mesure radical
Content Barrier X. Had to install this software in my son's computer, oh well -- trying out its latest demo version first and I'd say, it's been working great. We have a month trial and am sure already that am gonna buy this.
About three years ago, I was telling Sébastien that I won't allow Miko to have his own ordinateur in his room (well, till he's eighteen). It's because I was afraid he'd visit those 'inappropriate' sites. Then last year, just before Christmas, he kinda insisted that since Miko always needs the internet to do some research, he thought that 'twas about time getting him his own computer. Oh, I wasn't really so keen on the idea at first. but then I told Miko that I would be monitoring his access from time to time, that he's got to be careful on the www. He said, "just trust me".
So that's it. He had his computer with internet access in his room as a Christmas present. But I told him that it's 'limited', meaning, just like with his Playstation -- not to be used on weekdays. So, chatting with his friends or simply surfing the net can only be done on weekends. And if he really needs the net for his research, he can put his computer on à condition that he'll leave his door open. Voilà!
Yesterday afternoon, Clems asked if she could play in Miko's room. I said okay and that I'd stay with her. I put the computer on (we just received a brochure of a campsite in the north of France and I wanted to check on its site) and out of curiosity, I looked at the historique section of his Firefox browser. He's apparently been visiting a site called humourr.com, there I clicked on it and what did I see? Les saletés! So, right away, I looked for a filter that works for Mac and found this one, installed it and it works à merveille!
And Miko? How did he react when asked about the betise he did? Well, he said he's sorry and that the URL was given by Séb's brother. Ha! Le cochon!
