Or A Pack of Cards May Come Flying Down Upon You

As many of you lot know, some friends and I invented a word a while back: cyberhypercavicunicucunctatalinkus: the act of jumping down internet rabbit holes, following one link to another, with overtones of procrastination. It's a a common enough pastime; and if you have Greasemonkey installed on Firefox (which I do) and feel like curing yourself (which I don't) I thought I'd inform you of this little tool: Oblomovka's Webolodeon script, which apparently prompts you for an explanation of your aimless surfing every five minutes or prevents you from continuing. (If you stay on one page for three minutes, it resets itself--long posts shall rule the world!) Found via Dave Bacon, also known as the The Quantum Pontiff.
