Hello productivity

contents of /etc/hosts, ready to :w right after I submit this:

127.0.0.1 news.ycombinator.com 127.0.0.1 reddit.com 127.0.0.1 www.reddit.com 127.0.0.1 techmeme.com 127.0.0.1 www.techmeme.com 127.0.0.1 slashdot.org 127.0.0.1 www.slashdot.org 127.0.0.1 theregister.co.uk 127.0.0.1 www.theregister.co.uk 127.0.0.1 news.bbc.co.uk

of course, undoing it is trivial as well, but seeing 'unable to connect' will hopefully take me off auto-pilot and remind me there are better ways to spend my time. See you around YC

I have found pomodoros [1] to be more helpful than hiding hosts. It's easy for me to focus on putting 25 minutes into a task. It's not easy for me to just stop using my browser for anything other than dev/test work.

For when you get back from your self imposed exile: In future, try using 66.135.33.106 (from: http://www.marco.org/244246945)

More user friendly.
