Bored at work of course. Bored at home too.

Ah hell, like Isajera said, I have it connected to my arm thru a 10/100 Base T connection to tell you the truth.

I usually check it a couple times a day from work.

As a I become more and more comfortable with Linux, I try to read most of the posts to see what I have yet to learn. It's also the first place I go to find the answers to my linux questions.

You guys are great!

I don't come here because I get bored (although I do get bored ), I come here because it's an addiction!

I come here because I get bored at work and because I like talking (er, is that writing?) to others and learning new things.

actually to tell the truth. i started coming to this site and stuck with it cause there is good info here. i learn something myself everyday. that is why i come here so often, cause hopefully one day i can dump my job, finish school and make unix/linux my total profession.

Don't be so hard on yourself - everyone was a young once. I was one of only two people that voted 'Who said you had to be bored...' Now, who was the other?

Solidarity!

I'm trying to take slacking off at work to a new level! I keep debating whether trying to get a job doing this kind of stuff for a living is a good thing...

Also, I stop in a lot to see if I keep keep up with Taz's rabid post count.

Cheers,

Finegan

Acid Kewpie. I originally started the poll with only 5 replies, but he invoked his moderatorial perogative to be cheeky. See how the option is signed [ak].
