Google has recently been making a lot of updates. Most are theme changes and consistency updates to their sites or user interfaces with the differing services offered. Part of this is an early invite I got to Google+ and so far I'm actually somewhat impressed. Most of this is most likely biased, but I do know that I have a history of not trusting Facebook and feeling more at east with Google with my info... even thought the thoroughness of the default profile made for me by Google when joining Goolge+ was a bit unnerving... every city in which I've lived, etc. Overall....

I was able to finally get a proxy going at work to get around the facebook block. Took me a bit of trial and error, but I was able to get this working without an actual proxy server installed anywhere! Just a bit of SSH (with shell access to a remote linux box) and a crafty .pac file and you're on your way...

SSH:
$ ssh -D 9999 [user]@[remote server]
