Yesterday in my fornightly "chat" with my manager it was mentioned
that I had been observed to be playing games at work by higer level
managers, when i should be "working".

I suspect infact that what they see is me browsing civ duel zone
all the time. So to disguise this fact a little i have installed
the unix run, text based lynx web broswer. It makes it look like
you are doing work, when infact you are surfing civ duel zone. Ok so i
can't see pic's but that was how i got in to trouble in the first
place.

Here is a screen shot of what CDZ looks like on lynx:
opps i can't select the option to upload a file. Will have to back to Opera web broswer to do that.

EDIT: lynx screen shot:

You sneaky bastard :D

Isn't it simpler to block all images?

it is fairly simple alright to not download images in Opera, but it still fairly obvious that i am on the web

Bloody fascists @ your workplace.. I'm browsing CDZ the whole day (yes, I work for the government ;)), and I only get interested remarks such as 'oooh, what kind of fun game is that??' :D
