And I thought she was a he!... didn't parse the username properly where it should have been 's/\(anisha\)\(kaul\)/\1 \2/' not '(anis)(hakaul)'. Good thing I haven't known it soon or else I would have made comments in a more careful manner.

Hi Anisha,

As stated before, don't let a computer (or a site for that matter) take control over your life. When the urge arises to go to LQ, just think about other things you like and try to restrain yourself. I know it's hard, but that's the only way to overcome an addiction this strong, by shear will power and mind control. Best of luck, and don't stay away too long

Don't try things like laser therapy as done when trying to quit smoking or patches or stuff like that. It just doesn't work!! Your mind and will is the strongest medicine you can find.

It will be a sad day at LQ when you don't post.

Best of luck!

Kind regards,

Eri

Nope. And I figured it was LQ w/o other threads or reading
your blog. Male intuition ;}

@EricTRA

She already said that the *HIGHLY ADDICTIVE* site isn't LQ.

Eric,

Many thanks to you for the soothing words...You were right, I should not let any website control me. Somehow I feel I don't need to use the router blocking technique anymore now ! It is time for me to pay attention to self improvement rather than LQ !

Thanks again

Hello Anisha,

You're very welcome. I'm glad that you found the force to carry on and take control of your mind .

The best control you can find is your own mind, believe me, I know for a fact that this is the truth.

Kind regards,

Eric

It also seems better to me to just decide not to look at LQ when you don't need to rather than block it. What if there is a good reason to come back?

Also, it's obviously not possible to do something that even root cannot change. Just think.

Why ? Others have suggested the router blocking methods, if you care to read the above posts !

I meant within the computer. If it's an external piece of hardware then sure...

Actually even root can't decrypt the /etc/shadow file with all the passwords...If the password is lost, one can set a new password but can never recover the old one ...

Actually there is a way but not directly and it's not easy.
