What is "accountability software" you ask? Well basically it is a program the "records" everything I do on the internet and sends report emails to the email address of choice (Being my Mentor/accountability partner), before this my dad would get the emails because I shared our family laptop with, you guessed it, the family. But as this is my own computer and I could move out at any time I thought it would be prudent to have someone who I know will kick my butt to receive the emails. Not that my parents would not kick my butt if it needed major butt kicking...
Why do I need this software installed you may ask- well you remember reading my testimony, correct? I have had some bad addictions on the internet and this software, although it cannot do anything to block me from the sites I used to frequent, the fact that I know it is there and will send an email to my dad or accountability partner about where I was on my online session keeps me from going to those sites, and if I do then obviously I will bear a consequence that either my parents or Mentor will put on me. And I respect that authority, in fact I am glad it is over me in that way!
In other news, my new computer is very awesome and I love it! I still have yet to rip my entire music library to it and to install my games (As well as my accountability software) and then I will be good- well okay I also have to get programs like Microsoft Word and etc. I look forward to the long life of this computer!
Tomorrow is Home-Grown Therapy, so stay tuned and be expecting it! See you later!
