I was going to pop up a post yesterday.

It would have ran a little something like this:

The end is near! The end is near!

As of today, our company's new internet access policy kicked in. I didn't know about it until I found that I couldn't access my gmail account. In fact, add to it my hotmail account, Yahoo! Mail account, Yahoo! Groups, my blog (or any other blogs for that matter), and Skype.

Before that, youtube.com (which Taiwanese people call "you to be") had already been blocked.

NOW what am I supposed to do at work?

The only saving grace is that Canucks.com, NHL.com, and the game live audio feed are still accessible.

This morning, I could have written that same blog -- but would have been unable to post it online, for the reasons stated.

But now, after lunch, maybe our IT department and the big wigs above had a chance to think the policy more clearly. While I still can't check my other email accounts, at least I can blog and read blogs, as well as peruse Yahoo! Groups postings. Skype is back too. So, hooray for that.

I'll give it a couple of days and see if email accounts come back. [fingers crossed]
