[GRLUG] Disable Internet access on your own laptop

[Douglas Rehfeldt]

"Do you guys know of an easily-configurable "Internet blocker" that I could
install on my Linux notebook?  If I could block myself from the internet for
a couple hours at a time, I think I could get a lot more done."

Why not just use the built-in button or switch to disable the wireless card?
Almost every newer laptop has one of these switches.  No prescriptions for
anti-ADD medication required. :)  

Now this may seem harsh to some, but frankly, you just need to learn some
self discipline.  The long term benefit's will be far greater than trying to
"shackle" yourself.  Think of as a life style change compared to trying a
fad diet.   Try working for an hour and then "rewarding" yourself to five
minutes of /.
