I'm a forum addict. In fact a couple of weeks ago I decided to try Steve's 30 day method, and not read or post on any forums (there are maybe 8-10 I read regularly). Now I'm posting both here and elsewhere, so obivously I failed.

Earlier this year my internet connection broke and I was unable to connect to the net for two weeks. At the time I decided to teach myself object oriented programing and wrote a little game in my free time. I was much more effective than I usually am, and much more focused. I did use forums during this time, but only at an internet cafe, so the usage was much more specific. Usually it was to check my mail, post specific questions concerning OOP or Google OOP tutorials, once done I would go home.

So probably what I should do is cut the cable, hand my wireless router back to my ISP and go offline.

p.s. As a side note....I haven't had a TV for the last 8 or 9 years, and don't miss it. Watch DVD's on my computer though.
