It's theoretically a 24/7 business. It's definitely a 7am-9pm business; after that is erratic.
Websense blocks: sex, games, social networking, software, and filesharing sites. Which means any blogs hosted on blog sites (that they've identified; new startup blogsites are visible until they get noticed), and free software downloads, and googledocs.
Can get to google wave, though. I try not to think about it.
We've had some occasional problems where clients send us links & we can't get to the content. I figure we have about six months before we start hitting major hassles with that, and our security people have to reconfigure the websense details or adding a whitelist.
