I still haven’t watched any telly. I have watched a few films when I got the chance during a “sane break” and maybe an episode or two of Top Gear on BBC iPlayer while I’m at work but, all in all, I haven’t had time to watch any TV for over 4 months.
Why?
Bloody ComLuv thats why!
I paid good money for a professional programmer and designer make the site and backend API for me and I got more than what I asked for, it was worth every penny, the code was good, the design was good and it worked! Typically for me though, as soon as I got everything.. I wanted it different.
Now, rather than go through the whole process of detailing what I wanted and to-ing and fro-ing with email to the developers (and all that money stuff), I sat down and rewrote it all. API, Backend, Theme and the rest. OMG, I didn’t realize it would be so time consuming! Almost every spare hour has been spent in front of my (brand new!) PC coding. I don’t pretend that my code is as hardcore as Ron’s or my database queries are as clever but, IT’S ALL MINE! I can honestly say, every bit of code and themeness was made with my own fair hands (and own fair eyes on other peoples own fair code/templates) 
I could have had it done in a few days if I’d kept it simple, but, once one thing was done – I wanted another thing to go with it. This continued on and on until at last, today, I think I’m just about ready to put the newness on to ComLuv. So that’s the plan for the end of the week, possibly Saturday morning when the intertubes are empty.
Maybe then I can start on some ‘paid’ work…… LoL , the paid work. hah!
What can you do if you stop watching TV for a little while? a frackin lot, that’s what.

Yea I could probably get the same thing done if I didn’t watch TV, but I simply must!! Good luck to you and ComLuv!!!

Congrats on your adventure! I well-know the satisfaction of simply just doing things myself – you get exactly what you require and can easily change whatever is needed.
Good job!

Oh, yeah… TV is evil. It takes up all your time and gives nothing instead. And though you watch TV and do nothing else, it seems that there is completely no time for anything else. The moment you stop watching TV you find out that there are 24h in a day and you feel bored it you do not fill them with some activity. When I stopped watching TV I got so many friends back, I visited Louvre (I dreamed about it for the last 2 years), I spent more time at work and finally got a promotion so now I make almost twice as much as before!
#3Your example is very impressive as well! Good job!

Ahh the opiate of the masses at it has often been referred to as. TV is such a time drain but it is good to sometimes just to switch off, although I prefer film rather than TV programming.

I find that if I don’t watch TV I get so much more work done. That is why the TV is in the other room!

There is a reason they call it the electronic income reducing machine. Imagine what our pets must think as we sit there for hours on end watching a box. LOL don’t get me wrong I do enjoy movies but I have not watched news in years and I am much happier for it.
Cheers

I’ve stopped watching most TV and working instead, but seem to end up reading other people’s blogs, and not getting any work done either. I don’t know which is worse!
