Addicted to Facebook? Look no further.

[NissanSkylineN1]

Hey guys,

So, I finally admitted to myself that I may be addicted to Facebook and waste time on the internet. So, I Googled on how to stop wasting time on the internet and found this:
http://getcoldturkey.com/

This program blocks most of the internet's time wasting websites (Youtube, FB, Myspace, MSN, etc) and can be customized to block whatever you want.

The good thing is, that its tamper free, and if it detects that you are trying to tamper with it, it extends your time blocked.

I currently have it set until March 7th. I will post a daily report on how I'm doing. I strongly encourage others to join me for the benefit of all of us and our time.

-.- It's only for people who feel they have an addiction to Facebook and want to try and cut down. People in my schol are so addicted to Facebook that today there was some girl on her phone, asking for answers. #WTFFFFFF

I'm so going to put this on a friends computer.

I'm not addicted as in too much use.. I spend too much time refreshing the page and reading stuff.

Ermmm....not really. Just this site.

Any how, what happened to will power these days? Just turn of the blooming computer!

I think it's possible to block whatever site you want, so you could block GTP.

But only if you have something you really need to get done and GTP is constantly distracting you... I would know about this.

 

[W3H5]

If you was really so distracted by this site, say, during exam revision, you could always request a temporary ban.

 

[theotherspongey]

I'm distracted by a computer in general.

Maybe they have a "Ban yourself from the Computer" App

 

[nick09]

I think it's called cutting the power cable Sponge.

 

[W3H5]

Yeah, it's called the "get out side and kick a ball around/ ride a bike/ date a girl and see some sunshine." app.

[insert "I was being sarcastic reply" here]

 

[nick09]

The internet never knows if you were being sarcastic. After all, it's all machines connected together by this "realm" we call the internet.

 

[W3H5]

Then I guess this applies...

 

[theotherspongey]

The internet never knows if you were being sarcastic. After all, it's all machines connected together by this "realm" we call the internet.

But your're a person, not the internet.

 

[nick09]

But your're a person, not the internet.

But you are a person putting input into a emotionless machine which outputs the internet into your face.

 

[theotherspongey]

But my face isn't a computer either.

 

[nick09]

Just give up the argument....

 

[theotherspongey]

Why?

 

[W3H5]

This is going nowhere.

 

[nick09]

Yep. It is going nowhere!

 

[theotherspongey]

Isn't nowhere technically still somewhere?

 

[nick09]

Nowhere is nowhere. Not somewhere.

... thanks for turning this thread off topic... Anyways, anyone want to join me in this?

 

[MarinaDiamandis]

Why?

Shem told you to date a girl, are you dating a girl yet, girl?

Good on anyone who recognises a problem and actively tries to fix it. I don't use social networking because it distracts me from GTP too much.

I wish I could ban you from a computer.

Shem told you to date a girl, are you dating a girl yet, girl?

I was just about to say that.

The only real site I have problems with is GTP, obviously Perhaps it could be a use to me someday, where I'll have to temporarily shut down addictive features to focus on important matters.

What's with you and banning people from places/things?
