The Beer Baron · 2004-01-28 21:53:53

Just wondering, yer 1st log on of the day? Me? When I get in to work I fire up winamp irc, trillian, goto fark.com, dilbert.com and check my email. Later I'll go here, maybe midday when my brain wakes up. We all have habits- what're yours?

Log on. Fire up mIRC, pegasus mail, MSN messenger.

Fire up Firebird and open (in this order); Boards, Vodafone email, boards email, and 2 internal web-based systems.

Open every forum on boards that's had new posts overnight, review them, then spend the rest of the day refreshing the new posts list.

I find that if you are spending some time online its best to go to your forum first. Then check e-mail and have a look through your faverates website, then before you log off have another look at your forum.

I open up Outlook, and check my mails.

Then I check a few forums (wrestlingchannel.tv, boards.ie, irishwhipwrestling.com), and then I usually update my Palm for the day.

boot up, open IE, type in username and password (of one of the directors, not mine;). anonymity is bliss) then check boards, mail2web (no external pop access here), the register, bbc website and a few random sites throughout the day. look for stuff to download (legitimate of course;)) and periodically check my email and boards whenever i get the chance throughout the day.

At home, normally windows media player for music, then ie (email / boards / pc sites to see what else I can waste my money on), msn connects auto when I dialup - errr

Collage, lovely startup script open ie for my collage email, my personal account, putty (collage chat etc), and my h drive. I then have to open boards and the subject sites - script needs more work for the likes of msn etc.

Work, open the 5million programs that I use for tech problems, msn, opera (email, boards, dl site to see what I can dl and use up the bandwidth to slow down working )

Another thing, MandrakeMove, anyone know if you can customize the cd first off?
