luckyshirt: Now this is happening. I just started using this (free) app yesterday. It’s called “Self Control”, and it is all business. Once activated, I can’t access these domains no matter what. Even restarting doesn’t work. How did it come to this? I love this program, though I hate that I have to use it. Give me a computer and no net access and you’ll see what productivity really is. That’s why I fear wifi on airplanes. That’s my final bastion of forced disconnectivity. EDIT: There’s another program called Freedom which shuts off ALL network for a time you specify.  Pretty heavy-handed, but if it’s something you need, go for it.
