Self Control

Man, this is perfect for all you people who spend to much time addicted to the internet. It is basically an application you use to block yourself for a certain amount of time from specified websites (excluding thinkcommon.com)

I’ll let LifeHacker explains it for you:

The app is dead simple to use. Just add any domain to the blacklist (like twitter.com), use the slider to set the time you need to block those distractions (from one minute to twelve hours), and click Start. SelfControl’s timer counts down the time until you can get your next distraction fix, and in the meantime, all attempts to access that site will result in a dead page. SelfControl works in conjunction with any application on your Mac, too, so you can’t just switch browsers and expect to get your fix elsewhere.

  9. hmm? to much time on the internet. that also means people with a blackberry or iphone need to throw them out :) it depends on the context. if you are on your laptop isolated from people, using it as a mode of procrastination, or if you are a workaholic, there is a problem. but yeah, we all need self control!!! good looking out :)
