Journal Journal: What if your firewall blocks realmedia?

Yesterday, I wanted to view a real-media stream off the web. At work, our firewall blocks Real streams...

Eventually I found a neat way round it. Head over to workspot.com, click on the 10-minute no-signup demo, launch mozilla, go to real, download the realplayer8 plugin, fire up a shell and install.

Go the stream URL and open with the newly installed realplayer application. No sound, but job's a goodun - even over the VNC link.

Apart from a font glitch, went pretty smoothly.

What other funky things could you do in 10 minutes ?
