Put A Nickel On The Drum

I recently ran across Webolodeon, a script that asks you every 5 minutes to give it a reason that you're actually using the Internet.

The idea, of course, is not to make you insane and interrupt your real work, but to ensure that you’re always aware of the task that brought you where you are—that you not allow a legitimate work search to turn into a 4-hour wikipedia party.

Requires Greasemonkey and of course Firefox.

I can't get it to install, actually:

"Your last unconfined act of browsing, then is to the user script page, where you should be able to install it using Tools->Install User Script. (This is all Firefox-only, natch)."

Except that I don't have that option under tools, even after installing GreaseMonkey.

Have you gotten yours to work?

Never mind - GreaseMonkey hadn't installed properly. I guess I had better log off now :-D
