Today: 04:40 (The End)

Well, all good things have to come to an end. My initial goals were fulfilled: I have cut 2:30-3 hours from my daily Web surfing. That means more sleep and things are getting better in school. Wow! It took less than a month and a half to get this far!

I'm sure that, from now on, I control my surfing needs and keep my usage to an acceptable level. So, the usefulness of this Diary as a way to discipline myself is diminished but I hope my example helps other web-addicts to cure themselves.

Without further ado, I bid you goodbye!

Going for a sub-500 score. Horray!

Today: 05:46

After the problems in the last few days, I finally catched on with my favorite web sites :)

Today: 07:09

Sorry for not updating in the last few days. My ISP has bungled a simple bandwidth upgrade and my connection was on and off for the last two and a half days. How irritating!

Wednesday, November 22, 2006

Today: 05:05

Almost a sub-500 day... will try again tomorrow :D

The new Live Bookmarks feature in FF 2.0 is very cool. And saves me time :D

Sunday, November 19, 2006

Today: 05:58

That was close... another sub-600 day :D

Today: 05:45

One month after I started my web-diet, I "lost" 2:30-3 hours each day! It really works! Maybe I can reach the 4-hours score after just one more month.

Wow! Another record :D Found another great time-saver: LinkWad - open/save multiple sites at once.

Wednesday, November 15, 2006

Today: 05:39

Wow! My best score so far <pat on the back>. Keep it up :)

Today: 06:05 (Happy Birthday, WWW!)

I just read the World Wide Web celebrates today the 16th Birthday. For my generation, it's strange to think there's was a time where the WWW didn't exist.

I spent more than an hour chatting in Skype, so this could easily been another sub-600 day.

Sunday, November 12, 2006

Today: 05:49

Horray! I found a extension that saved me some time: Bookmarks LinkChecker. Reccomended!

Saturday, November 11, 2006

Today: 06:45

Will make a better score tomorrow. Promise :-)

Today: 06:09 (Hello?)

Boy, that Skype conference call feature is neat! Talking to 5 other guys and gals at the same time is almost as good as being there... but without having to dress properly ;)

Thursday, November 09, 2006

Today: 05:58

Another under-600 day, yeah!

Wednesday, November 08, 2006

Today: 06:19

After 3 weeks, my daily Web usage dropped 2 hours :) Still, not good enough, my aim is 4 hours.

Tuesday, November 07, 2006

Today: 05:50

Gosh, I'm really sleepy, bzzzzz.....

Monday, November 06, 2006

Today: 07:19

Sunday, November 05, 2006

Today: 07:12

Nod bad considering I had a lot to catch up...

Saturday, November 04, 2006

Today: 04:18 (Hic!)

Had a spam deluge today :( I finally switched to Thunderbird, maybe it can keep most of the spam at bay.

Ah, could've beaten the big 600 mark today if chad hadn't caught me in AIM.

Argh! I was starting to get "the shakes", back to my usual routine. Tomorrow will be much better!

Friday, October 27, 2006

Today I installed the new Firefox 2.0. Looking good!

Thursday, October 26, 2006

Today: 06:59

Not bad at all. I was determined not to reach 7 hours and I made it!

Wednesday, October 25, 2006

Today: 06:10

Horray! Unfortunately, my low score today is due to some schoolwork so it doesn't count.

Tuesday, October 24, 2006

Today: 07:09 (Hi, Mom!)

My mother found out about this blog. Now, then, who was the snitch?! ;)

Monday, October 23, 2006

Things got a little bit better today.

Sunday, October 22, 2006

Saturday, October 21, 2006

Could be much better if I didn't found out VideoSift...

Friday, October 20, 2006

Today: 07:58

A little better than yesterday but there's a looong way to go.

Today: 08:45

Well, this is it. My first timed web surfing. This was an average day, will try to make better in the next few days.

I, everyone! I'm a Web Junkie

I admit it! My Web addiction is driving me nuts. I don't sleep well, my friends are complaining and my school grades aren't what they used to be. This will will keep track of my progress of getting rid of this problem. The values posted are from TimeTracker. Wish me luck!
