Get Some SelfControl!

Wired Magazine’s Epicenter blog posted a link to Steve Lambert’s new and aptly named “SelfControl” application.

bq.SelfControl is an OS X application which blocks access to incoming and/or outgoing mail servers and websites for a predetermined period of time. For example, you could block access to your email, facebook, and twitter for 90 minutes, but still have access to the rest of the web. Once started, it can not be undone by the application or by restarting the computer – you must wait for the timer to run out.

This actually sounds very useful. You can see by the screen shot that the author has a sense of humor.

Download the app by clicking here!

All Small Dog Employees are hereby ordered to use this application!

Note: This app could be a really fun April Fool’s Day weapon…
