How much time you spend with your computer everyday?

Discussion about life, phoenix-network's 'water cooler'

Postby Nintendud on Thu Sep 21, 2006 8:27 pm

I spend too much time on the computer.

Here's what I do:

Check two email accounts at least once a day.
Chat on IRC for about an hour or two or three (more on weekends)
Watch the newest anime episodes from series I watch that have been fansubbed (1-3 episodes per day, 24 mins per episode)
Occasionally I check up on the Phoenix forums and enter a posting spree (like right now).
Update the websites I maintain for two school clubs.
Seed and leech torrents (first program I open on boot: Azureus).
Check and see if any of the game music/anime music/japanese music release groups I belong to have released anything, and grab/seed their torrents.
Check up on VGCats and Penny-Arcade for new comics.
Occasionally look at gaming blogs/websites for Wii news.
Check the weather.
Research colleges.
Check two websites that post new anime fansub releases (I probably do this about 5 times a day).
Stare blankly at the screen and wonder why my homework hasn't been completed.

Yeah, that's about all I do on the computer. Sometimes I dive into my music collection to listen to some music, and other times I begin compressing all the uncompressed PSX backups I have. Currently I'm overdue on archiving anime fansubs to DVD-R Data discs (95% of one of my 300 gig hds is full - ack).

To sum it up, without this Pentium III computer, I would be doomed to have too much free time. And now, I have too much NOT free time. Razz

I spend around 14 hours on the computer each day... most of the time doing several things at once... offering support on IRC and on some forums, checking the news (yes, that can take some time), working on some software project, and just learning anything that comes to my mind Smile

How much time??

Postby AnakhaDracon on Tue Sep 26, 2006 12:15 am

Tough question. I spend about 10 hours a day on my computer or my laptop mainly because when I am at school I take notes on it and then when at home its homework time.

I probably spend about 1-2 hours of that time playing games

Well i spend quite a bit of time working (Driving over the road) and dont get much time online then, but when i get time at home i play around with my website and post to the forum.

The time i spend online is usually here at phoenix or at my chatserver.
But id have to say i spend about 3-4 hours online per day when i can, my other time is spend washing my truck or fishing with my son or something like that... Smile

much more gaming than other things? =)



I'm horrible at this. I sit on my computer 8 hours a day at work. Sometimes I'll come home and jump online real quick. After work, it's surfing, playing World of Warcraft, chatting and the like for most of the evening. If I'm online less than 12 hours a day, it's fairly unusual.

Sad. Sad

I spend about 4-5 hours a day, depending on what I have to do that day and on the weather. I enjoy spending time at the computer, playing games, craeting graphics in Photoshop, making videos or just learning new computer related things.
