That sucks! I was on earlier for the Buffett Buffet. And just think, they probably blocked it because of you!!! I know I am the only person in my office that listens. The other guys are into rap and heavy metal.

I'm sure streaming audio all day eats up bandwidth but they need to get their priorities straight. Add more bandwidth. I'm much more productive listening to music.

Are you sure it's your company, and not RM?

Unfortunately, yes. The site was deemed inappropriate. It's the same message I get for other blocked sites.

My old job used to block stuff too but some smart guy set up some proxy server setting for me and it worked like a champ. It used that to get to the internet and not the company stuff. And no, that isn't why I am not with the company anymore. LOL

if you hadn't sent those emails to Utley asking him for autographed topless shots from your work account, you'd have been fine.

your company is probably blocking all streaming video/music websites not just RM. streaming eats alot of bandwidth.

My company blocks all videos and steaming but I always have to check as if they are showing a sports event the techies like they unblock it. Wimbledon tennis we could watch this year.

I have been listening to sandbar radio for the past week - it's great! Unfortunately my work blocks it...sort of. Any idea how to fix this...the site shows that the station is actually playing but there is no sound. Before we all make fun jokes, let me say that my speakers are turned on and the mute button is not pushed on the site. Any techies with ideas how to get around this?
