Icy Falls

Ice Nurbs



Thursday? Jeezum, next thing you know it'll be Christmas or something. Not much new on the GPS, mostly retracing the same ol' routes. Tried to get a picture of the full moon rising yesterday afternoon but it just didn't make the grade (the photo that is). Been setting up the network at work and today I was configuring the router/firewall doohickey and ran across these categories on the filter page:

Violence/Profanity, Partial Nudity, Full Nudity, Sexual Acts, Gross Depictions, Intolerance, Satanic/Cult, Drug Culture, Militant/Extremist, Sex Education, Gambling/Questionable/Illegal, Alcohol/Tobacco

It could be that just by typing this list I'll end up being blocked by routers all over the world. Crazy world. Can you imagine if the rest of your life was this configurable? Walk into a library, video store, or even look at a Truck Stop magazine rack and your eyes start fogging over and blanking out questionable content. Maybe you go to say hi to the cashier and find that they are being blacked out because your personal firewall thinks you shouldn't be exposed to such a scoundrel. I'd have to install a special exception just so I could see my dog...a known crotch sniffer and public defacator.
