So it seems there was some sort of Spy-Ware upgrade launched Tuesday night, so Wednesday morning thousands of loyal readers (myself included) were locked out from reading takeareport at work. A couple of “bulge bracket” firms were among the restricted, and at least one buy-side server.
Fucking shame because when you think about it, who the fuck is this site hurting? Maybe there’s an argument that I slow down productivity slightly during the day, but does anybody believe that the lack of productivity is equal to the good morale that is caused as a result of people actually laughing at their desks?
It really is fucking ridiculous. Companies are going to fucking zero, but some jerk-off is gonna get a “gold-star” because he stopped the Big-Bad-takeareport-Guys from polluting the minds of his employees.
And you know what especially sucks? Those poor bastards over at Bear got blocked… I really got a kick out of the fact that a couple dozen readers over there were still digging the site even though they are in pretty dire straits. And now that’s fucking ripped away. Talk about salt on a fucking wound.
What is this… Communist Russia?
We are all fucking adults, and I think that if an employer doesn’t think his employee can be productive without an internet “Big Brother”, then maybe they should fire said employee, because, chances are, he was a moron to begin with.
The Admin is cooking up a way to get around this whole mess, but until it’s worked out, here’s a secret squirrel move a buddy of mine gave me…think about cut and pasting the info below and sending it to your cyber afflicted friends…
1) Log on to www.blockedsiteaccess.com
2) Go half-way down the page.
3) Delete where it says “www.Myspace.com”
4) And type in “www.takeareport.com”
If blockedsiteaccess.com is also restricted in your workplace, just Google it, because there are a bunch of sites that offer a free way around restrictions (www.unblocksitesnow.com is another good one).
Also try…virtual-browser.com - it looks like a quality backdoor site.
Corporate America is essentially telling me and the Admin to “go sit in the back of the bus”, and I’m telling you right now, they can go fuck themselves if they think we’re gonna just lie down and let this happen.
Thanks for your patience as we work to relieve this oppression beset upon us by “The Man”, and take a fucking report.
