Suggestions for internet-blocking software for OS X 10.8 wanted; alternatives to Freedom and Anti Social.
In trying to manage my metafilter and other internet addiction, I was using Freedom and Anti Social. Both seem not to work under 10.8: I can still access "blocked" sites. Any other suggestions? I like the "timed" aspect of the blocking software, rather than a more permanent block.

Leechblock is a Firefox plugin. I haven't used it on 10.8 myself but it might be worth a shot. It does a good job with timing your internet usage.

Self Control is no good once you realize that you can bypass it by running down the timer by manually setting the computer clock forward.
