Self Control App

Anyone use this? Sadly, yes I definitely need something like this. I work on a computer constantly and sites like this are detrimental to my productivity. I compulsively check websites just looking for a way to procrastinate.

Anyway, is this safe for my computer? I don't know exactly what it's doing. The one time I tried it, it worked great, BUT I had an issue opening pdf's from the web. Just wondering if someone more savvy than myself could give me any insight on this. Thanks!

FYI:
"SelfControl is a free and open-source application for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard or later that lets you block your own access to distracting websites, your mail servers, or anything else on the Internet. Just set a period of time to block for, add sites to your blacklist, and click "Start." Until that timer expires, you will be unable to access those sites--even if you restart your computer or delete the application."

We've definitely had some other members that could use this, so don't feel bad. If you're just looking to block sites you could DIY.
