My exwife called me last night and was wondering if there was a way that you could set up Opera (or Explorer) to limit how much time someone could spend on a web site. I know you can block sites–but I am hoping to just set limits on a site. Of course if my GF finds out about this–she might figure out how to limit my time here on the Straight Dope!
Evidently my daughter has become quite fond of this web site where you have computer animals and you have to interact with them, etc. My 10 year old daughter has shown me the site and she enjoys it and I don’t want to block her from the site entirely. But would like to find a way that you can set a timer or something that limits her time on that site.
I suggested to my ex that she set a timer, etc. And that will work to some extent–but I think if there is a add on program that you set one hour into a timer, and then five minutes before your time is up it notifies you then when the hour is up—poof! Perfect situation. No arguing, no ‘just one more minute’ etc.
so tell me–anyone know of any add on program out there like this?
thanks
