Default Do you spend too much time in front of your computer?

I think if someone tracked how much time I spend in front of the computer and they presented it back to me as days in a year I would be shocked but not surprised. I use my computer:

1/ Work (no escaping this one but i love it so it is not like work at all)
2/ Listen to music (I listen to a lot of music)
3/ Play games (emulators)
4/ Call people on Skype
5/ Kill time

I rarely watch TV now. I do try to make time to pull myself away from it a few times a week by doing something totally unrelated like take some beers, play pool/snooker. I also sleep and eat

How bad is your ratio of computer hours versus non-computer hours?

The mere fact that we hang out in forums like these probably sums it all up!

Can't wait to see what Michele posts on here

How many sites have you got now Michele? And you run a hosting company?

Oh yeah, BTW Michele I think your blog spammed me again on the Google post. Funny, I got spmmed on my own blog when posting a comment while logged in as administrator. Not so sure whether the WP anti-spam is a bit over aggressive.

Considering the amount of time I spend in front of a PC per week it would be best if I kept my mouth shut .....

It's no wonder that I'm single!

Who would have me?

That's life. At least you get to enjoy what you are doing.
I prefer computers then going to the pub and don't remember what I did the night before.
