my son's computer is in the living room too.. and he usually gets about one hour of usage a day. try not to let it be too much, haha
recently the MDA cyber wellness was at his school (2 days ago, actually) ... cyber wellness campaign was launched last week. the bus is like a mobile classroom: i went to have a look! kiosks with games and computer screens.
so for the past 2 nights we've been reading through the http://cyberwellness.org.sg together, especially the section on resources, which we both felt was very helpful and interesting. tips on gaming addiction, cyber bullying, copyright, privacy. he even tried playing some of the games 
it's a good resource, just thought i'd share
very excited by this campaign, because it was just what i was worrying about recently, what with kids spending so much time online now ...

RE: How do you control TV or computer time?
agreed ... a weekly schedule would be good
TV time for me is usually family time too .. we'll watch the shows together with my boy 
this website, i think, is very useful and quite relevant=) it is recently launched by MDA, working with TOUCH community services! part of a cyber wellness campaign. http://www.cyberwellness.org.sg/Knowledge -
RE: Child safe internet
MDA just launched a cyber wellness campaign and I think it has some good tips as to how to create a 'child-safe' internet. A lot of resources by TOUCH community services, for parents and kids alike
i found it very helpful! There is also a roving bus traveling around sg to many schools, it was at my son's school a few days ago. There are kiosks in it with games. Very cool 
The website is http://cyberwellness.org.sg -
