Time for a significant change…

24th December 2008CE

The following weblog was originally posted on DieselDragon’s Website, and has been restored from backup. My apologies for any bad formatting, code errors or broken links that may exist as a result of conversion to this weblog. 🙂


This is just a quick announcement to say that after today I’ll be staying off of the internet for a while as I shall no longer have a usable computer or internet connection at home. :-O

The main reason for this is that I’ve found computing (With or without an internet connection) to be something of a very destructive addiction for me, and – Despite several previous attempts to curtail my PC/net usage – No solution seems to have worked for me yet. 😦
So to try and turn things around a little and get my standard of life back up to something like it was a few years ago, I’m shifting all of my computer equipment off-site for a month or two to see if having no computer here (Although I may still use libraries and web cafes) will benefit me as much as I think it will! 🙂

Hopefully, going for “cold turkey” (Rofl!) over the Christmas and New Year period may get me out of my age old habit of spending days at a time in front of the PC, get me back into the habit of walking about 15-30 miles per day as I used to, might allow me to restore my existance back to the much stronger and better one that it was about seven years ago, and hopefully might unfetter my mind from all of the internet-related matters that I keep thinking about. 🙂
Obviously this will mean that weblog, site and content updates to this site will become fewer and fewer in number as time goes on (Possibly even ceasing completely) as a direct result of this, but I’m hoping that everyone who knows me can understand that I’m trying to do this to restore my standard of life to something much better than it is, and for my own general good. 😎

So…Farewell for now, a merry Yule/Xmas unto ye all, and a Happy New Year too! >:-)
And I might see ye all again once Hampshire Libararies re-open for 2009CE! 🙂
