Teh Seel Asks About Computer Behavior.

[old.Tohtori]

Also known as the very popular TSAACB-Document. This time i wanted to know what your computer behavior is like. It's somewhat of an interactive Seel rant. Go figure and become a tiny model for Warhammer 40k.

Here goes:

1. What is the first program you open?

2. What is the first IRC-channel/interweb page you visit?

3. Do you use alt+tab to change programs/windows?

4. Do you use the scroll on the mouse to browse a page?

5. How long do you spend on a computer if you don't have anything to do with it? In other words, do you sit by the computer without actually doing anything, just thinking if you should do something?

6. Do you try and get as comfortable and solid as possible by your computer or do you lean towards the monitor at the edge of your seat for some odd reason?

7. How much do you estimate you use on computer games?

8. And how much on interweb surfing?

9. How about IRC chitchat time?

10. Why do you think that number 10 question always seems to be totally off-topic?

11. Do you often start programs, shut them down and start them up again when they could very well be on the background?

12. Finally, to keep this short, why do you think you own a computer? In simple terms.

There ya go, fill it out and mail it to the goverment if you like. Then again you can just reply to the thread and get a nice add to your postcount. Have fun!

 

[old.Tohtori]

Forgot to answer them myself. Oopsie.

1. What is the first program you open?
WHL- A workhour calendar thingy.

2. What is the first IRC-channel/interweb page you visit?
Barry fosizzle!

3. Do you use alt+tab to change programs/windows?
Yes. Quite a lot, think my tab's as worn out as my grandaddys underwear and he's been dead since thenbackwhen.

4. Do you use the scroll on the mouse to browse a page?
Yup. Quite handy.

5. How long do you spend on a computer if you don't have anything to do with it? In other words, do you sit by the computer without actually doing anything, just thinking if you should do something?
Sometimes hours. Just cause there's nothing to do doesn't mean you can't do nothing.

6. Do you try and get as comfortable and solid as possible by your computer or do you lean towards the monitor at the edge of your seat for some odd reason?
Living on the edge...love in an elevator. You get it.

7. How much do you estimate you use on computer games?
These days? Zero/day. No time, gotta huzzle work.

8. And how much on interweb surfing?
Too long. Around 2h a day + barry always open.

9. How about IRC chitchat time?
Not as much as i used to, when i wasn't working i was there almost 10h a day.

10. Why do you think that number 10 question always seems to be totally off-topic?
Because there's no reason for it not to be.

11. Do you often start programs, shut them down and start them up again when they could very well be on the background?
YUp. Quite annoying i might add. Open photoshop, do something, close it and start up again. I'm fighting the urge as we speak.

12. Finally, to keep this short, why do you think you own a computer? In simple terms.
Because of the time fluxuations on Entrana 5 and because the paper said it's sunny tomorrow.

when I use PS I have it on a desk for itself as it´s faster to change desktops (hold 2 keys at same time) than moving the mouse cursor and minimize the program.

also when editing html e.g. one desktop for the page view, one desktop for the source file. (and always a primiary desktop with winamp+irc+random browsning

 

[old.tRoG]

You lier! It's just so you can look at more naxed chixx0r wallpapers

 

[mirieth]

Seems a little overly complex to me . Then again, I'm most likely just a lazy f00k0r .

 

[old.tRoG]

It's not complex! It's just naked chixx0rz!

 

[mirieth]

Good point!

We all know about your secret 'collection' Addlcove. Kwypt h4xx3d your computer and found 'it' :uhoh:.

yeah right, as if anyone could harrass Bels

 

[Belsameth]

he caught me by surprise really.
I was so busy laughing at the size of his staff, that he could sneak off with the pics before I could get my claws on him

 

[old.tRoG]

Oh, Bels, you do realise that Krypt now has pr3vvy pictars of you?

I very much doubt that, those pictures are firmly secured on my disk, and I can quarantee that krypt hsan´t been on my computer

 

[old.tRoG]

Krypt is Bels' secret alter ego.

Well, not so secret after all.

[Munkey-]

1. Internet connection. then MSN or mIRC

2. #bwforumites/www.deviantart.com

3. Yes

4. All the time

5. Bout a minute, normally listening to the music and thinking

6. Mixture of both really

8. Anything from 2 to 10 hours

9. Exactly the same

10. Primary teachers instill a sense of pride at reaching the number 10, hence why we seem to lose the topic a bit as we glow with pride

11. Only with winamp really.

12. Symbiotic relationship

 

[old.tRoG]

Damn you Munkey, Damn you and your On-Topicness
