nopeand they've got answers for everything, brother:
www.christiananswers.net/q-eden/sexaddictiontips.html
Stephen Arterburn in his book Every Man's Battle talks about retraining the eyes to 'bounce away' from visual things that stimulate lust in you. For men, this might mean you need to look away as soon as you see a scantily dressed female jogger. Don't fuel your lust. Avert your eyes from temptations, and don't look back.
The same applies to visual temptations on magazines at the grocery store checkout line, or billboards, television programming and commercials. A good habit can be formed in around two weeks. Keep bouncing your gaze away, and remarkable improvement can be noticed rather quickly.
Destroy all pornographic materials in your possession -- magazines, books, videos, and computer files. Make no provision for your flesh (Romans 13:14). If you can't control yourself, then you must then get rid of every possible access to pornographic material in your life (Internet, cable TV, etc.). Stop feeding the fire.
If some friendships cause too much temptation, severe those relationships.

LasermonksNot odd at all. Historically, monks have baked and sold bread, relied on agricultural pursuits, baked and sold fruitcake, produced wine, and of course copied manuscripts to cover their minimal living expenses and help support charitable works.
These are monks of the 21st century and are using the technology we all use and love and profit from as their business endeavor.
I applaud their creativity and entrepreneurial spirit as well as their prices!! (they have excellent prices on ink and computer accessories)
As far as the site being boring, well....as an avid internet consumer I care more about the product, price and customer service than the bells and whistles)...but then again, I am a grownup. :-)
