Productivity Going Down

129 words.

I learned today that network security at work is scheduled to take a big left turn into absurdity next week. They are attempting to keep the developers completely off the network, because for some reason the higher-ups think they represent the largest security risk. We won’t be able to directly access the Internet, the database servers, or the production servers. All we’ll be able to connect with is a Citrix server. It’s silly. For those keeping score, yes, that means we will be effectively blocked from being able to do any meaningfully productive work. Anyway, I may have to start developing some new and inventive ways to update my site. I was pondering a web-based IRC client today, in fact. Let’s see if you can block THAT, ya bastards!

There may be formatting problems that I haven't addressed yet. There may be problems with missing or mangled images that I haven't fixed yet. There may have been comments on the original post, which I have archived, but I haven't quite worked out how to show them on the new site.
