I work in a job where there are days when I spend literally HOURS staring at a screen, waiting for the system to do something. It is sometimes due to a bug, but sometimes it is because it simply takes a certain system a long time to respond. During these times, I often keep a smaller second window open on my desktop, and browse the Net looking for information. My boss is entirely satisfied with this arrangement (as is his boss, as is her boss), but I have some coworkers who are decidedly not. They feel even one moment spent on the web is too much.
Well, for those situations, there is now workfriendly.net. It is a website that reformats ANY web page to look like text displayed in Microsoft Word! For example, click here to see what Mod-Blog looks like through this interface. Clean, easy, and non-infuriating for those nosy coworkers looking for any reason to complain about you. To change the site, enter a new URL where mod-blog.blogspot.com is located, and then click the left arrow next to it.
Obviously, the official Mod-Blog stand is not to endorse using this tool to deceive spouses, bosses, or yourself during a particularly effective procrastination session.
that is a neat trick. How well does it work when you work by yourself? Can you fool yourself into thinking that you are actually working?
YanıtlaSilThe link seems to be broken or having a problem. If you take the "browse.aspx" off the end it works fine (I'm using Firefox on a Mac, so maybe that is part of it.)
YanıtlaSilInteresting idea.
