Thread: What do you do?

Here is a diferent post that noone had the idea to ask about, but i always wondered how many people do the same thing i do after hiting the power button in my computer.

after your system its loaded, what do you do? would be interesting to know what anyone else do.

i meant "check wheather or trafic", in the 9th option, but the forums doesnt give me the option to modify the poll.

Music>Xfire>TTP>Other websites>Photoshop.
Most of the time, at least, I'm always fiddling with photoshop.

As soon as I get on I check the forums to make sure I'm caught up with everthing. Then I check the Game Trakers too see if any of my friends are on. The about 5-6 is when I try to get on DoD to get the server going.

It goes like this Email>Fox News>Woot>Boing Boing>Myspace>TTP

TTP>xfire>2142 and thats all i really even do when i get home

for me, its "right click, close application">>"ctrl+alt+delete" start closing down all the useless shit windows runs>>>>TTP website>>>>counterstrike.

But i only shut my computer down once a month

I have to say X-fire becasue it is automatic so thats my vote, but first thing I physically do is check the forums

First thing I do is select which OS i want to use. Then I'm with s3gulit here, i close all the misc. programs down>facebook>email>TTP>Trillian/xfire>games.

I don't shut my computer down unless necessary, but I do restart to switch os's quite ofter so...

Every morning I wake up, walk all of 2 feet to my computer chair, push the power button, then go check out my considerable number of online things I'm involved in. I check the TTP forums, 40k Online, check up on my Play-by-Post RPG I run, GW Online, my GW Guild's forum, and then a few webcomics (Order of the Stick, 8bit, CAD, VGcats, Dark Legacy, LFG Comics).

So generally I spend and hour to an hour and a half each morning checking up on things and posting and such.

here is a little tip to save a few seconds.

1- Click "Start"
2- Click "Run"
3- Type "msconfig"
4- Select the "Startup" tab (here you are able to see all startup items)
5- Uncheck all the useless process and leave just the ones you need
6- Click "Ok"
7- The system will ask you for a reboot (the reboot is optional)
8- Next time your system starts it will ask you if you want to keep the actual startup configuration.
9- Click "yes" and the option "dont ask me again"

u'll see quite a difference how fast your system loads at the start up withouth too many process runing.
