Damn that porkylips fellow for posting a similar question to one I've been pondering
But you all seem to have short attention spans...Charlie brooker in this morning's guardian tried an experiment where he disconnected himself from the net and found his productivity had no bounds. I've been without proper net acces for almost 2 months now and have managed to complete almost 50% of my coursework, whereas the first half took five months and will most likely need more work done on it before it can be submitted. Do you find you get more done if you're not using the net, or do you have enough self control that you can get your work done and procrastinate at the same time?

Alt Q1: my broadband is due to be activated tomorrow, what are the chances of that happening since I now have a working phone line and a router that arrived on saturday?

Alt Q2: what's for lunch?

If I didn't have the net
I'd just find other ways to waste my time. Genetically lazy.

Alt Q2: I'll cook chicken goujons and salad for my siblings, and have an orange myself

I read that, was funny. Wil try google instant now though.
The only way I got all my work done was to give my friend the power cable for my xbox and only get it back at weekends.

Alt Q1 - no chance.

Alt Q2 - dunno but I'm hungry, missed the sandwich lady again. Damn angry bird toilet sessions.

yeah I probably would just film it for shits and giggles.
Although after watching Kick Ass again this weekend it could be the perfect scenario to launch my new super hero identity.

You could, for a brief shining moment, be like that guy who filmed himself catching the suicide ducklings.

Although when they interviewed him it turned out he only did because he felt bad,
given that the previous year he'd just watched them all leap to their deaths.

I've already been stiffed over Billie Piper and Kate Beckinsale. I'm keeping Konnie.

I find it highly unlikely that your broadband will be activated on time
Last time I got new broadband it took about 4 weeks after it was meant to be, but that was mainly because the previous tenants hadn't cancelled their connection, which caused huge problems.

Pain in the hole. You try to explain to their telecoms company and you get told they won't discuss it with anyone other than the account holder. Gah!

I find that when I work from home
and have access to b3ta through the day, my productivity actually goes through the roof. Whereas at work, I have to listen to colleagues who have got nothing to do talking loudly about Strictly or Big Brother or some other such shite, and it really does my head in having multiple conversations going on in the background.

My email connection has crashed.
So my intention of working from home has gone down the toilet somewhat.
