electronic isolation

[cellio]

Starting tomorrow, I will not be able to access personal email at work. Many web sites are blocked (including all known to offer email); LJ access is unknown. You should assume delays in responding to, or even seeing, email, interesting web sites, national news... If you have my cell-phone number, you can use that to reach me if it's time-sensitive. If you think you should have my cell-phone number and you don't, send me email (which will, err, be delayed, so don't wait until you need it).

Re: Another reason for a laptop

[cellio]

At one point there was talk of giving some of us laptops as secondary machines (for travel, because sometimes you just need another CPU available, to support a different OS, etc), but it didn't happen.

That said, it might be a violation of their policy to connect a company laptop to a non-company network (like in a hotel) without specific permission and (unknown-to-me) precautions. Otherwise there's risk that you'll go off the network, get infected with something, and bring it back onto the company network.
