very funny [post](http://www.russellbeattie.com/notebook/20030223.html#155926) by Russel Beattie, which reminds me of myself pretty much..:

_"I was just not going to connect all day - having brought my PC across the room from my DSL connection (without WiFi card) and was working there. But we ate lunch and I plugged my computer back in to juice up the batteries and thought - like an addict - "I'll just connect for a minute. Just to read my mail..." and as you can see I'm now blogging. I may need help. Is there a 12 step program for bloggers? ..._

_..._

_Wait... Am I blogging again instead of being productive? Why, yes I am... I started an outline of ideas for things I want to blog about but don't have time yet. I'll never catch up at this rate... maybe I need to learn to type faster? ..."_
