Distractions
Monday, November 3, 2008 at 9:06PM 
I've started using /etc/hosts to send websites that I check reflexively—and then get sucked into—over to a todo list on my localhost web server.
So, for example, if I go to guardian.co.uk I wind up at a page that asks me to please do something constructive instead.
My initial inclination was to use OSX Parental Controls to accomplish this but you can't be both an Admin and a Parental Controllee at the same time... and I get to use vi this way instead of some lame GUI.
I am assured by trustworthy parties that "Fun without the computer" is possible.
