Jan. 4th, 2008 01:41 pmSo, the source of my paycheck has implemented new filtering rules on our intertubes.
posicat posted this cute meme that involved going to random places to get the name of your band, their album, and their jacket art. (Mine, by the way, was Naomi Long Madgett who produced a record called Treat Us As Equals, which is oddly appropriate), but I couldn't find my cover art because Flickr is blocked.
Now, I could just VPN to my home network, VNC to my server there, and open it up that way (which I did), but that's kind of annoying. I've seen solutions for setting up a proxy server; the sort of thing where I can go to a site on my server, then get my server to pull up content for me within the page to avoid the firewall at work. Anyone have any quick and dirty links to how to do such a thing? I'm happy to learn a thing or two while I'm at it, though I don't have time for anything really in depth. This is a project I've been intending to set up for my dad's use too, since the school he teaches in blocks some useful things.
