It depends... but I usually spend 2 - 6 hours in front of my computer every day.

"I liken starting one's computing career with Unix, say as an undergraduate, to being born in East Africa. It is intolerably hot, your body is covered with lice and flies, you are malnourished and you suffer from numerous curable diseases. But, as far as young East Africans can tell, this is simply the natural condition and they live within it. By the time they find out differently, it is too late. They already think that the writing of shell scripts is a natural act." — Ken Pier, Xerox PARC.

yeah, umm, I think that explain it all for me.

I spend too much time in front of computers to be honest. Rolling Eyes And I kind of feel guilty because I use it for all the wrong reasons. I mean I'm trying to do something creative but I usually end up playing games or having some silly chat with friends. Confused

I get up in the morning, turn on the monitor, check e-mails and the necessery pages, irc a bit, and then I make a plan what I'm going to do that day. Read about linux commands, find out why my BNC isn't working correctly, call my friend and help him to do some finishing touches on "our" server, but half an hour later I'm playing Call of Duty or searching for new pr0n. Laughing

I should really stop having this much fun and finally MAKE something. And I will!!! I just don't know when - college is starting again. Sux. Evil or Very Mad

My PC and I are inseperable. I wake up around 05:30 and sit in front of it. When 07:00 rolls around, I go to school...then I'm home and back on the computer from 14:30 to 23:00, if not later. I do a lot of chatting on IRC, posting on forums, maintaining my websites, etc. Not much of a gamer, but I can always change that. Very Happy

During the days that I'm in school, I usually sit around 8-10 hours, and that's the time I'm home and not a sleep.

What I do on the computer varies a little. I usually do some programming when I feel like it, chat with people on IRC, listen to music, trying out different programs and methods and reading about science, computers and new technology.

I do everything at them same time, so I don't really have a list of what I do and when I do it.

1.5 hours in programming class every other weekday, 1 hour in the afternoon checking email and stuff, and then some enumerable amount of hours into the late of night doing homework, scripting, screwing around with whatever I can on the linux box, and other such stuff. (~5-6 hours a day total)
