Jon's Plucky config

This page describes some aspects of the configuration used in real life by by Jon, the original developer of Plucky.

For more real-life examples, see also family, homeschoolers.

import classic

Jon is not a wimp. He imports the classic configuration, as it is the way Plucky was originally intended to be used. As strange as this may sound, he actually prefers to not see images on much of the web.

low delay, most of the time

At this point in his life, Jon does not need a large delay to maintain self-control. He uses a zero delay the majority of the time.

Jon has found YouTube to be a time suck. He uses the classic setup, so YouTube has no videos by default, but he can allow individual videos at will. He uses a delay pattern to specify a 1 hour delay to discourage spending time on YouTube videos that he does not plan ahead to watch.
