How do you spend your time on the computer?

(1/11) > >>

zridling:
Like some, I spend my entire day typing, pointing, and clicking (I work with exhaustive database files and it sux), and when I get home I'm ready to be entertained or learn something. How do you spend your time at the computer? Here are some common online activities:

* Gaming
* Blogging (reading/writing/posting in forums)
* Social activities (chat, myspace, findbook, second life)
* Porn (gets my vote)
* Multimedia (watching movies, making movies, photography, graphics)
* Usenet/P2P/BitTorrent (sharing)
* Programming (really?)
* Writing the next great novel
* Learning something/anything (Wikipedia, or any educational source)
* Shopping (would get my vote if I had the €€€)
* Money matters (banking, stocks, or what the rich do with it all)
* Sports, gambling, politics, etc.
What else?

Interesting topic!

I mostly

* listen to music from online radios (no more music mp3s)
* listen to my own mp3-recordings of a FM radio station (that I let Total Recorder record automatically for me: https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=1560.0) that I like; I listen to "just people talking" recordings at >200% the original speed with Pacemaker: https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=3198.0
* plan things to do in the future with RememberTheMilk: https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=5584.0
* use AutoHotkey (https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=1167.0) to spend less time on repetitive PC tasks
* read websites and PDF documents that I find online
* help others in forums and IRC channels
* order tons of great books (https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=6892.0) to continually grow (I read them while listening to music)
* keep track of birthdays
* keep in touch with friends by using emails and IM messages (using Miranda: https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=1201.0
* watch movies after making sure I won't totally waste 2 hours at http://akas.imdb.com/
* write down interesting dreams when I remember them in the morning
* write down every single good idea that I have
* backup my most important files (not often enough)
