| “safe blogg” means readonly blogg in office without breach. No posting. Mostly printing. |
Some level of “inconvenience” is common, frequent and almost unavoidable. Serenity! Be adaptable, not perfectionist. ( Analog: BigBrother all-green is something rare and temporary. )
Reality — at home I have multiple laptops and printer for blogg -> Bloblo may nudge me to spend more time at home. Could be a positive change in the long run.
— twister sms to accept the company policy gracefully. I need effective self-talk, just as my needs it.
- I am a flexible and adaptable employee. I can recover from company restrictions and find solutions, and get use to the new normal.
- info sec team is paid to protect the firm infrastructure. Company infrastructure is crucial and can bring down the entire company.
- .. Company Policy — If any site (not only personal blogs) poses a threat to firm computer network, InfoSec will block it, without exception. The blocking is irreversible. For any unblocked blog, you need to ensure it doesn’t “upgrade” to an unsafe version.
- I do appreciate the company wifi as an alternative. I was able to appeal to the info-sec team lead and get a fair hearing.
I am always an appreciative employee. - many past employers are more restrictive. I remember GS. In Qz team, even stackoverflow is blocked. I was reminded that some civil servants don’t have internet access at all.
- To my surprise, I have adapted well to the “print2pdf -> mass-mail to office -> wait 20m -> print out”. However, the home printers remain a valuable /fallback/
— mirror to ease printing in office
Opiton 1: no change. USD 13/M
Option 2: get free domain name, then migrate (legwork) one of my 3 blogs to new domain name.
Option 2a: set up tmpMirror123.dreamhosters.com.
Benefit…. printing from office
option 2b: change hosting provider (legwork) if mirror confirmed.
Additional benefit…. save on hosting fee
Main t$cost is legwork. I am in no hurry, but I may lose motivation during the long journey. If I worry about the disappointment and frustration, then maybe choose Option 1.
A second t$cost is domain registration cost… about USD 20/Y. Quite small compared to hosting fee, but it is still a headache.
Once I set up a mirror, it represents a hazard. Now I feel Option 2a (or 2b) is low value high risk high effort.
