as i spend most of my time outside home, when i return at night many times i spend lots of time burning the stuff i downloaded, and adding new torrents.
As of this friday i will start working as a cocktail barman many nights a week, i guess i'll have to find a way to control my pc remotely via my PDA. I'm already working on that.

yeah, i'm addicted.

lol thats sweet man

You just need 5 steps:

Step 1: Recognize the problem: do you check email incessantly when it is not entirely necessary? Do you go back to the same websites again and again? How many hours a day do you spend surfing the web?

Step 2: Recognize the reasons. The Internet is always available and cheaper than alcohol addiction, and legal unlike drug addiction. It offers escape just like drugs and alcohol. Once you realize these reasons, you can pinpoint Internet addiction as a real problem and not something to be scoffed at as not being a “real” addiction.

Step 3: Cut down on Internet use. This is, of course, easier said than done. You can’t stop checking email any more than you can stop checking the mail box. You can, however, stop checking it with the same frequency. Set the maximum amount you use the computer a day. This applies to chat rooms, games, online gambling, social networking sites (Myspace), and other sites that take up your time.

Step 4: Take walks, go out to eat, leave your office or home—i.e. get away from the computer. Breaking away for a few hours can help clear the head. If you have wifi, don’t take the computer with you.

Step 5: Start a new hobby, read a book, play games with a friend, play sports. Try to find offline activities that fill up your time.
