I most certainly do. No matter what time of the day it is, I do the exact same thing several times a day:

- Check out the latest posts at BF2s and K2;
- Head over to IRC (BF2s and K2);
- Check my mail;
- Check the latest technology and politics news (courtesy of webStrain {thanks Zimmer!});
- Load up a few applications on my computer (LCD Sir Real, Winamp etc).

Anyone else have a routine they always follow?

- News
- Tech
- gmail
- start flashget
- Look who's on xfire

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

konfusion: mostly afk; +480|7031|CH/BR - in UK

Upon startup:
open msn, firefox, solitaire and onenote

In MSN:
Sign in + check who's online and mail

In Firefox:
- First webcomics... If I've already read them that day, this is not included anymore (and email will show up on iGoogle)
- Open Bf2s, check for new posts, keep "New Posts" open in a tab.
- Browse for interesting torrents
- StumbleUpon for a while
- Check for new TV shows that may have come out on wikipedia (heroes has been canceled due to writers' strikes )

Oh, also, I check my RSS feeds along with my comics.

Without firefox and msn, I'd only play CoD4...

Titch2349: iz me!; +358|6833|uk

Generally the first thing I do is press the power button.

After that... I don't really have a routine.

I like to check forums, and mail, n stuff, signing into msn and checking bf2s if i remember, but not in any order.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Open Web -. CNN. Check out latest news.
Go to LiveLeak.com check out latest videos...
Then go to my 2 favorite forums... BF2s.com and planetbattlefield.com
....After all that I pretend like I do some work and once
in a while go to Game Tap and still pretend like I'm working...
Punch out, go home. Turn on my PC, do... if any online payments...
EAT...then tell the wife to kindly STFU and then play my BF2. Shit, then sleep.
...then back to square one next morning.
