What do you do all day?
 
So who else sits at a pc all day and has the ability to browse the net all day? What are your favorite sites? What do you do to keep the day intresting?

read a bunch of plans, listen to people bitch, then lift, eat, and go to bed. Every day is exactly the same.

Braineack 10-10-2007 01:46 PM

web manager for an online store, makes it hard not to sit here all day. I have yet to turn my desk so my screen doesn't face my door, but i enjoy java nes games.


I just started building Megasquirts for people in my spare time cause I'm boring and have no life.

cjernigan 10-10-2007 01:46 PM

I purposely leave my laptop at home when i go on trips now(unless i'm in the miata, megasquirt), just so that while i'm on vacation for example I spend time with the g/f instead of on the forum.
We'll be talking on the forum, if there is any delayed response in my voice "Get off the forum now!". Anyway, such is life.

Craigslist, Ebay, virtual stock exchange, facebook a little, homemadeturbo, google finance shit, whatever really. I don't play games or anything so I can't throw any good ones out.

Holy crap that sucks.

messiahx 10-10-2007 01:52 PM

I'm usually in class while on the forum (like right now). I browse leftlanenews.com, streetfire.net, slashdot.org, hardocp.com. I'll probably go to sleep after this class and then rush to do the homework I neglected for tonight after I wake up. Ah, the life of a college student whose miata is back home. I'm considering starting playing Battefield 2 in class.

TurboTim 10-10-2007 01:53 PM

I'm not supposed to be on here while at work. tisk tisk.

I get to design and analyze valvetrain components (cam cores, rocker arms, lifters, belt drives) for race engines, mostly boring american V8 stuff but now and then there's something really cool (recently did some work for a reno air race lycoming). I'll have a shit load of stuff to do and then nothing for a few days.

I browse this, the local miatamob forum, my email accounts, that's about it.

Loki047 10-10-2007 01:54 PM

messiahx you need to get a better major (or stop going to gen eds all together)

Where the heck are you going to school that you have ethernet access in the classrooms? Heck, it wasn't that long ago that a few of us went on an expedition down into the basement to hack into a serial multiplexer and give ourselves network access in the dorm!

messiahx 10-10-2007 01:59 PM


messiahx you need to get a better major
My major's software engineering and I already have a 2 year degree in programming. This is my first semester and I have to take the beginner programming class only because my prior classes were in c++ and .NET and this school likes Java. At least it gives me time to plan what I'm gonna do to the car when I get home.

SamS 10-10-2007 02:01 PM

I usually check out the new posts here, scan craigslist for possible winter cars, check out facebook, and then start paying attention to my lectures. My roommate usually plays flash games online during our classes.

We also have wireless in all classrooms/lounges and ethernet in the dorms. But all that greatness is countered by the fact that the male:female ratio is 9:1. In my current class, it's 20:1.

Same here, except we have 2:1 girls to guys.

xturner 10-10-2007 02:05 PM

I check in here a few times a day. The rest of the time I'm either doing contracts or packaging design. I seem to spend a lot of time trying to help my idiot co-workers make time run backwards.

mazda/nissan 10-10-2007 02:07 PM

yeah i get it wireless on the entire campus (most of the city), but i don't get to use a computer in any of my classes yet so i have to go to the lab before and after class then browse around this place

my gf bitches when i'm on here to, i try to tune her out but then a fight starts :nono: if something major happens i'll just sue philip :bigtu:

Philip 10-10-2007 02:10 PM

:rly: I like the sound of that school. Living in SE Wisconsin, eh? Me too. Actually, Milwaukee. The only school I can think of that comes close to that ratio is Marquette.

I work in Corporate America and manage internal training websites. This forum has definitely saved my sanity once or twice. I do anything and everything besides sitting in front of a computer after 5.

I took Philosophy of Feminism at College of Charleston in '87. I was the only guy in the class but other than the girl who conned me into taking it they were just a bunch of butch lesbians! You wouldn't believe the dirty looks I got from those women. They really hated guys! The only thing I can remember from the class is that we talked about the Captain on Miami Vice coming into the station and telling all the guys to "settle down girls". The feminists really hated that shit.

Hey, I also attended a Gloria Steinem rally when I was at Marshall University in '85. Hmmm, maybe I am a lesbian at heart!

TonyC 10-10-2007 04:31 PM

^ geezus. i took a similar class @ UCLA nearly 10 years ago. needless to say, i didn't get an A.

We had it in '95, but probably not what you'd expect. The ethernet was coax 10base-2 that a couple of us snaked through the ceiling with drops into five rooms (to provide for deathmatch playing of Doom using IPX/SPX) and the wireless consisted of Jordan's packet-radio transciever. Jordan was the only one that actually used it, as none of the rest of us owned "portable" computers. Ethernet access was provided by a 386 running Slackware that connected the end of the Ethernet run to the aforementioned port on the serial mux, that got us into a VAX termserver. With TIA running on one of the 11/780s we had a virtual SLIP connection.

Those were the bad ole' days...

That sounds kinda cool. When I was in machine shop back in HS, we built a rocker arm grinding machine for a company out of California. It was a neat project that took a while to design and build but it was fun.

Sit at a computer. Tell contractors to fix software. Surf here, m.net, Nasioc, fatwallet and many fantasy football/sports sites. Listen to Howard Stern. Workout.
