Quoth the friendly folks at Websense, with regards to my Friendster account (which I could access from work on Thursday, no problem):

Access to this web page is restricted at this time.
Reason: The Websense category "Personals and Dating" is filtered.

*sound of camel's back snapping*

That is it. I'm getting hooked up at home, whether I have to give up singing lessons, alcohol, or Grandma's heart medication- I have officially had it. if Net access at home isn't guaranteed under the Bill of Rights, it damn well should be.

What is Websense?

[coyotegoth.livejournal.com]

Essentially, Websense blocks programs which the powers-that-be behind it think might be offensive or adult in nature. There's rarely any rhyme or reason behind its selection criteria; I've clicked on nude pictures (accidentally) without a problem, but harlness items such as (in this case) a Friendster testemonial get blocked. After four years of this, enough is enough.)
