Shouldn't you be doing something Awesome?

Well of course you should, and now you can:

$ awesome-time start
Start doing awesome.

Everybody has their limits:

$ awesome-time stop
Stop doing awesome.

Installation

You can't yet. Readme Driven Development for the win.

What does it do?

It makes you productive, by limiting the sites you can go to in your time of Awesome.

How do I block a site for my period of Awesome?

$ awesome-time add-site time-wasting-site.com time-wasting-site2.com

How does it work?

shouldnt-you-be-doing-something-awesome SSH you into your own machine (instead of changing /etc/hosts which would require root access). All the blocked sites are in ~/.ssh/config.block which temporarily replaces ~/.ssh/config, whenever you should be doing something Awesome. ~/.ssh/config allows you to modify hostnames; we can redirect time-wasting-site.com to 127.0.0.1:1337. At 127.0.1:1337 is a simple Sinatra application telling you to stop wasting your time, and start being awesome. To run the Sinatra application smoothly in the background, and for the overall awesome: It's handled as a deamon.

Isn't this useless?

If you can handle not going to time-wasting sites without something like this, sure.

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

• Fork the project.
• Make your feature addition or bug fix.
• Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
