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?
 
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.

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

I'm usually broowsing other sites and watching TV.
 
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 :eek:

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.
 
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 while I post at MacRumors. :p
 
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:
