DDR, but you don\'t have to pay. Give your fingers a workout.

Post by: faldrok on February 09, 2005, 08:08:56 pm: Sometimes I like to sit on my front porch and yell random things at the people that pass by. Since you lost your voice, you can\'t do this, hmm. Well, you can\'t go outside too much as cold air is hard on the throat. I had strep throat in the middle of winter and it is slightly cold at midnight here in the winter.

So, find more stuff to do on the computer would be my advice. Become an IRC Geek, sell your streptococci germs on EBay, read comics, download some more stuff illegally, etc. You know, the usual. ;)

Post by: miLosh on February 09, 2005, 09:15:34 pm: compiling the CVS version for linux. enjoying the \'wrong version for this server\' message and out of pure excitement running the linux installer from the ps website. even more excited i get when i see that neither the psclient nor updater binaries are build with it. and after so much fun, i need to rest for 1-2 days but then, yeah, then i do the whole proceedure again.

i just hope that the CVS version will never work on linux, because then i\'d have actually to play ps.

sarcasm off...

When stuck at home however (which is very very rare) I try to find time to paint, maybe you should take up something arty?

ROFL!

Well, you can easily spend entire days browsing and writing in forums, like this one. ;)

Then again, you can go to this thread (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=14225&boardid=19&styleid=3) and see if it has something for you.

Or you can start cooking things. Or find any activity that may suit your interests, that you always wanted to try but didn\'t find the time to, as now is the perfect time. :) Even if you find out you don\'t enjoy it, you passed some time while doing so and know that you don\'t.

Don\'t code, though, as you\'ll need your voice to yell at the computer. ;)

But don\'t worry, you\'re in no danger from strep

Post by: Monketh on February 10, 2005, 02:06:52 am: Ah, what do I do for fun?

Hm...
Well let\'s see. Argue politics, digital re-imaging/refinement of my drawings & submit to deviantart, and visit forums.
That\'s about it, since I don\'t have time for much else.

Edit: After re-reading this post, I just realized how utterly boring I am. Oh well, who cares? :P

Post by: Diamondcite on February 10, 2005, 04:39:50 pm: Most generic advice, if you can think of something more generic just try!

When bored, SLEEP! (I really did do this when I was younger, it\'s still part of my behaviour.)

Post by: Couatl on February 11, 2005, 06:23:04 am: Hmm.. well.. when I think \'bored\', I usually think of what to do in the middle of last period English class. *gag*

In short: The only way I survive is to go into zombie mode. And think of food. mmm.. foood... *zombie walks off*

Post by: Efflixi Aduro on February 11, 2005, 09:11:41 am: Sadly, Im actually playing another MU server. My friend is playing it and i have nothing better to do so im just playing it on the side till the REAL CB comes.

Post by: Syzerian on February 11, 2005, 09:27:48 am: Well Ill usually just play star wars battlefront and if that fails to amuse me Ill play some warhammer 40k or splintercell. And if I get bored of those Ill find some other way to occupy myself, colouring the fanart pics usually interests me.
And if Im not around a computer and bored Ill just go into hibination (sp?) mode :P

Post by: WiseKran on February 11, 2005, 06:09:24 pm: Ive been home for 5 days now... hours pass like days, and days like weeks. its insanity, im pretty much hibernating right now, but it doesn\'t work so well.

Post by: DuraKaN on February 12, 2005, 01:44:25 am: Whatever you do, don\'t try modelling pieces of polystyrene with a kitchen knife. I tried that when I was 8 and fainted at the sight of my own blood, lol. Still got the scar.

Expanding on the zombie idea, it\'s good when used in combination with a boring game like Runescape or something. I\'ve spent countless hours mining and not noticing how much time I\'m wasting...

Or you could learn Russian, or another language. A great website to start at is: http://langintro.com/rintro/first.htm (http://langintro.com/rintro/first.htm)

Edit: Lmao! The-game-that-shall-not-be-named.. sorry for the profanity, I\'m just a n00b :rolleyes:

Post by: davo on February 12, 2005, 05:27:47 am: ok heres one shot or 2

have full blown proper meals, like cook yourself breakfast and lunch and cook, not make, cook. it takes up a lot of time and should make you satisfiedingly non hungry and happy.

number 2..download or use a 3d modeling programe like 3dmax or maya and create a world ! make a city, or cool objects. it takes up a lot of time and is creativly fun, not just mindless fun. and gives your brain and workout and a sense of self satisfaction instead of just killing things..

andyways thats my ideas...

ohhhhhhhh play with lego if you have thousands of mixed up pieces. dont use instructions, just make lego things.

cheers
