Life

In the first part we created a list of things we want to block on occasion. The point of this part is to make it easy to switch from full access to limited access. Enter, OpenWrt.

The dilemma

This semester I had a handful of exams rather late in the year, weeks after classes ended. Now, the Internets are a pretty interesting place and I find it extremely difficult to not glance at the feed reader and all the other gizmos rather often, when in front of the screen. I saw three possible solutions:

a) Work analog. (Pretty unrealistic, and think of the poor trees…)

b) Force yourself to not get distracted. (Sounds as likely as most New Year's resolutions.)

c) Turn off only the distractions, or at least minimize them.

The Wikipedia article on New Year's Eve sums up the reason for this article quite well:

The Germans spend much money on firecrackers each year.
