What's Your Daily Dose?

Gingervitis

Apologies if this has been done a trillion and 2 times before, but seeing as i'm a newbie:rolleyes: , and i'm not talking about that "OMG, how f***ing random is the interweb" thread, what are the first websites you check up on everyday?

Seeing as I'm a layabout NUIG student, my routine is usually:
www.kontraband.com, for general sh1tery,
www.imdb.com, for gossip and whatever question that movie i watched last night prompted,
www.rte.ie/news for the RSS feed,
After Hours (of course!)
www.tshirthell.com for a laugh, tho NSFW
www.radioblogclub.com for good tunes

plus the usual email nonsense, though i totally ignore bebo, myspace, facebook and all that crap...Old school nerd!:p

Pherekydes

IAAF, Track and field news, several other Athletics sites, and boards of course.

Also, two solpadiene soluble. Well you did say "dose".

MagicMarker

Generally email, even though no one ever emails me besides these nice people overing me sex and money. Boards, news and another forum or two. I'm actually getting quite board of it all. What else is there to do damn it?

Bah, call yourself a nerd? You should be using all RSS feeds. I have feeds from RTE News and Sport, the Irish Examiner, BBC News, Sport and Science, ElectricNews, ZDNet UK and The Register. Apart from that, I check my GMail, my bank balance, Kontraband and boards, then I go for breakfast and a smoke and think about doing some work.

As for me:
Here, A couple of other forums, a couple of technical sites and a few that can't be named here.

Oh yeah, forgot wikipedia, when i was a kid i used to be really inquisitive and wondering about the world, but now it's just meh, i'll check it up now... and of course i take everything i read there as gospel, sure why wouldn't you?!

Someone registered it..... they just haven't tended to it with the love and attention that YORE MA deserves.

I think whatever company/person holds the site are willing to sell the domain for €250.

Perhaps we could start some of boards YORE MA conglomorate willing to buy the domain and build the site.

Well, my day consists of:

www.bbc.co.uk (The best news site)
www.wikipedia.com (I just look up everything to do with movies or completely random things, like a Theremin - instrument that makes that weird alien sound in all the 1950's Sci-Fi movies)
www.ultimate-guitar.com (For my guitar-playing habits)
www.imdb.com (I use this to find out what actors are up to use it for my "Where-are-they-now" thoughts!)

Then there's the odd fansite that deals with everything related to a particular movie like http://robocoparchive.com/ (deals with everything related to our beloved metal Jesus)

All the Irish job recruitment sites though mainly www.recruitireland.com & www.irishjobs.com cuz they're the best.

Plus there's 6 other sites that I use to keep up on the latest news of *cough*......emulation, though I can't really mention 4 of them, they're not exactly on the legal side of things.
