Originally by: Mikey Monkfish I'm sat in work now with unrestricted internet access, but unable to play Eve as my company has strict download and games policies Ahh, I see where the confusion is now. I can access any site I want as they are not filtered or blocked, however, I am not allowed to download any software or play any games. Which isn't good as Eve needs the client software installed. :(

All I did was provide a means of transporting the eve files, I never assumed that anyone would use that to play the game on their work system when they should actually be working, what naughty people. Anyway, what if he has a lot of time where he has nothing to do? some would say that I earn my free time by doing my job well in the first place.

I just applied that logic to your post and now my brain's stuck in an infinite loop. It's just as bad as: "This statement is untrue" because if it was true it would be a lie, which makes it untrue, but then you couldn't say it's untrue because then it would really be true, which means it isn't true, and..and I've gone cross eyed. ----------- Join channel 'Turby' or die!

Usotsuki	Posted - 2006.08.30 13:42:00 - [32] I play eve at work sometimes. Unfortunately, as the only person in the IT department for a company with over 100 PCs and a handful of servers, in the time it takes to boot up eve and set a destination, i get interrupted. I get paid pretty well, but free time is a luxory i still can't afford.

Ohh and i read the forums when no ones looking.
Mikey Monkfish	Posted - 2006.08.30 15:24:00 - [34] I never thought this topic would become the spam-fest that it has. On a lighter note, I've finished work and I'm waiting to be picked up, so I'll be playing Eve in a bit!
Idaeus Gallente Crimson Wings Squadron	Posted - 2006.08.30 15:36:00 - [35] I read the forums. The county wouldn't like it if one of their 911 Operators had EVE splashed across our three screen setup (though that'd be sweet). Of course they do have several flat panel TVs in the call center so we can watch TV when we're not busy. +IOI?
Anfelina Adante Gallente	Posted - 2006.08.30 16:42:00 - [36] I make a daily list of options and then review them in my mind at work. That makes the day go by for me.

G0rF Gallente The Causality	Posted - 2006.08.30 16:59:00 - [41] I do my job. I have a job I hate, although not as much as any other job I've ever had in my 15 year career (Now a web-dev, used to be an... oh god I can't even say it... accountant). As I see it, if it was fun, it'd be a hobby, and you wouldn't get paid for it. Work = Boredom, Frustration, Stress and Earning. Home = Relaxation, Gaming, fun and Spending. Mutually exclusive, and as seperate as it's possible to make them.

Then before I go to work I set those skills skill training completed I hear when I log on after coming home. Sweet. Recruitment
Gaia's Wrath	Posted - 2006.08.30 17:32:00 - [44] First buy a cheap router for your home (IPSEC based). Second talked to the IT guy if you are not him and do a little payoff if needed or trickery i.e. i work from home and the office and need to do secure file transfers, bosses love it when you want do extra work from home, hehe. Then set up a encrpted VPN tunnel to your home from your office. Turn down the z-buffer (I think, its one of the graphic options). Launch eve for your office computer from your home computer over the tunnel. Net captures will show encrypted packets. No games on your local machine and depending on your office computer graphics you can play Eve all day long and nobody will know.

Gaia's Wrath	Posted - 2006.08.30 17:36:00 - [46] Oh and virtual servers are fun too. I believe Microsoft Virtual server 2005 R2 is now free. Awesome for test environments and bypassing network montoring with loopbacks. Weeeeeeeee, oh FYI virtual server has the potential to have the same impact outlook had on business users. If your in IT and don't have a test environment you is just crazy or stupid you choose.
Locke DieDrake Port Royal Independent Kontractors Imperial Republic Of the North	Posted - 2006.08.30 17:43:00 - [47] I post on the forums, occasionally log in to change a skill or buy something/sell something. But mainly at work, I work. It just so happens that my work ebs and flows alot, so I end up with alot of down time. Also, I'm my own boss at a company I helped create. So if I am not working when I should be, I'm only hurting myself. ___________________________________________ The deeper you stick it in your vein, the deeper the thoughts there's no more pain. ___________________________________________
Tsavong Lah Caldari Solar Storm Axiom Empire	Posted - 2006.08.30 17:46:00 - [48] I don't have the net at work, so no eve/forums for me. I just try not to pwn the newbies too badly while trying to make everyone hate work almost as much as me Oh, that plus staring at the chicks. I got a jar of dirt!

Ralgur	Posted - 2006.08.30 18:13:00 - [51] Originally by: Benco97 Originally by: Mikey Monkfish Which isn't good as Eve needs the client software installed. :( Eve will quite happily run from a usb stick, no need for any files to touch the hard drive. So, how big of a USB stick do you think is needed? Sure, I can check the file sizes and all, but I'm curious if anyone has tried this such that they have a suggestion in regards to what size stick works best?

No games on your local machine and depending on your office computer graphics you can play Eve all day long and nobody will know. Actually at my old company my boss used to walk around staring at people's work asking what they were doing and whenever anybody would zoom out for a bit, he'd ask what they were doing x 100 times a day. I seriously doubt that your boss walking around will not notice your BS ganking poor innocent souls somewhere in JITA ;-) In addition, there are backstabbing colleagues, who will mostly gossip about you playing EVE to your boss, that sometimes you are dreaming of podding, wishing there was no cloning (ressurection if u like) feature in - game. PS: I'm unemployed, live at home with mom and dad, but i'm optimistic ;-) hehehehehe Long Live Warriors
