Friday Five

And now for the Friday Five. It's not the best Friday Five ever, but it'll do.

1. How much time do you spend online each day?

That's a really good question. I'd say I spend 7 hours or so actually sitting in front of Han. The rest of the day I'm in and out. It all really depends on what I'm doing in the rest of my life. Right now, I don't have a whole lot to do and a cable modem. So I'm on a lot. This summer, I averaged maybe 7 hrs a week with all the traveling I was doing. I'm expecting to see my stats take a nosedive after I start classes.

2. What is your browser homepage set to?

I actually don't have one. I start up with a blank page. It's just part of the way I surf. I use Safari with tabbed browsing on. So when I open a window, I want to be able to go someplace immediately, I hate having to wait for a page to load, or to have to use my mouse to kill the load. Yeah, I know. I need help.

3. Do you use any instant messaging programs? If so, which one(s)?

Yeah, I'm on AIM and MSN messenger. At the moment, however I use Fire. It's a program that allows me to use multiple IM programs with one interface. I love it. It isn't the prettiest looking window, but it gets the job done.

4. Where was your first webpage located?

My first website was located on the servers of my High School. That was a really long time ago, actually. I remember when Netscape 1.0 came out. It was like a campus holiday. No more using Lynx or Mosaic to get on the web.

5. How long have you had your current website?

It's been what? 6 days? 5 days? So, let's hear about you guys. . .

1) It depends what you mean by "online." My computer at work almost always has AIM and ICQ on, as well as Eudora (work emails). At home: add a few more hours, depending on what day. Generally speaking (inactive online sessions included), total is anywhere between 6 and 10 hours a day.

2) At work I have MSN set to my home page. It's just about the dullest portal imaginable; that way I actually can get work done. They do occasionally have good links and stories, but I find the ads to be a real turn-off. That free credit check thingie they sometimes link to is a scam, btw. At home I have my links page loaded locally. Yes, I actually use those links...

3) ICQ and unfortuantely, AIM. Have yet to find a client that iports ban/ignore lists from both AIM and ICQ.

4) www.geocities.com/soho/square/1008, circa 1998. I left Geocities and purchased my domain shortly after Yahoo bought them out and ruined that once thriving community of personal web pages. I'll never forgive them for that.

5) Three years this December. I started blogging regularly about a year ago.

Good Friday Five, bro. I look forward to doing more of these.
