The Friday Five...

[fajrdrako]

From thefridayfive:

1. How much time do you spend on the Internet daily?

I don't time myself. A lot, depending how much time I have.

2. What are your favorite 3 websites?

1. Internet Movie Database


2. Can I call LJ a 'site'?


3. Ottawa Public Library, the site I use, probably, more than any other.

3. Do you eat at your computer?

Often.

4. Pick one and why - Reading the news online or in a newspaper?

Pick one? You mean, like a preference? Whatever for? I get my news from newpapers, online and radio about equally. I like all forms. If I could only have one, I suppose it would be the newspaper. After all, it has crosswords, movie listings, comics and Dear Abby.

5. How many people are on your instant messenger buddy list?

I never counted.

I can spent anything between 1 hour and 16 hours on the internet (the latter is when I am depressed, I am mostly just staring at something that changes a little every few minutes of so, like a huge download), I very very rarely 1 day with at least checking my email once.

BBC (4, 7, world, 3)
LJ
www.picarta.nl (Dutch university library)

primarily (live alone)

on-line, for some reason I can better concentrate from the screen than form newspaper

eh, what is my instant messenger buddy list? I've got MSN, AIM and YAHOO messenger, is it one of those? All of them together?

I should look at the BBC site more. I don't often go there - and when I do, I wonder why I don't go there more often.

My internet usage sounds very like yours - and yes, when I was depressed I was probably online more because there were many mindless distractions. It was a great comfort. (Or at least... more interesting than staring at the ceiling.)

Yes, MSN, AIM and YAHOO messenger would all qualify for the question. I have them all too but I use them amalgamated in a program called Trillian and I don't usually differentiate which is which.

1. At home not very much time. I still think it isn't the best way to communicate; nothing can replace living human beings. Mostly I go on the internet in my work because it's boring.

2. At the moment Oltra Mar. Erlier it was imdb. I also love wikipedia and Vienna Public Library site as well.

3. Not really,i prefere smoking.


4. Mostly online, I don't read news papers ( I haven't enough time and I basically don't trust journalists). But I read plenty of books; I swallow them actually.

4. Nobody.

After I wrote what I wrote, it occurred to me that I should have mentioned Wikipedia, which I love, and use frequently. More than imdb, though I find it very useful too.

Books: of course!
