How long on the internet?…...I only take about 3.5 minutes for a self assessment these days!

G'day Landy Smurf,

I do the write up exclusively at home - going to uni is a pain. I usually go looking for a resource which is close at hand at home only to find that I did not bring it with me to uni. With working at home I am learning discipline.

Oh and yes I am currently having a break!

Kind Regards
Lionel

Now this a worry kind of thread

Have no idea how long I spend on the net, I don't watch TV, well very little, around 5 hours per week, so there is your answer

It is working well Lionel, I just knocked over 2 modules and into the 3rd. now dinner time

In the, "there has to be an app for that" catagory, is there something that can block certain sites during pre-determined times of the day?

If there isn't, then this idea is mine, so rack off all you developers

However, if there is, you could block FB & AULRO, between say, 0900 - 1200, & 1300 - 1600. This would give you study blocks to work in, give you your reward so you can take a break, but still leave access to other sites that you might actually need.

I can do it with my modem, which is great when the kiddies seem to want to stay "connected" at all hours of the night

Been done Basil
The boarding houses at my old school used to block access to FB and the like in the boarding houses during the day.

1/3 on Facebook? There's an issue right away. How do I address this diplomatically so as not to insult you, my two teenage boys and the other 500,000,000 (whatever) FB users?

1/4 playing games? I can accept that on the basis that its an outlet, stress relieving or some such. I'm mean.......I'm addicted to Lovett's Soduko and do it every morning.

AULRO...................guilty..............ish. I only read what interests me and ignore all the drama.

Nope. No good. I can't think of a way

"My stats are alarming"..............How does that BCF advert go again?

The extension I got is called time stats. It tells you how long you spend on each website per day/week/month.
My stats so far are alarming.
I have only had it on for a few days and I spend on average 8.5rs a day on the internet browsing.
I spend 1/3 of that on facebook.
I spend 1/4 playing games
I spend twice as much time on AULRO then UNI

I chat a lot on facebook, I dont use a mobile. I also use facebook groups more then my uni website for assignments etc.
But yes it is a problem,unfortunately I have a few people I enjoy talking to quite a bit and fb is the only way to go
