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!

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!

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.

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.

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 ;)

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

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!
