My medical condition finally got the best of me.

Kinekto Lol, Oprah is like santa, she sees you when your sleeping and knows when your awake. Im pretty sure 50% of people don't actually like Oprah they just like her free shit xD. If not her then Ellen Degeneres.

As for why the hospital blocks GBATemp its because its fun and last time i checked the hospital isnt fun.

Then it probably blocks 70% of the internet.

PS: I mean porn.

Edit: Kinekto, you should totally ask one of the doctors if I'm right.

I don't know why the hospital cafe blocks GBATemp among many other perfectly fine websites, but I'm just glad they don't block AIM.com's express thing.

Are you using the hospital's computers or just their Wi-Fi? If you're using a Windows laptop you could use UltraSurf to get around their firewall.

Great suggestion, but Kinekto may not be able to access the UltraSurf site in the first place.... if they are blocking everything else.

Download to laptop at home, or put it on a flash drive after downloading :3
Most cafés I've used allow USB flash drives and don't block executables [that don't alert any installed AV, of course].

It's a download, but I've already tried all the proxy servers I know of (Xuphor taught me about them long ago), and all of them were blocked.
I'm pretty sure that instead of a "Block porn.orgy, block piratewebsite.pirate, block hardcoremidgets.orgy" system, they use a reverse of that. The probably are: "Allow Google.com, allow AIM.com, allow yahoo.com", and every website not listed is automatically blocked.

That's extremely good news! Now let us hope that her body will adjust and accept the new lungs. Also: signed the card.

Yuck... I've been on the receiving end of restricted internet browsing as well, but I don't know anything, really when it comes to getting around it besides proxies and the UltraSurf service. The other thing, though, is if you manage to get a good phone signal and have internet hotspotting - then there's clearly unrestricted access. I forget about that sometimes XD

Well, what kind of message pops up when you try to access a blocked site? If it gives a reason such as "blocked for XX [category]" then it should just be a simple blacklist.

google the words: (insert todays date here) + proxy. Thats what i used to do at school. Website filter blacklists are updated about weekly or monthly so if you look up one created today it wont be on the list. trust me i did this at school hundreds of times so i should know. If you want i can find one right now and send you the link (but try not to do anything important on them as they have shitty protection and may have spyware/malware.

Most schools have a popular smart filter that reads the source code of a website first and determines whether or not it's a proxy, the ones that slipped through at my school a while back worked on the main page, then got blocked upon trying to actually access another website. An updated tunnel such as UltraSurf should work on all blacklists as long as it's run once on an unfiltered network, like at home.

I think the link for the card should be on the front page, its a really great idea.

 

[Joe88]

Did you try Tor? https://www.torproject.org/
this is assuming you have usb access

I agree, but...... I'm not 100% sure Xuphor would like it herself. Don't know, just seems like too much publicity on her medical condition, and she's wanting to avoid big publicity about it.
Then again, if it were to actually happen, I think (don't know, but I think) she'd like it.

Saturosias - The generic "Opera cannot load this website" message you get when there's no internet period. Hardcore block apparently, browsers literally get no signal period when trying to connect to a blocked website.
Vengenceonu - Don't bother. I'm 99% sure they use an "allow site" security system, which means that everything would be blocked that isn't explicitly on their allowed list. Literally 100% of the things I've googled were blocked when I tried to open them.
Xarsah16 - The whole area has a cell phone signal jammer in it. They don't want people getting phone calls during vital times. I would give everyone her room land-line phone number, but that's definitely something I'd have to OK with her before doing.
Joe88 -

I am unable to put what I'm trying to say to Joe in the same line because of the annoying as hell glitch on GBATemp. So I'll put it here: I have the Ghostery widget for Opera. Does the exact same thing, and is 100% unrelated to a business's internet' security. Wouldn't do literally anything.

 

[Saturosias]

Kinekto If you know another language, since the filter allows Google it's possible the hospital hasn't blocked Google Translate for websites. Or you might be able to do something like "from Chinese to English" and it could display normally.

Sorry, instantly reminded me of that song, she's always been a metal fan. I was just on her PSN account buying some more Rock Band 3 songs for her and that song, ironically, was one of them.

All signs are good shell be fine so far. So good in fact that I came back home. I'll be going back up there again tomorrow when I get a call she's out of ICU or another emergency call. It'll be nice to actually get some sleep in my bed for a change.
I have very high hopes and feelings that she'll be fine. Just got to wait until she's not in ICU anymore, and then I'll be back up there. They'll call me the minute she'll move out of ICU, night or day. Can't say I know if I'll be awake when they call, but I told them to leave a detailed message in any case if I don't answer it. They'll, as usual, also call if something else really bad happens. That being said, I'll stick around for a little longer, then I'm going to sleep for probably 15 hours

Thanks so much to you two for helping me update everyone. I don't know why the hospital cafe blocks GBATemp among many other perfectly fine websites, but I'm just glad they don't block AIM.com's express thing.


Also, Vengenceonu , I wouldn't do that. She's never been a fan of Oprah

Tell her ShadowSoldier told her to hurry up and kick this thing's ass so she can get back on PSN and tell me more tips for Ni No Kuni lol. Seriously, she's the only one who's online at the time I am.

"I finally got the best of my medical condition."

Anyway, I hope that all goes well in the next 48 hours~

+1 for this. Because if the shoe were on the other foot, Xuphor would gladly back this notion. Also, welcome back.

 

[DCG]

I don't know if it is a wise thing to post it on the FP... Because now it isn't that widely known, so there are no tr..l's (don't want to lure them her with the word if one were too search for it...) etc.
If it were to be on the FP you could expect at least a couple of them trying to ruin it...
And it could potentially spark the media -.-"

So, no, keep it in here imo.

 

[WhiteMaze]

First of all, why da hell didn't I get any notifications for the last few days?? I didn't even know she made it all right through the surgery

Second of all, please have this:



I have been holding that back until the first brink of good news regarding Xuphor's health condition.

Thank god.
