Help!

What's a good website blocking program? I need to finish up an essay in the next 2 weeks or so, and I need to do it from my own computer, but naturally there are too may distractions! Anybody know of a program that'll let me put a temporary block on all those entertaining, distracting sites for the next 14+ days

I use Antisocial (I'm on a Mac).

http://anti-social.cc/

It lets me block LJ and the other fun places I hang out without blocking the entire internet, so I can still check library catalogs and news and such. It isn't free, but it was only fifteen bucks or so, and you can get a trial version with five free tries.

I believe there are more options for PC, though, so if you aren't on a Mac, you could probably save the fifteen bucks.

Heh, yeah, sadly I am Mac-less. *cuddles PC*. But thanks! It gives me a direction to start looking in. I'll find out if there are PC versions. ;)

Do you have a Mac or a PC? If you have a Mac, SelfControl is phenomenal. I'm seriously about to whip it out on myself because my lack of productivity sitting here with my computer is well past ridiculous, seriously. XP

Yeees, I love SelfControl.

I need that, but for a PC. *scours intrawebz*

[honeylocusttree]

Aww, I'm all PC'd up over here. (Hmm, sounds vaguely creepy...) Oh well. Thanks for the info! <3

I've never tried it but I've heard it works.

Oops, Kalliel beat me to it!

[honeylocusttree]

That's okay, thanks very much! ;)

Thanks! It's actually from a still frame of an episode of Chuck--one of the t-shirts in his closet. I'm prety sure he never actually wears it though. Heh.
