    Learning to program, browsing the net, playing Guild Wars, and spending a lot of time working out how to use Linux

    [edit]I just got a satelite radio so I will probably start listening to the radio online too

    A small bit of programming (but those days are few and far between), normal web stuff, some server stuff in linux...word processing and an occaisional game...

    I used to game a ton, mostly Q3A (clan ladders in WFA) and Counterstrike...its nice to know the gaming machine I built 3-4 years ago still holds its own for my normal daily use:)

    Surfing the net, playing Frozen-bubble and kfouleggs.
    Downloading distros and playing with them and looking at different WM/DE's.

    I used to more techie stuff with it, but now I have a net connection (and a fast one) it's for D/L'ing, IM, surfing, posting here and researching. And as soon as I get over the one problem with my Steam install I'll be playing some CS.
