Yes, have you heard of it? It's my version of a Catholic school teacher for law school. It is an add-on for Mozilla that locks you out of websites for periods of time. I first heard of it over at Law and Letters.
Since I installed it I've been able to crack down on web shopping (the 100 day challenge helps), celebrity gossip, and surfing the net. This week I plan on adding even more websites, e-mail, and my feed reader. I know myself well enough to know that the internet is my number one enemy when it comes to procrastination. What I like about Leechblock is that when it's on I can rig it so I can't touch those sites, not even for "emergency" sale situations. This means that if I want to browse Nordstrom online I have to wait until Sunday morning between 8-12 to do so.
This means I can discipline myself during class...maybe. Now if they could lock me out of solitaire...

August 13, 2008 at 1:08 PMNice find. I just added it to my browser as well. Now the trick is actually remembering to use it.- Anonymous said...
August 14, 2008 at 10:15 AMOh my! I had not heard of this. This just might save me a lot of internal struggle. If I can block the immigration forum during class... wow, I mean, that would just be of great assistance. :)
