Dammit, work has just started implementing a hardcore firewall policy. This means that many things are not working for me right now. This is annoying. Pretty much the only thing working still is MSN. I've lost IMAP, SMTP (for personal mail - I can authenticate with our work mail server but it still refuses to deliver my mail - stupid config), SSH (no nice connection to the outside world that I can use to get help on technical matters from friends), JABBER (this includes google chat - annoying having just got it all set up), and connections for games (that I only use at lunch time and even then only briefly but still annoying).

Work is still ongoing and I've been told I should get SSH back (I've not got it now and I'll prod tomorrow if I still don't). Once SSH is back I should be able to get most other things running again via that if needs be. Its just all very annoying that we are suddenly going all draconian. :(
