I can't enjoy the ease of tabbed browsing yet. There's some Microsoft vulnerability in IE7 that is preventing security from allowing us to download it on our machines here at work. I love it at home.

We still have windows 2000 here at work and the entire DHS network did as well until about a year or so ago when they finally started upgrading to XP in the field...hasn't made it to us yet.

 

get opera, tabbed browsing has been on it for along time

 

you people are what's wrong with this country. j/k
i too have mastered the art of cube-based passive sonar. i can tell who it is and how far away they are accurately almost every time. it gets exasperating because it's like grand central effing terminal outside my cube. i opt for the click-out method though. clicking to the autocad window in the background is faster for me than alt/tab.

 

^ clicking makes noise. Any fool will know that if u click when someone is comming up ...its to hide something. Its even funnier when you scare someone by mistake and they change the screen when you are right next to them.

 

That app is the devil. Why in the world would I want the last webpage I have went to open up when you launch the app? My god. This doesnt pertain to me ..but if it mattered .....anybody could just open the app and see exactly where you were and at what page.

 

my opera opens with nothing, and my history is never stored.

opera, like many pieces of software in the new millenia, has this thing called "preferences" that you can set :p

 

I'm using a chrome stapler that I place on top of a mini storage bin on my desk for side mirrors, then put SL on a corner of my screen then ALT-TAB all the way!!!

 

Hide internet surfing at work I float around the twin cities area and fill in at diffent sites my company is located. Today I am baby sitting a loading dock. I have 45 minutes of actual work which is done. I am the only one here, there will be NO hidding of scionlife today. Really I never hide, I just make sure when I am online it is a good time, like lunch break. Or today, all afternoon.

 

in response to waggz, actually when using autocad you click all the time. if you're ever in a cad production room, all you hear is nonstop clicking interspersed with 2 or 3 typed characters. using the clickout method i can go right back into it and make it seem like i was working the whole time.

 

I don't need to hide it...

 

Ah - yea there is truth to that. But the body tenses up when you are trying to focus too hard to click. I work for a development company ...there are mostly keyboards going.

 

People can only see the back of my monitors. And I can see anyone who is approaching my office. But before, it was alt+tab.

 

I can't hide it. My boss gets reports of what internet sites get accessed at work. I have been banned from seeing SL. I can only use three site and there work related. Now my day drrraaagggssss on.

 

damn that sucks, my boss always says that stuff. "the partners can see any web site you view and when" but I know they have way more important things to do.

 

The alt+tab works, but for a total emergency, use the

Windows Key + D combo :D

Winkey + M also works for just minimizing open windows (instead of total "show desktop")

 

i don't have a computer at work

 

well, at school i keep the tabs hot and ready, but if it is a computer i use a lot at school i update it with firefox and its flash click thing that lets you drag your mouse in a pattern to go to a previous page or close all together, thats tight!

 

Last few years I was working I owned the company and set the rules. Just so long as your work got done well and on time, I didn't care that much what you did, just don't burn down the place (and wash your hands afterwards...).

I saw no point in limiting those things that reduce office stress as long as they didn't interfere with the work getting done, and as long as it didn't frighten the customers.
