OK admit it... who keeps hitting F5 ???

Post by Chris Corbyn »

Are we all DevNet mad? :? Ever find yourself sitting there waiting for the next post to arrive so you can either help or learn? Cracks me up sometimes but I really do sit here when I've got nothing else to do, and hit the F5 key every 5 mins or so. Heck, I've been to the pub with some mates for the night and what do I do when I get home? Yeah you guessed it. Someone help me!!! Please... before it's too late 8O

<-- Guilty. I'm a total nerd, nothing else to do most of the time, don't want to do much else most of the time.. so, when I was post king, yes.. I'd refresh.... let's call it "often."

Dude, I thought this was normal activity for members of this community. Heck, I don't think I can even see my F5 key anymore...

2) Visit a few other forums
3) Read slashdot
4) Catch a vandal or two on wikipedia
5) Repeat

I almost installed that extension, but thought that I might be making the irreversible leap into utter geekdom. So I held back.

My thoughts about it were "I would be so lazy, it's not even funny." Still not installed. :)

Not quite every 5 minutes ... but when I'm at the computer it's usually part of the rotation.

Not quite every 5 minutes ... but frequently enough to come back to PHPDN and see that there's only been 1 or 2 posts since I last visited. ;)

I have an RSS reader that splashes the headlines of posts up there every few minutes... See something interesting or think I could throw in a word and I click away.

Edit:
Actually I thought it was RSS but now I think it's a klipfolio thingy...

Lots.... I do that when I'm at work during the day :) When I'm at home I'll usually do little bits of other projects on the go yes... I just have little burst of F5 fever on devnet :P
