Ask HN: easy noprocrast loophole

3 pointsnearestneighbor3 comments

There is a frustratingly easy way to circumvent "noprocrast", defeating its purpose. For example, in Firefox, you can use "private browsing" (Shift-Apple-P on a Mac).

Would it be a good idea to track IP addresses to make it a bit harder to work around the noprocrast delay?

If you are that addicted already then you'll probably need to use something like this:

http://visitsteve.com/work/selfcontrol/ - For Mac OS X

http://www1.k9webprotection.com/ - For Windows, designed to block porn but it can block any site you want.

Have fun!

http://www.opendns.com is another way to block sites.

An easier loophole is to go straight to http://news.ycombinator.com/logout. Then you can continue reading.

If you're really struggling, seriously try working on a computer without an internet connection (See http://www.paulgraham.com/distraction.html).
