[clug-talk] INTERNET BLOCKING

Tue May 5 12:13:23 PDT 2009

I looked at the mozilla idea and did some reading up and it would seem that
its not quite ready for that yet. And as for my 3 daughters, they as of yet
wouldn't know how to go around the browser.

 What is the deal with the dns thing. Keep in mind that im like cornel
klink.  I KNOW NOTHING!!

I can record with my laptop, I have an external mike that could be used.

Possibly, I am not sure what the bank account is at these days, but I am
pretty sure that some fund raising would be required.

I have a camera and tripod that could be used.  I will see if I can get
them back for Wednesday.  After that it is pretty easy to post to the
website with a flash player (I know it is evil, but the code is open
source at least).

I had to do some shopping around for one of these in my last job so I 
can offer some insights if you like.  It was being used for board 
meetings & the price was actually pretty reasonable for the unit they 
did get.

As an alternative, could we not jut get an mp3 player with recordability 
on it?  I would imagine they would be pretty inexpensive for a one or 
two GB unit.

More questions.  How can I only allow certain websites to be browsed on my
kids laptop. It has teen puppy loaded on it. I looked on the 3 browsers on
it and cant figure it out. Is there a simple way??

I believe that you can control DNS lookups if you register an account with
OpenDNS, that way you could prevent lookups outside the allowable
web-space.

I assume that your son is not yet skill enough to defeat this....

Another way could be setting up dansguardian locally, but that's not the 
easiest way of going about it.

A Firefox add-on is a possibility.  Here is one, but I have not tried it.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5881

Obviously, if your kid wants to avoid it, they will just open up
another internet browser... boy, that takes me back.
