If he can't access boards from UCD he's unlikely to be posting from there

I'm told that you can get wireless signal if you perch your laptop on top of the bin outside the Quinn building..

It was probably due to the MASSIVE OUTAGE boards had there last week.

UCD never did any kind of content filtering, and in the time I was there, there wasn't even rumblings of consideration of a filtering system.

It would be probably too hard to manage, and anyway i don't think there's ever been a major issue with people's browsing... but i stand correct seamus if you say there was. The one thing i would agree with tho' is ad-blocking, i have it working at home with Squid on certain sites (the ones on boards and a few other sites which i don't mind viewing get let through).

Yep, noticed that last week. Can't even get through the back door....bastards...they're on to us! :eek:

There was talk of one for ALL heanet connected institutions last year.
A lot of noise made of it but nothing since.
