[Iconic944ss]

Since taking up the post of Website busy-body, I've been alarmed at the number of people who appear to use a work based E-mail address to receive mail from the DSC.

I thought I'd post my own experiences of this - I should of done this sooner really.

The last company I used to work for had a fairly relaxed attitude to internet usage until, the installed a site wide maintenance system that relied heavily on the internet (the word SAP will instill fear into a few peeps I imagine).

We all knew that a 'net-nanny' was being used to stop anyone looking at naughty website and the like but during dinnertime we all still used to look up local news, play on-line games etc etc.

I must admit I used to be pretty good, but since it was around the time I bought my 900ss - I was (even more than now) addicted to browsing the DSC and other Duke websites. Within a few weeks virtually all my work colleagues, including myself had all internet and E-mail access withdrawn.

I had to attend a disciplinary hearing in which every single website I had visited and every email I had made were all shown to me as electronic logs.

I then had to sign a disclaimer to state that I would only make Business related use of the Internet and Email services - and left with a verbal warning.

With the progress of software technology I imagine its now easier (and cheaper) than ever to monitor EXACTLY what staff are doing on-line.

I'd hate for anyone to get any black marks against them of any type, just because of their love of Ducati's

Please be careful out there.

Cheers - Frank
