- came home late last night after leyl shishi learning, chatted with the kids
- totally absent-minded started Computer (after 11pm), read emails, opened browser, entered www.gua.. --- and --- realized that its "ossur time" and that this amusement was an expensive one

- shut down PC
- paid 15$ (today)
- got a big "we thank you for your donation, for your support, and for your partnership... "

, although it was just my knass

So be it...

Good Shabbos everyone

Halevai transgressing this calendar should be our only sin

I finished work that weds night at 1:15am Then spent a few short minutes online on gye

Yes I did notify here, but still feel the right thing to pay my 15 due to gye that I appreciate, as working late isn't really a good enough excuse...

Maybe we should give the money to the IRS so it will hurt more - or better yet, to me :-)

Mark, i'm a little confused (nothing new about that) there are two good night threads with similar names that seem to be used interchangebly. i think i've been missing posts. Is there a difference between the two?

Markz OFFLINE Platinum Boarder Posts: 8203 Karma: 426	The one is for "schedule" the other is to chat about it, as mentioned in the begining of both threads Like the 90 day chart, and separate 90 day chat If I had a choice between the "schedule" and the 90 days, it would be a hard call, cos this calendar may be doing more for me... Thanks and KOT

After all, I was not alone, and in the minute the job was done the computer was shut down immediately. I'm fine, right? Balabos

Stillgoing I encourage original out of the box thinking, and suggest you start your a new "goodday device calendar" and PA will be happy to give you hmmmms when you need approvals. What do you think about this brilliant idea

I think PA might give me more then a hmmm right now, more like a hymm, and not a happy on either. We might need grandmark to make shalom (speaking of which, where Is yesod these days). Mark, i can't do that. It wouldn't work for me. I need to join a program not create one. Can we have a vote?

Stillgoing, before I continue, I just wanted to mention that I truly appreciate that you participate with me on this thread, even your ThankYou's are noticed!

This "good night calendar" currently has 3 regulars, and has a sort of consistent setup, so I'm uncomfortable mixing other things into it

I created a new "SAFE NET" program yesterday here.

That will be open to all other device restriction ideas, eg your idea, or google images that I posted later, or a totally unprotected phone, and many more...

I don't thinks this is for everyone, but for me personally, this 'Good Night' idea has absolutely saved me...

Here's the plan
In this group, logging on any filtered device that has 1% possible access to inappropriate websites / apps, late at night is not practiced.

Choose 10, 10:30 or 11pm. Any important use can usually be done after 5am when we are in a clearer frame of mind.
Any device that is 100% foolproof internet safe e.g. with white lists to exclusive kosher sites (unlike regular filters) is not a problem.

How To Join The Group?
Please go to the LOG Calendar found on this link HERE, and post only:

How long you want to join for
Your 'good night' time
Periodically update your calendar if you want to extend, quit / take a break (cos the knas's are getting too expensive), or are jumping back on.

Write a reason on this Post
If you decide to login after your 'goodnight time' you must first write a valid reason / excuse here on this blog why you feel exception should be granted to logon.

Only extraordinary or emergency situations can be approved - no working overtime / browsing / shopping etc.
If your friend / wife is with you, that can be a valid situation.
If the reason is rejected by the forum group or administrator, we commit to pay $5 knas to GYE.

And if I forget?

If we logon and didn't 'Write a reason', there's a $15 knas to GYE the following day, regardless of whether we slipped to sin in the clutches of the web or not.

Please post ALL other questions and comments regarding the LOG calendar, in this Blog post.

Maybe try it for 7 days...
KOT!!

Hmmmmm (pa here's your cue). I haven't read this in a while. It helps to chazer. Like the part about shopping or working overtime....

balabos Current streak: 96 days OFFLINE Senior Boarder Posts: 78 Karma: 10	Last night Motzei Shabbos it happend again, I realized only after shutdown of the Computer that I've completely forgotten about my good night time promise. This is slowly but surely getting an expensive issue. Maybe certain cases of Shogeg can be excluded?

Here's my thoughts but we need team decision here

How about lower the knas for such instances - to a minimal Amt eg. $5 or less (what you can afford), at least there's some accountability. If this is agreed upon, I wouldn't change the general rule, but you can update that in your "goodnight calendar" post

Or better, and this is what I do - set a reminder to alert you at the goodnight time. You can even have the PC alert you

It's a tough problem. Because on the one hand, we don't want it to be so overwhelming that one just canceles the whole thing, but on the other hand, if that's a time of night that one feels (while in a sober frame of mind) that one shouldn't be online, then the whole point of the calender is to keep one off during that time.
Forgetting isn't as bad as on purpose, but the end result can be the same.
Maybe we can have a communal pot that anyone who wants to, can contribute into, and when a member forgets (by mistake!) the knas comes from that pot. That would relieve the financial strain (in a mistake situation), but still make the person feel guilty about it to try to avoid it to try to avoid it in the future.
