Please, Dave, or whomever...

We have a new firewall at work.  Basically, I can only listen to the TYT broadcast now.  When you put up mugshots and I can't see them, I want to weep.  Please post them.  We don't have YouTube either.

I know.

Not that I'd quit, but I need certain things to be happy.

Please?

this is why (none / 0)
you become a member, so you can watch the show when you're not at work, and see the images.  It's really worth it, because then Dave doesn't have to do unnecessary work.

You don't understand (none / 0)

I am a member.  That's how I'm listening to the entire podcast one day later.  Before, I listened live and/or just streamed the older episodes off the website, and life was grand.

Now, no such luck.

And my evenings are reserved for Rachel, Keith, and Jon.

I pay my dues!

Talk to your administrator (none / 0)
It's not the firewall part of the protection that's blocking you, it's the proxy filter.  They're probably trying to save bandwidth for other purposes than streaming video.

It's a bummer, but I've had to do it for a couple of clients whose employees were strangling their connections.

But you have suggested a good idea: having a page on the site with important pictures and other graphics from each show available.  But that would be adding that much more work to the crew's already heavy workload.

This might be a problem without an easy solution.

However, you might try changing the proxy settings for your browser to use an offsite proxy that lets you slip stuff through your company's.  But if you ever tell anyone that I suggested that, I will find you and fill your apartment with cockroaches.

LOL! (none / 0)

EveningStar, even if I fully understood what you just said, I wouldn't tell on you.  You impress me with your knowledge.

Thanks for the tip.  I'll write you privately if I grow the cajones to try it.
