hello ~petpave

Same here on the less time online comment. I am going through online and unsubscribing from a couple premium services, and also re-subscribing annually to others that actually serve a utility in my day-to-day online activities. I spend a lot of the time in front of my TV as of late, and less time online, but even then, I will spend hours in front of the CLI in IRC chat (which is "online"), so.... not as much time away as I would have hoped.

Good to see ya around. Have a good one! :)

I have been reading Cal Newport blog about Digital minimalism, also his book..i agree...i tried...many times, but worked for some time until I was back to...online

It is about will, discipline, habits, deeper change of values, interests...

I even tried dumb phones twice, but after 7 months i realized this is not so convenient for many daily things...
