Control Issues

Normally, I'd say that I don't have serious control issues.  Or maybe I just know so many people with worse control issues.  (This is me waving and smiling and not mentioning any names...)

But Wendell and I have decided to add an additional filter to our computer after the 5-year-old and 3-year-old found a surprisingly indecent picture very accidentally.  This filter is called K9 and... I LOVE IT!  Best of all, I love the level of control I have.

I now have all Google images blocked (this is where the offending photo was found), I have all the game sites blocked and I can block any other site at any time I want.  BWAH HAHAHA!  CONTROL!!!

Do you have teenagers?  You can block Facebook.  Then, with your password, you can override it for yourself for a certain amount of time or allow the kid on for, say, 30 minutes, then buh-bye.  When time's up they are kicked off the site.

You can even set the computer to bark every time a blocked site is attempted to be accessed!

And I almost forgot--you can also set time frames that the internet can't be accessed.  I have "Night Guard" to shut things down from midnight to 6:30 AM, but you can shut it down anytime, any day.

I am so in love with it--I would kiss it if I could.  I am seriously having a control high right about now.

That's the same program we use, and the only one we recommend to others. It's the best one!!
