So if you do want to try this, make sure you block all possible ways you can access the sites (various browsers, various VMs). Kind of a pain.

You were successful at preventing yourself from browsing from your main machine, but fired up a a virtual machine to circumvent yourself?
I feel at some point there must be a balance. I view HN as a way for me to "sharpen the saw" as they say. This is precisely why I've stopped going to those "other" social bookmarking sites. Too much distraction, not enough substance.
