4am boards club

Senor_Fudge

Just a thought there guys but what kind of people are on boards at 4am in the morning.
Who's typing at this exclusive club into the wee hours and beyond?
so why doesn't everyone give a brief description of who they are and why aren't they in bed yet ?

Well i have 2 great excuses
Im unemployed and the net's addictive

PrecariousNuts

Sucks with the forums dying at 3:00-3:15 ish.

I don't sleep

Cake Fiend

I'm clearing up some work I should have had finished ages ago.
The reason I'm pulling an all-nighter is because I got up at 4pm today, and now I'm trying to plan my sleep pattern to get up early Saturday morning.

Puck

Hello, my name is Puck and I'm an insomniac.

Sure but the majority of people who read this thread today are going to find it completely irrelevant.

Wait. Why am I here?

Who cares?

This is After Hours, not Civilized Hours.

honru

We should keep this going so. Everyday at 4AM, we'll dig this up.

Magic Monkey

An irrelevant thread on After Hours, really? :rolleyes:

Bluehair

Opps sorry, took a break from surfing to watch Garak torture Odo on DS9.

Me unemployed also (for the last two weeks)

Bit of an insomniac at the best of times but when you don't have to get up for work in the morning why go to bed at all

Oh well nice to know there's others.... :rolleyes:

I have DSL, I'm a student, I work better at night.

TheSonOfBattles

I'm unemployed and I'm on a shared (and free) DSL line, so why wouldn't I be up at this hour of the morning. I'm a night owl anyways so, this is when I think best tbh.

I find the night time nicer than daytime also. It's calmer, more peaceful. What myself and a roommate of mine like to do, is wait till the wee hours of the morning, grab a chair each, maybe a can of bulmers, and head up to the roof of the apartment block for an hour to two. Its suprisingly nice up there at 2 or 3 in the morning. Watching the dark sky, with a few pinpoints of lights contrast with the lights of the city really is beautiful, and we get some weird conversations going as well, which is always fun.

jerenaugrim

I work nights.:rolleyes:

Oriel

Aye same as the rest.
A student, I keep awkward hours, I drink a lot of coffee, I'm always on the net.

hedgetrimmer

wouldn't it be the case that anyone posting form the US/ Australia maybe post at relatively humane hours, but there post we be logged at say 4am?

I mean, I'm an hr ahead, but my post is logged at 11.51am

Putting the finishing touches to my 3rd year mini-project final report now.
Have about 30mins left.
Sitting in the sitting room typing this on Asok's machine beside me through a VNC connection to my machine which is upstairs, and isntead of a monitor I have a data projector pointing at the wall.
My eyes are starting to bleed and I have a headache from the refresh-rate and blurry screen (it's focused as best I can).
Have to get a cab down to Ceannt Station at 5am to grab a 5:30am train to Dublin for the Sun Developer's Day conference thingy, should be meeting up with a few of the DCU peeps who are getting their exams today.
My head is splitting and Panadol doesn't do a fecking thing.

Oriel

Lol, request for a new board: opposite of "The Breakfast Club" board? Where "the rest" talk about what they did during the "day time"...

Karl Hungus

Downloading stuff.

Insomniac half the time also...

Oriel

Exactly, where people can slag each other off..."Whoreyboy..."

Oooooohhhhh.....

edit/ lol erm...I'm out of my depth here aren't I?... Sure I'll stop while I'm head here shall I....

"BUT...BUT...ROCK 'N' ROLL!!!"

PcP

Anseo.
Just downloaded Firefox and happy to report that it already knew my boards password. Good job cos I have no idea what it is...

nothing to do till about 2ish tomorrow (today), depends what time i get up at

DapperGent

I do night shifts every so often. This is my third in a row. I'm broken. Went to bed at half nine yesterday morning. Woke up at 5, got up at 6, realised I had to get a bus to work in less than three hours. Almost cried. Watched some Family Guy. Felt better.

