Noticed earlier that some of you cannot view this forum from work as your work site has blocked this, or other forums. We've even lost a mod for this reason.

So, my question is how many of you post at home, or at work. I am lucky enough where Macnn Forums are not blocked for me [knock on wood] at work. Although, many linked images are blocked for me as the site they are coming from is not allowed at work.

Home at the minute, a small desk under the stairs with my iBook on it.

I sometimes post from work. I take my lunch at my desk so I can get my 'NN fix.

What if all four options apply at one point in time or another?

The real question is, how many people post from their bathroom at home? Isn't that why wireless networking was invented?

While I have tried to post several times, I have been unsuccessful thus far (some type of server issue between here and the States). Maybe this one will actually go through. I live at work for months at a time so I guess now I am posting at my home away from home. Here's to successful future posts...

Home.

From my new work place I can view 'NN, but posting in public forums is a big no-no there.

Always at home. Feel very close to this place.

Posting right now from a Coffee house called 'Suburb' in Covent Garden, London. Usually post from home, and sometimes the bar I work in (wireless internet).

Mostly I surf from home, but since I get on campus early (traffic gets stupid pretty early, and parking is also much easier before most students bother to wake up), I often surf a while before preparing for my first class. Either way, no limits on what sites I can surf to-at least none that I've come across on campus.

Surfing at work? I remember "doing research" at work... Surfing is a waste of time, but "doing research" is productive work.
