Cleanzilla
At the risk of surprising Somebody with another mention so soon, I thought I'd mention his Cleanzilla contest as it opens today.
Basically, Somebody over at pornwar.info has had the really quite good idea of a contest to encourage putting open source PC utilities, specifically the Firefox browser, to good use by optimising it for porn-free surfing. How good it is to see someone actually doing something positive about the internet porn blight.
Unfortunately I now zip about coding so I won't be having a stab at it myself, but I can promise any would-be entrants a customer :-)
I am slightly concerned, however, about how the entries will be tested... will Somebody sit at his PC, tirelessly typing in those long-remembered porn urls in the hope that they're blocked, or just randomly google more and more obscure fetishes?
Well, Somebody, I commend your initiative and wish you success, but I hope you've thought about it....

For me, somethig like Cleanzilla would serve the same purpose as any other web filter: I can bypass mine if I really want to, but doing so slows me down and gives my brain a chance to over-rule my lust, and also usually stops me inadvertantly happening across inappropriate websites. As for minors, well... I think I'm going to make a rule to educate my daughter about the evils of Micro$oft as soon as she can use a computer...
