf through that computer. (I had to leave the home computer on) That computer would surf the sites but my computer at work would display the URL address backwards for some reason. That would make it so the software blocking the site would not recognize it.

Maybe you can find a nerd who can set something like that up for you.

If you're tech-savy you could always open a remote desktop connection to your home computer, provided they haven't blocked the necessary ports. If they have, I would request that they open them for you because you have a need to retrieve files from your home computer while at the office. Then you don't have to specifically tell them you want to surf a car site.

If anyone uses your computer while you're at the office then that's not a solution because they won't be able to use it while you're connected remotely.

I've heard someone from my company did just that and got canned. An investment bank this big does not put up with bs.

something like this...

https://secure.logmein.com/home.asp?lang=en

but careful though.
using this can actually bring you bigger trouble-
i'd rather get one or two slaps on my hand by having them know what i look at,
than trying to outsmart them then get in the suspect list when some security problems that's got nothing to do with you surfaces.
