Sitting in front of a computer...

THEaquino

So, most of us sit in front of a computer with the Information Superhighway at our fingertips most of the time. Aside from posting on Archinect and CAD, what else are people doing while waiting for things to render or hatch or print? In our office IM'ing each other or other friends in other offices is fairly common. Just wondering about everyone else.

reading the news on As.com (the futbol/sports site from Spain)
another tab with email constantly opened

sometimes I have a 3d programme opened (whilst it's rendering or if I am working on it)

Good thread. Right now I have these windows open:

AutoCAD 2006
Archinect
Calculator

And typically any one of four or five local news websites and the nytimes.

Wikipedia is the black hole of wasted time...

Reminds me, I need to get my negotiation tactics for my review
