  Today, for the first time, I saw the following link in my referrer box:

  http://172.25.1.27:15871/cgi-bin/afterWorkOptions.cgi?ws-session=2567287792

  From what I have gathered, it seems like some sort of block on my blog not allowing it to be viewed during work hours.

  Can someone explain to me what this is?

  I couldn’t load it. Could it be from your employer? ;-)

  Most likely it was someone using a webmail client on an office intranet. Harmless.

  afterworkoptions showed up in my Copyscape some time ago. It’s a program that enables people to read sites (at work, I suppose) while appearing to be using MS Word.

  It’s a site, rather than a program, but you get my drift. It masks what people are really doing in their cubicles!
