New Media Scotland and Burning Bush present 2 new projects for HOST: Luci Eyers - cyberskiving
Dane - PassingTime http://host.mediascot.org Luci Eyers - cyberskiving cyberskiving is a collection of favourite non-work related sites visited by employees during work hours. cyberskiving becomes more difficult as server software becomes increasingly effective at curbing slack-time surfing. cyberskiving is searchable either by topic or occupation. The project is an open, generative system which will develop as cyberskivers submit information on this covert activity. Dane - PassingTime There's never been a better time to have a Panic Attack! Just one of six ways to pass the time until you get to Point B. You can Fidget, generate things to do from our wish list database, try keeping your head off the ground, play a solitaire version of I Spy or see how long you can balance on one foot.
