The best way is to set up a proxy then do a usage report by department and by site. Share report with all employees by email. The minute it is publicly known that your boss and management will see how much company bandwidth and time you spend on FB and YT ...m The sites will automatically block themselves ------Original Message------ From: Compuline Kenya Sender: skunkworks-bounces(a)lists.my.co.ke To: Skunkworks forum ReplyTo: Skunkworks forum Subject: [Skunkworks] Block facebook and youtube on cisco router 800 Sent: 13 Jul 2012 14:39 Hii all, any one managed to configure the above... kindly assist offline... am missing something somewhere hv goggled with no success need a success setting offline thank you Chege _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke ------------ List info, subscribe/unsubscribe http://orion.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks ------------ Skunkworks Rules http://my.co.ke/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=94 ------------ Other services @ http://my.co.ke Sent from my BlackBerry®

> > sorry meant XSS Nope, this is not cross site scripting and would be very unethical for Odinga people to do such a thing. This is basically Odinga people buying both domains and funnelling both traffic to the later domain.

SLOW INTERNET
by Moses Muya 14 Jul '12

14 Jul '12

Listers, I was wondering what had gone wrong with my usually-very-fast Internet connection in the last two days but it looks like the answer is here : http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/?articleID=2000053001&pageNo=1 . As you may be guessing by now, a ship has yet again docked in the wrong place and damaged a cable! Get used to the slow connection, it will be like this for at least 14 more days! (ouch) In the eyes of Albert Einstein, we(Kenyans) would be nothing but insane since we have done things in the same way expecting different results! I may not be a prophet but I can assure you this is not going to be the last cable cut! Some months ago, I asked the P.S whether there were any measures put in place to protect telecommunications infrastructure but he did not give me an answer since, according to him, my question was 'simplistic'! -- Kind Regards, Moses Muya.
