quote:Words you thought you'd never hear from me.  Well here at
Bloke.com (me)
we have finally bite the bullet and are willing to thank Microsoft.
"No, No, say it's not true" I hear you all chanting.  "We need people like
you to help the cause.".  Well I'm sorry, I am very grateful to Microsoft,
and there is nothing you can do to make me change my mind.
You see a few months ago I was under a heavy deadline to finish a
very important project, and during a marathon session in the middle of
the night I was wondering what I could do while my Windows 95 machine was
rebooting after a crash. So I did a few pushups, and then a few situps.  
pretty soon (by the end of the night), in the time it takes to reboot
the machine I could fit in 20 pushups and 20 situps, and sit back in the
chair to see my lovely messed
up desktop (since everyone knows all the icons are moved after a reboot).
So I made it a standard.  And then I went around promoting the idea. Now
the whole team is dedicated to the idea!
"Make positive use of your energy."
"Turn those wasted moments into something useful."
So thanks Microsoft, I'm in the best shape of my life.

for those of you who don't like clicking links...

That's probably why all the linux people are so out of shape

I eat and compute all the time, and i also exersize.
Mainly well i wait for a nmap scan. Or something, like packet sniffing

so, let's see, what other things do people do while waiting for their computer to do stuff, and what stuff does it do that makes you wait? let's hear confessionals from everybody now...

Hey, I resemble that remark!

[Master of Reality]

my server, my windows machine, and my main linux computer are all in separate rooms at opposite ends and floors of my house, so when i need to fix or change something on my network i end up running from computer to computer.

[Kintaro]

Mmmm dougnuts

Consider me lazy.
I usually just start listening to some music or read a book, if it really takes long - usually not. I don't have the patience, too.

[Master of Reality]

i've had very few that would argue with me about this: I am the laziest person that most people know.
Although i may have to "run" betwwen my computers at my house, i carefully plan out how i could minimize my trips (like think.. hmm i will be hungry soon, i will bring some food down to my room on the way back from the server) I will plan out my "excursions" off my ass for about 10 minutes before i actually get up.
I am an asshole too.

[trc3]

Aww man i hear ya about planning your trips, im the same way its like i gotta go to the bathroom, get a drink some food, and this and that...i dont ever get up until i have at least 2 things to do, but hell being a lazy assholes is what life's all about its fun and at least to me very satisfying...

[Master of Reality]

thers notin like bein so lazy tat yr efishent.

i hav also ben workin on minimizing my ritin by getin rid of some letrs in the alfabit.

[sporkme]

lol and HELL YEAH to your ass-efficiency.  can't go draining the battery

i only piss when my beer is empty

oh and i always get 2 beers

to stay in shape, i try to cut back on eating, so to exponentially increase the effect of beer

does anyone want to send me a keyboard?  mine is full of beer right now, but i am afraid of the people, so i don't want to leave my cave

i have played video games, not sleeping, until i have defeated the computer and i am stinky for not showering for days- for instance: microprose f117, mechwarrior 1 2 and 3 (4 seemed to fail to hold my interest, it is ms crap), mechwarrior 3 online, c&c red alert 1 and 2, wolf3d, conan on apple-IIc (very very old monochrome game) days and days of galcon (oh my god does anyone remember galaxy conquest) i could list a lot of them

sometimes i have to change pants, having been on my ass for too long to bear to wear the sweat-stank-logged nastiness in my shorts

i make myself late to work typing shit like this until the sun comes up

_______

on a serious note... i really dont get up to piss unless my beer is empty...
i have an inordinately powerful metabolism, eating like a sow has no effect on my body.  i weigh 140 at 21yrs yet i am quite trim and strong, not thin and wraith-like.  i can trace this back 3 generations.          :confused:        

ok so now you know my pissing habits.... fess up everyone, i got my fix

edit:
oh, and i have a remote in my hand to the tv that is within arm's length... spare batteries in the drawer right next to me.
