If you've been following the site for a while, you know I'm a huge fan of the Mac application "Self-Control." You put in websites you don't want to access, you turn it on, and they're blocked for up to a day (you choose the time length).
Well, a brilliant reader of the site out in Dubai shared with me some Terminal commands to extend the maximum length of blocking sites up to one month.
Be careful if you do this.
I actually had to take off some of the "mostly bad but occasionally necessary" sites from my blacklist, because I don't want to commit to a month of not using them. But for pure distraction, here you go.
Self-Control is only a Mac OSX application, so this works on Mac. To make it so you can block sites for a month, open "Terminal" and enter these two lines one at a time --
defaults write org.eyebeam.SelfControl BlockLengthInterval -int 1440
defaults write org.eyebeam.SelfControl MaxBlockLength -int 43200I would strongly recommend you edit your blacklist before turning it on, and also do a trial for 4 days or a week before going for the whole month.
