What are some computer related time passers?

That would take a few weeks to complete.



Thanks.

If you are good at photoshop...that can consume many hours of your day. My girlfriend can sit on her computer for hours on end making graphics in PS. If you're to good....make it a goal to get good

stumbleupon for Firefox. Sure it has some obvious choices but whenever you hit that stumble button you never know where you're going to end up. It has some of the best, most obscure, never thought of sites I've visited. And the customization is boundless. Greatest time passer.

Read all the comics for Ctrl+Alt+Del...Of course, that would only take about a day...so nevermind

Go outside and take some pictures or something. Breath the fresh air.

EDIT:

Actually...I would go with Buzz's idea

Have to agree with omega on this one, i90% of your threads consist of asking for help in setting up lan parties and asking what you should do to pass time, i think you need a hobby, not a computer related activity.

Take a few weeks away from the computer...Ban yourself from it(Wit the exception of checking email). Thats what one of my friends did, it wasn't too hard at all. And he got to focus on a lot of other things. Life isn't all about computers
