I'm going to have a few day's totally off the net.
Not even going to touch the power button on my pc or ps3 for the matter.
Anyone agree It's good to have breaks off the net.
I'm going to start having just certain day's when i go on the net.
But if I'm pissed I'm ok to carry on as normal Cool Face

I disconnected my internet (and landline) in July 08 and didnt have it put back on until July 09.

I had a great time, the interwebs overrated :Y

Nope, for a year.

I even made a baby in that time.
Well I say I made it, I helped :Y Very Happy

I went out a lot more, I caught up with old friends etc....

I did a lot of shit that both my wife and I used to put off because we were online playing some crap game or something similar, just pulling the plug for a year really made a difference to our lives.

Nope, didnt see the point, if anyone wanted to contact me (who knew me) had my mobile / cell number.

Its actually quite funny / annoying, the number of companys who try and insist on using email / online facilities for billing (eg. gas / electric) and charge you extra to send out a paper bill.

Oh jeez, sometimes there is internet outage here, and my mind just can't fathom the idea... I start Firefox, it tells me there is network error, I close it ... stare blank at the desktop, and of course, what else is there to do, let's browse the net, so I start Firefox. Laughing This can go on for several cycles at a time. Then I start some movie or TV episode, but then think of something and start Firefox... And again cycle repeats. Laughing

Yeah a schedule with 1/2 days a week without the internet is a very good idea indeed. It's a light but effective countermeasure, too bad that is totally inapplicabile in my desperate case of internet addict! I'd need the brute force and a resistant strait-jacket. Laughing

Been there Very Happy

Back in 08' there was a hurricane here, was without power (and consequently internet) for two full weeks. We'd run the generator for a few hours a day, but the comp. might as well have been a fucking rock without net access. Lost count of the amount of times I opened my browser only to be jarringly disappointed. Very Happy
