Me, I spent too much on e-bay on records. Not a lot by any standards, but when I'd decided I wasn't going to...

how did you fill your time?

Last FM Watercooler group.

You don't want to know how many pictures of Secret Machines I posted there...

I WORKED.

I added a load of crap to wikipedia.

I got the UN to pass that ceasefire resolution and I was just starting on Sri Lanka when I saw this.

I was bored as hell and took long walks. Now my feet hurt. :-(

― StanM (StanM), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 14:16 (nineteen years ago)

Kate posted nearly 30 pics.

Picked lint out of my navel, stared at blank wall.

HI DERE

― pain, Tuesday, 15 August 2006 14:23 (nineteen years ago)

Worked, mainly. Strangely enough I got quite a lot done over the last couple of days.

― Norman Phay (Pashmina), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 14:26 (nineteen years ago)

Sunday I moved my only child off to college. I really needed ILX yesterday for brain-novocaine.

― William Crump (Rock Hardy), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 14:28 (nineteen years ago)

Yesterday I opened myspace at like 9:15 am, and then a client came in and time-burgled a few of my hours, and I only realized about 1 pm that myspace had been open that whole time.

― nklshs, Tuesday, 15 August 2006 14:39 (nineteen years ago)

I've been wading through code for our 14+ sites fixing little problems before we upgrade to php5. When I get a chance I've been peeking into the ilxor developer group and trying to wade through some of this code.

I have a headache.

― Ms Misery (MsMisery), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 14:55 (nineteen years ago)

I emailed people off ILX.

(actually I missed the weekend meltdown because I wasn't in a world that has computers in it, i.e. my mum and dad's house)

I've been trapped in wedding hell because of my boss, the bride.

― Aimee (luna), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 15:01 (nineteen years ago)

Why is "HI DERE" up top right of this thread?

― M Grout (Mark Grout), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 15:02 (nineteen years ago)

I've been at senate house library, where the internet is pretty non-existent, so I would have missed a lot anyway.

― g00blar, Tuesday, 15 August 2006 15:02 (nineteen years ago)

i don't know, mark, but i approve!

― nklshs, Tuesday, 15 August 2006 15:04 (nineteen years ago)

Work, mostly. There's going to be a telling and worrisome blip of increased productivity that I hope no-one notices.

― M White, Tuesday, 15 August 2006 15:06 (nineteen years ago)

i just stared at news sites and played online games mindlessly.

i like the 'hi dere'.

― JuliaA (JuliaA), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 15:14 (nineteen years ago)

I did the wee beginner minesweeper in 2 seconds, and nearly did a lap of honour round my office.

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 15:16 (nineteen years ago)

What "hi dere"?

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 15:16 (nineteen years ago)

scroll to the top of an answer thread, it's on the right.

― JuliaA (JuliaA), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 15:17 (nineteen years ago)

The HI DERE was "me@here" 's work.

His/her "background: organge" doesn't work, though. (I wonder why... :-) )

― StanM (StanM), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 15:18 (nineteen years ago)

Hello everyone! When ILX went away, I started playing X3: Reunion. The baddies are called the kha'ak. I can't tell whether the developers even noticed that this sounds like "cock". If they have they're managing to play it very straight. It's full of lines like "no fighter pilot has ever survived a full scale attack from the kha'ak!" and "I've got a handful of kha'ak coming at me from behind" and things. It's great!

― JimD, Tuesday, 15 August 2006 15:18 (nineteen years ago)

Ah, DERE it is.

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 15:20 (nineteen years ago)

i should have thought to take civ out in the absence of ilx. unfortunately, on mondays, i am incapable of thought.

― JuliaA (JuliaA), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 15:20 (nineteen years ago)

reading/sleeping more.
facebook.
and i spent a lot of time on these things called blogs.

― trees (trees), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 15:41 (nineteen years ago)

also, librarything.com

― JuliaA (JuliaA), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 15:42 (nineteen years ago)

i saw my computer screen pixelize - is that even a word/verb - and also took long walks like stanm. my feet hurt too. i also bombarded my delicious page with lots of knit-related links.

this is how i felt!

― stevie nixed (stevienixed), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 17:13 (nineteen years ago)

i mostly hit "refresh" in my RSS reader a lot and then got frustrated that none of my bookmarked blogs had been updated in the past 5 minutes. you could always count on ilx for that. :(

― mickey, Tuesday, 15 August 2006 17:14 (nineteen years ago)

I discovered http://www.43things.com/ and spent some time reading that.

And I also discovered how much I really missed ILX and all the people there :(

― C J, Tuesday, 15 August 2006 17:20 (nineteen years ago)

Ah, 43things! Great stuff, I'm all over that these days.

Work, yes I did that. And fielded questions.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 17:21 (nineteen years ago)

i even loaded metafilter i was so bored. what a mistake that was.

― mickey, Tuesday, 15 August 2006 17:24 (nineteen years ago)

(This is where I confess that I found 43things because I was panicking at there being no ILX so I googled Ned's name).

I am like your own private internet stalker, Mr Raggett, I hope you don't mind :)

― C J (C J), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 17:27 (nineteen years ago)

What, just the one? ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 17:30 (nineteen years ago)

Yes. I have slain all the others.

― C J (C J), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 17:31 (nineteen years ago)

Ned keeps all that hair to hide the swelled head.

― I Am Curious (George) (Slight Return) (Rock Hardy), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 17:31 (nineteen years ago)

Rumbled. *flees*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 17:32 (nineteen years ago)

Fleas?

― C J (C J), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 17:33 (nineteen years ago)

No thanks, I just ate.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 17:33 (nineteen years ago)

Scratch that then.

― C J (C J), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 17:34 (nineteen years ago)

*rimshot*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 17:35 (nineteen years ago)

"rimshot" always sounds ever-so-slightly rude, somehow. Perhaps I should wash my brane out with carbolic soap.

and work!

realized that this place is essential to my workday mental health, and that I missed it way more than I thought I would. like one of those junky rats hitting the button to gets its fix, I kept hitting "refresh".

Played KoL for the first time in forever, it is refreshingly laden with new hilariousness.

― nklshs (nklshs), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 20:51 (nineteen years ago)

Amazingly, having got my head down and worked considerably more than usual, I'm somehow in a worse place work-wise than I was a week ago.

I also went to Dorset. That was nice.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 21:15 (nineteen years ago)

SLSK
WORK

cleaned out the inbox

― jergins (jergins), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 21:23 (nineteen years ago)

i worked, then went away for the weekend. before i went, i got a message from stet saying he'd set up a sandbox on this space. when i came back, it was full of ILX0rs. utterly bizarre, in a rather joyous way.

― grimly fiendish (simon), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 21:31 (nineteen years ago)
