What do you do while posting on MacRumors?

[ghall]

So, I was playing video games while posting on MacRumors today, and I wondered: Does anyone else multitask while posting here?

So, what do you do while posting on MacRumors?

[mrkramer]

I watch the forum spy in one tab and do other stuff with my other tabs, right now I am trying to get my G3 to boot from a panther disk but am having problems.

[devilot]

Does anyone else multitask while posting here?Yup.

Massive emails. IMs. PMs. Sometimes in addition to all that, phone and/or Skype. Eat. Drink. Listen to music. Ohhh. Sometimes other tasks, like if I got outta the shower not long ago, I'd likely be lotioning. Or geting dressed. I've even painted (like brush, pigment, and canvas) while between reading and posting on MR. :o

[PlaceofDis]

Work. WoW. IM. Email. Movies. etc.

[iHerzeleid]

E-mail/IM/Music/Sleep.

[irmongoose]

Sex.

Suppose it does only take one hand, got to use the other for browsing/typing etc.

procrastinating

[nickster9224]

check email, listen to music

[SMM]

I am mostly working. If I am engaged in low-mid level concentration work, I have the 'Spy' always open on one screen. I bounce back-and-forth.

However, when designing, I do a high percentage of extreme programming...kind of designing and coding on-the-fly. I do not have a big enough brain to multi-task while doing that.

[siurpeeman]

i browse other websites, post to my blog, IM friends, email, shop, listen to music and watch tv shows. i even play connect four (http://www.kurnik.org/intl/en/connect4/).

[zap2]

Play Video games, listen to music, emails, AIMand browse multiple pages are all things I do when I'm on MR

[sb58]

i play WoW and some handheld games, look at email, online comics, and aim.

[SamIchi]

Hey cool, I never knew about the forum spy feature.

I'm usually broowsing other sites and watching TV.

[irmongoose]

What can I say? I'm good with my hands... in oh so many ways.

[Andrew D.]

I sometimes play guitar, watch TV, or surf the web for more Mac related stuff.

[Veritas&Equitas]

Usually study copious amounts of legalese.

Note: Not advisable...reading case after case, throwing in some statutes and Latin while attempting to read/contribute to Macrumors. Probably why my law school grades are the way they are :o

P.S. For example, I have a Contracts II final tomorrow at 2 p.m., and what the hell am I doing right now? Exactly.

[Silentwave]

I can sum it up in one word....

[mad jew]

I mainly rub cream on my thigh. The left one, if you must know.

[Cassie]

video games/IM/music/convo's on the phone.

[Father Jack]

Sex.

Who says men can't multi-task? ;)

[MACDRIVE]

I'm usually sitting in a La-Z-Boy swivel rocker with my cat sitting on my lap. The PowerBook is sitting on a side table to the right of me; which means I have to type with just my right hand. Right now she is out in the backyard playing with frogs; so I get to have the PowerBook on my lap and use both hands. :p

Sometimes I'll have the TV on mute so the sound doesn't bother me; or if there's something good to watch, I'll have the sound on and then read MR during the commercials. :p

Sometimes I'll have my headphones on listening to SKY.fm (http://sky.fm/) while I post at MacRumors. :p

[iLoveMyMBP]

I listen to music, IM-ing friends, email, post on Macrumors, download music, talk on the phone, watch movies and burn CD's. Thank god for expose!!!!:apple: :apple: :apple:

[Deepdale]

iTunes and look at other websites.

[Jasonbot]

I am so dedicated to macrumors that I do not multitask when macrumoring, multitasking would be profound!

[sushi]

I think that you might have hit the nail on the head! ;)

[bartelby]

I'm currently watching MotoGP...

[MACDRIVE]

Sometimes other tasks, like if I got outta the shower not long ago, I'd likely be lotioning. Or geting dressed.


Hell. . . I don't even need to visit porn sites when there's stuff like that right here at MacRumors. :eek:

[bartelby]

I'd likely be lotioning. Or geting dressed.:o

How did I miss this bit earlier!?:eek:

TPINW/OP

[Deepdale]

How did I miss this bit earlier!?:eek:

It was ever so safely nestled between other activities such as eating, drinking and painting. The things we miss when we scan a post quickly.

[Telp]

IM, Emails, Phone, TV, HW, surfin the web. The norm.

[Max Payne]

Surfing the net, doing some work and chatting with friends.

[nickster9224]

Could someone please explain the forum spy?

[iSaint]

Watch TV, grade papers, yell at the kids/dog/cats/wife.

[miniConvert]

I'm a guy, so I can't multitask, but I do find myself frowning at the contributions from some of the forums pseudonyms :)

[dartzorichalcos]

I listen to music and play some online games.

[xsedrinam]

I usually start with Post Reply, then sometimes, I'll hit Quote, then I usually type words. I end up by hitting Submit Reply. It works pretty well, but I suspect I'm on a lot of Ignore lists. It hurts, at first, but then one adapts.

[iBookG4user]

Yes, I post on 2 other forums, check my livejournal and DeviantArt, also check Digg, and right now I'm also watching a movie. All that along with checking my email.

[Telp]

Can't forget engadget and Gizmodo.

[hulugu]

Attempting in incorporate Derrida's Specters of Marx with the linguistic studies of Noam Chomsky.

Pretentious. Me. Nah!


Or drinking. Lots of drinking. :D

[hulugu]

...Ohhh. Sometimes other tasks, like if I got outta the shower not long ago, I'd likely be lotioning. Or geting dressed...

:eek:


...

Um...what the hell was I talking about?

[flyfish29]

I'm a guy, so I can't multitask,:)


I don't understand...guys are great at multitasking...I can "listen" to what my wife is saying AND watch the Chiefs or Red Sox play AND post on MacRumors Forums!!!

(disclaimer: I have severe ADHD so maybe that helps me multitask here!)

Oh yeah, I use MacRumors to severly procrastinate!!!:D

ROFL!

I usually listen to music or watch TV; nothing special.

...be careful with the spy, though, it can be a time drain. I routinely lose hours just waiting for a thread to pop-up that I can respond to :)

It happens to me too, but it doesn't waste quite as much time as watching the live updates of Apple events.:)

[Teh Don Ditty]

Procrastination. Watching TV.

And as of right now writing papers. It's ok though, I have a Bachelors in Management Bull S***. :D

[nickster9224]

In other words use the spy wisely. LOL

[iMacZealot]

I do what I like to call my "Rounds".... they all open in nice little tabs :) :
>MR
>Apple
>AppleInsider
>Engadget Mobile
>PhoneScoop
>T-Mobile
>SpoilerFix

I don't care for all those mobile phone sites as I once did...

I also listen to music, e-mail, procrastinate homework (like right now), TV, and many, many other things.

[juanster]

[Cindynjgirl79]

Watching some crappy TV and chatting with someone.

[Tom B.]

Eating, drinking, playing Pokemon Diamond or some other game, listening to music, watching TV, talking to friends on Adium, watching a YouTube video, stroking my cat, thinking of an excuse for my teacher tomorrow morning, and lots more...
