I'm in front of a computer (winXP, slack) all day except when I eat, sleep, play hockey, or go out. I guess it'd average 12 hrs a day.

i think i play computer about 10 hours a day on average, usually in winXP playing games, then skip to reading up on programing, then reading up on linux commands, then on this and that (languages, writing, crafts, herbs, etc),

all depends on what i feel like doing, and right now i could use some tea, and play starcraft bound games, ahh, just to sooth my mind

now if i only could bother myself to boot up my latop and press a few commands to start reinstalling linux , eh, maybe after i learn some more eh?

0715 - Time to check emails
1230 - Let's go prepare lunch!
1330 - Now time to eat lunch
1410 - Quantum Leap
1500 - Linux... Linux... Linux
2000 - Let's have a dry toast, if I still have some left. with a tomato and something else.
2030 - Linux again
2200 - I need espresso....

Anything between 14-17 hours each day. Occasionally comes down to 10-12 when I am in a mood to study for my engineering degree.

This ofcourse is during holidays and vacations. On a day when I have my university classes, I still use it for about 10 hours.

Is a 24-hour day long enough for you guys???
Do you need more hours in a day to do something in your
machine?
Ever thought to go out of your daily business to make your system?
Oh, man .....
Time is money

What one can also add to this is: How many days does one stay up 'coz of excitement at work(computer).

I personally have stayed up for 3 days working 1close to 17 hours each day on my machine.

Phooh...

I stay in front of the computer 9 to 6 minus 1 hour, lunch time equal to 8 hours.
Then come back home and use about 4 hours average , so total about 12 hours.
