  I’m guilty of checking on my feedreader a little too often as well. As for Digg, it’s one of my homepages, but I only check it in the morning. I go through a page or two of links, click a few, and then close the window for the rest of the day. I’d never get anything done otherwise!

  Usually when I’m bored, it’s because I’m stuck on something, e.g. I can’t figure out a certain part of a design etc. so I’ll either look for inspiration/solution, or I’ll give up entirely and go on a link tangent (Eg. If a blog links to one site, I’ll go there, and just keep clicking random links to see where I end up. )

  The thing is I never get bored online. Ok, rarely. And when I do, I either play Scrabble at isc.ro or watch Meteor Garden via YouTube.

  I tend to first hit the feedreader, then a couple of forums - seaton-online.com/forum/ and dotdragnet.com/forum/. If there’s nothing of interest then I tend to try and get back to work, else I go out in the garden and check my plants, get some fresh air.

  Otherwise I’ll pick up a book (on gardening, Killer Sudoku or PHP, good mix!).

  I go to my feedburner site, google reader, my email, and my blog site stats…over and over and over and over….my job is super mega boring.

  When I get bored I try and turn the computer off. Getting outside or reading a book are my favorite ways to re build my enthusiasm.

• 9 Dennis // Jul 31, 2007 at 4:51 am

  I endlessly surf the blogosphere, jumping from one blog to another. Its fascinating!

• 10 Paul // Jul 31, 2007 at 8:22 am

  I play Desktop Tower Defense - still trying (and failing miserably) to get past the 100 level challenge.

  When I have some time I normally check Google News, last.fm and stumbleupon. When I’m bored I watch Joost or the amazing Mac commercial (US version is much better than UK one!). Currently I’m working on this project (www.veedow.com) that could be the right spot to hang out when you have 5 minutes and want to see things in a different way!

  Hehe Steve.

  Thanks for all your comments guys. It seems that most of seem to check our Feedreader the most followed by some form of video site or checking the news. I’ll add an update to the post with all your faves!

• 15 Terra Andersen // Jul 31, 2007 at 3:40 pm

  Generally I read blogs, stumble a bit, hit up my friend’s myspaces, and then find something else away from the computer to do. *=)

• 16 SEO Blog // Jul 31, 2007 at 7:08 pm

  I usually browse around webmaster forums, the most popular being the Digital Point forums, go over to Technorati and browse around some popular blogs, read their posts, leave some comments and then watch TV or get up to go to sleep

• 17 adnan // Jul 31, 2007 at 7:16 pm

  Hehe thanks for the link pearl.

  @ Terra: yeah I’l add MySpace and Facebook to the list as I’m always on there checking what my mates are up to.

  Hey SEO Blog - cool! I’ll put DP and Technorati up.

  I check my feed reader when I’m NOT bored, it’s an important part of blogging for me. If I’m bored… I go to the fridge lol and have a good rummage.

• 19 adnan // Jul 31, 2007 at 9:35 pm

  Lol Matt - same here. It’s hard to resist when you’re at home!

• 20 Erik Karey // Aug 1, 2007 at 3:21 pm

  That tower defense game is addicting!

• 21 Jon Symons // Aug 1, 2007 at 7:41 pm

  I just remembered another one. He doesn’t produce new episodes by The Show by Ze Frank was amazing. The archives are still online and definitely worth a visit.

• 22 sarahG // Aug 1, 2007 at 10:30 pm

  Found a new hobby. Looking through the thousands of photos on Flickr, especially the silhouette photos!

• 23 Tavi Nemet // Aug 4, 2007 at 5:15 pm

  Sport news sites could keep me hooked for hours, especially the football news (soccer for you North-Americans) that’s in direct link with betting on matches.

  Also I play a lot of online poker.

• 24 adnan // Aug 5, 2007 at 1:46 pm

  Lol @ Erik - I still havn’t played it yet.

  Thanks for the recommendations Sarah and Jon - I’ll add those to the list.

  Hehe Tavi I’m much like you - I log onto BBC Sport once in a while to check the scores etc. I can’t wait till the season starts!!! Ever won much in online poker?

• 25 Tavi Nemet // Aug 5, 2007 at 1:53 pm

  I’m 50$ over the line not a lot but it’s the thrill more than the money that I play for.

• 26 komodo dragon // Jun 11, 2008 at 8:23 pm
