[Xapphire13]

Sorry if there is another thread like this... couldnt be bothered searching lol.

What do you do in your spare time when bored and on the computer?

 

[aleni]

i stay away from the computer, or if i'm bored and i'm at the computer, i'm just browsing websites or watching family guy, the simpsons or south park tv shows that i bought from itunes store. it's sometimes still funny to see the show that i watched long time ago. i even forgot what's the story was.

I tend to have music playing in the background.
I will have the MR Forum Spy and Facebook open in tabs.
I will have Messenger open.
Perhaps I will have iPhoto open and flick through, or do some slight editing.

Start getting agitated or start reading wiki's on random stuff.

 

[magamo]

Most likely turn off the computer. If that's not an option, I'd F5 all forums I frequent or watch some movies/videos on my laptop. Reading random articles on Wikipedia is a good way to kill time too.

 

[bruinsrme]

close the lid, watch TV and take a nap which is short lived due to my parrot insisting that my nap time is her play time.

I don't get bored, I just "do the rounds". Which is boring but I'm kinda used to it now!

Or I'll fire up a game or crack open the sketchbook.

The fact that "pornography" wasn't the first reply makes me believe MR is full of dirty liars



I kid, I kid. I normally surf around Wikipedia. But lately, I actually tend to do some school stuff, reading online histories etc. that some insane soul actually took the time to put online.

Either Wikipedia or Photoshop. One or the other. I've always got ideas for Photoshop, and a pen and notebook on my desk to scribble in.

Something creative. Or, play my guitar and get away from the 'puter altogether.

There are other stuff on the internet other than porn?

There are other stuff on the internet other than porn?

Are we talking about the same internet?

 

[heehee]

Are we talking about the same internet?

Sorry, I mean home internet.

I'm at "work" internet right now.

MR, xkcd.com, photoshop disasters, metro.co.uk/nemi, UT 2004, photoshop old photos,

b3ta.com is always good for half an hour of stupidity.

b3ta.com is always good for half an hour of stupidity.

I second that and add in Photoshop Disasters!

 

[chrmjenkins]

lolcats, wikipedia, youtube, MR forum spy. If I'm really bored with the computer then I go read, watch a movie, play a game.

 

[Abstract]

Masturbate.

 

[BlackSnow]

Solitaire, I'm a addict.

 

[chrmjenkins]

Masturbate.

Your poor computer. You use protection I hope.

 

[Dmac77]

Try to find something on MacRumors, and if I can't I go and hit "Random Article" on Wikipedia. Then I break down and do my homework.

[dmmcintyre3]

MacRumors or Low End Mac.

 

[velocityg4]

If I am just generally bored and decide to use the computer.

Listen to Music
read/post at MacRumors
read TomsHardware (realize none of the news writers graduated middle school)
read dilbert
Watch online TV
Porn

If I am really bored
Start futzing with services, kexts and other important system files on my hackintosh to improve stability. Bork the install. Start cursing. Reinstall OS X. Realize I don't remember the exact steps to get everything working correctly. Reinstall another 2-3 times.

If the computer is boring me I turn it off, then.
watch tv
read a book
tinker with something in the garage
clean
drink

...go and do something else. If I am on the computer it is because I want to be and rarely get bored. Though occasionally to keep from getting bored if I don't feel like doing anything else I will surf wiki or other news sites and such. I also like watching random videos on YouTube.

 

[Melrose]

Masturbate.

Yes, that's only good for short periods of time.

macrumors: mostly lurking, facebook, wikipedia, food blogs!
