If you look real closely it actually says:
Wow. Do I suck at photoshop or what?
Here's a fact, should the librarian want to look at what you are doing they can do it remotely from the information desk; Or as I prefer to call it "Evil HQ". As I was sitting there one day, writing an email I noticed that this "Vision Client" had suddenly turned on, meaning that the librarian was watching my computer, which on its own was a gross invasion of privacy, but what made it worse is that I was writing an email at the time. An email, a personal, private email. Grr! What in gods name gives them the right to spy on my computer when i'm writing a friggin' email? Who does that? It is akin to somebody standing over your shoulder as you write a letter. What if I was writing something private like a love letter or a deep dark personal secret? Granted I wasn't at the time but still, what if? I don't think it is fair to do it. I think it is completely utterly wrong and I am really angry, not just disgruntled like I was with my Political Correctness post but absolutely livid. It is morally unjustifiable and to be quite frank: RUDE!
But never fear, there's always a way around these things and I will find it, and then post it here so you can get around it too, because to me, watching my computer as I write an email is right up there with stalking. As far as I know I commtited no crime. I didn't do anything wrong. If the police tried doing that, watching your computer without a worthy reason, they would be fired for corruption and misuse of resources. So why does TAFE get away with it. Simple, they're a Spy Agency.
I agree, it is evil. But unfortunately it happens every where now. The truth is, nothing you do on the Internet is private. Esp. within a DET environment or a workplace of any kind. It’s all fair game and it sucks!
ReplyDeleteIf ever they watch you just open Microsoft Word and type in something like: "Hello, have you checked on your house recently?"
ReplyDeleteGuaranteed to get results.
The worst is when they talk to you. When I was at school, and on a school computer, a little box apeared with writing. It was literally some guys job to monitor what sites we were going on.
ReplyDeleteSee. How does that man justify his existence. I know how we can solve the global economic crisis, fire people who hold pointless jobs like this.
ReplyDeleteIn an interesting side note, those of you who were here last year should recall the old class blog I206. I wrote a blog on internet censorship which can be found here: http://i206.blogspot.com/2008/09/assessment-internet-censorship.html (just paste it in the url)
I said something along the lines of "China has 30 000 Internet Police" and then satirised them with a mildly amusing 'Pong' reference. Is this the future of Australian Internet? A horde of Thought Police who just roam the Net, waiting to be satirised by some moron like me?
