Ahira's Hangar

I got on Google+ last week.

Looks interesting, check it out:

Yeah, I got on it the other day.

Is it any good? Magickmaker got an invitation, too.

I think it has a lot of potential. A bunch of my friends from another forum have really taken to it, being geeky techy types.

Not so my RL friends. They joined, but they don't seem to know quite what to do with it yet.

Want an invite?

Thanks, but Magickmaker gave me one. I'm not sure what to do with it either, frankly. I'll have to look you up and add you to my Watch circle.

Found you. Added you.

I guess I should go there, then, huh? I keep forgetting about it....

Part of the problem is that I can't get to it from here at work. I get a page saying "your browser is no longer supported", yet I would suppose we're running the most recent version of Exploder. Altho maybe not -- I just checked the version and it says we're using IE 7. Isn't there an IE 10 or something now?

Eh, I can't get to any of that stuff from work. They block a ridiculous number of sites (including sites I could actually use for work!).

Yes, I have similar issues, Duchess.

It's the stupid site blocking software that can't tell the difference between a useful site and a time-wasting site.

I can get useful sites unblocked on a case by case basis (and have, with several). On the other hand, I could spend my whole day doing that and still not be able to get to all the sites I could use for my work. So many times I just give up and find the info I need at home, than email it to myself.

How ridiculous is that?

That sounds like my kids getting around being on some instant messaging at school (forget if it was AIM or Yahoo) back when they were in middle school by going to the UK website for it.
