I knew this day was coming.
Late in the day, Friday, a new employee handbook was issued at work. The revised and updated portions of the handbook -- the ONLY parts revised -- were the sections regarding internet usage and social networking.
Specifically, personal usage of workstations and computers for social-networking are going to be monitored and/or restricted. Effective Monday.
So I will no longer be able to lounge around on VR, or keep VR on in the background, all day while at work. I can't blame them for this, as these sorts of policies are becoming commonplace while the popularity of social-networking grows. It begins to imoact employees' work performance and the infrastructure of office equipment.
But it still sucks.
So, unfortunately, I will only be on VR during weekends and some weeknights as time permits.

I like how some of these are described as 'possible' and are then given an estimated time for completion. That's a level of detail only a hard-core nerd would provide.
Nerd rule.
Always.

It's the iguana apocalypse! Near-freezing temperatures in Florida are making iguanas fall from trees -- in their sleep!

The non-native lizard was first introduced to Florida by careless pet owners and has become one of the state's most invasive species. While Florida has similar weather to the iguanas' native home of South America, it is clearly not identical.
While the lizards' comatose state provides a perfect opportunity to reign in the invasive species, there is a warning...
"I knew of a gentleman who was collecting them off the street and throwing them in the back of his station wagon, and all of a sudden these things are coming alive, crawling on his back and almost caused a wreck." - Ron Magill of the Miami Metrozoo
sweet.... iguana zombies!

I bet at least ONE supervisor is in his office playing Farmville on Facebook.

all of them are on Facebook playing games!
Half the people at work are streaming audio at their desks, which kills the bandwidth for the rest of us.
But I'll admit, I spend more time than I should on non-work-related websites.
