Web at Work

Some people like to browse the net on company time. That’s a bad thing. But just supposing you do it, theres nothing more suspicious than you closing off a window quickly every time someone walks past. They know damn well what you’re up to.

There is a solution. www.workfriendly.net. Simple enter the website address you wish to browse to and this website will pop up a window which looks just like Microsoft Word, with the website looking just like a word document.

As an added bonus, there’s a ‘boss key’ in the top left of the page. Moving the mouse over it will cause the website to quickly change to a business looking document. Move the mouse over the key again when the coast is clear and the website you were looking at will come back once more.

If you want to get really technical, you can go to a website such as www.cloakip.net first, then enter the name of the site you want to browse to there. When the page loads, copy the address and paste it into www.workfriendly.net. This will mean that the proxy address of the site you are visiting is also hidden.
