Getting Not Safe For Work content (NSFW) at work without getting noticed
At www.ihaswork.com you can set a front Safe For Work page and a hidden Not Safe For Work one that will be displayed only when the user keeps the mouse pointer over the content of the browser.
It’s a pretty simple service. All of it resides in one page. It’s just based on HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Anybody is free to take the code and to use it anywhere. Although, keeping references to the author (myself) would be much appreciated. Is is released to the public under MIT license.
Why did I do that?
I am pretty tired to see companies that instead of trusting employees, start to block websites like Facebook, LOLCatz, Skype and Messenger protocols, etc…
I strongly think that not trusting your employees is discouraging them significantly, demolishing their enthusiasm to work and to get noticed and recognized for their productivity.
As a team leader I am the one that often sends to the whole team LOLCatz photos, interesting OT articles, EPIC FAIL videos, etc…
And they so the same.
But not because we are unproductive. Just the opposite.
We are very busy everyday, with short timelines and a huge amount of work to do. Spending 5 minutes every hour or two just having a laugh with some NotSafeForWork website is getting rid of (part) of our stress and making us much more productive the moments after.
And, all my team members are adult and mature enough to understand when is time to work and when is time to relax.
In conclusion, I wish all the oppressed employees to get some relaxing time and, indirectly to their employer to get some more productivity out of them – even if maybe they shouldn’t deserve it 
Any ideas for further development? Any constructive criticism?
Just let me know, post a comment, I would be really glad to help