I love my job but night shifts really make you pay for it. I can't believe most of you people are horsefucking your cicadian rhythms when you don't have to and aren't getting paid for it.

You're all going to break your heads.

Chad ghostal

Used to do those kind of night shifts.. seems like one long day, never out of work. it sucks.:(
my heads already borked anyways.
#. shouldv watched a film..:dunno:

jerenaugrim

Sorry I'm late:D
I don't believe there's such a thing as circadian rythms. I work 4 night shifts. So, if I stay awake all day after the last one, I effectively 4 days off a week. The body and mind can take it.

TheSonOfBattles

Am I too late to join the cool people at the After Hours 4 a.m. club? Only I was listening to some tunes in the sitting room and having a quiet pint with the roomie. Also, was on the roof before that with 2 friends relaxing and enjoying both the natural beauty of the stars and the man made beauty of the night time lights. That and I was shooting a soft air BB gun at random things on the street

You can tell I have fun filled nights can't you :ninja:

jerenaugrim

Well, I'm working 'til 8am, so I assume this 4am thing can be kept going 'til then. It's all quiet here now, and I haven't been threatened for hours.:dunno:

TheSonOfBattles

It's that time again friends, and today, I'm here for 4 a.m. rather than 5.

Tonight i'm down in Dungarvan, at the parents house for the weekend, and enjoying their unmetered 4MB line. God its teh win Right now I have a bit torrent going at 80k/s. The file is 2 and a half gigs so it'll take another few hours, and I'm just browsing boards and that there interwab to kill time till I get sleepy/bored and decide to **** off to bed.

What are ya'll doing?

Do you know where your kids are?

Puck

Still an insomniac.

honru

Hey, here again. What's up? Anything new?

SantaHoe

I'm just here because I can't think of anything better to do.
Actually now that I think of it, I haven't really tried to think of anything better to do.
*thinks*
Go to bed, brilliant.

sixpack's little hat

anyone who posts at 4am is a loser ..... doh

Ste-

*Enter Sandman*

Oh dear lack of sleep really dosn't bode well with some people does it.
I'm away for the weekend and flights at 8:30 so taxi comes half 6 so I thought I may as well stay up all night.

Mossy Monk

my lack of sleep is annoying me. i must turn my sleeping pattern around quickly

that is all

Bluehair

Its hard to get back to a normal sleeping pattern once youve gone this far though
Like coming home from a longhaul flight only worse

Ok I'm really going to bed now. Have to be up at 10am so maybe I'll be tired enough tomorrow night (tonight?) to get to bed early...

banbutcher

im in austraila thats why im up at this untimely hour!! i mean 3.30 pm thats just crazy talk!!

User45701

I was at a party last nite am now tired going to sleap.

AL][EN

why i post at other freaky times of the wee hours when im not on nights meh! i dunno im an insominac plotting world domination what else would you do online at 4 in the morning?

tman

unemployed + insomnia = tman

Senor_Fudge

Looks like I landed on a success in my moment of stoned inspiration
I suppose there was a demand for some form of refuge for those ghost faced caffeine fueled creatures of the night

i_am_dogboy

Ah ****, I'm an hour early..........just back from work me.

TheSonOfBattles

Just outta bed now, sleeping pattern totally fucksered, so i'm not gonna complain if someone starts early.

Yeah, I remember the LC + Dial-Up Circle Of Stealth And Pain.

Great fun till a good conversation gets going on IRC at 3am and you start typing faster and louder and your mother comes in roaring at you in a half-comatose state.
Enough conciousness to formulate "Whatthebloodyhellareyoudoingupatthishourwouldyagotobeyoubloodylúdramáin" yet not quite enough to realise the - literally - shocking consequences of pouring water over the monitor when it's turned on....

Just as well I carefully and poigniently explained them to her.

Pity, calling a cab at 4am to go to A&E would've been fun.
