What about... work?

I know, it's a pretty far-out concept, but some of us actually do some work on these damn things... :D

tweak my icon sets & winamp skins, tweak and compile Quake and MAME builds, make skins, write dats, and build sets for Nebula and other emus etc, fiddle with my slowly progressing website, tidy up my files, roms, emus, etc and so on

i have a massive folder called 'my projects' full of half finished ideas
sooooo 'The Days are Just Packed'

and there's always single player gaming as well . . . .

I studied the English Language. It helped me spell words correctly, form proper sentences, and stopped me sounding like a 7-year old on AOL chat. I highly recommend you try it.

I think you need the word "from" in that sentence.

As for what I do when my connection is down, I usually play videogames or watch TV. Usually when my connection goes down it's at the worst of times, such as when I'm working on a project on a remote server.

Good choice, reminds me to look out for cheap series box's on ebay, the bootlegs are a gamble for quality, I want real ones even tohugh it'll take longer. Why do we get the films on dvd here befiore the series is even thought about getting released? :x

I just turn my computer off and tend to whatever life I have left. Either that or turn on a video game if all else fails.
