Does anyone else have several websites that they check daily? Me, I normally check Slashdot , Bit-tech , Hack a day ,and gamegoof . What sites do other people frequent? Btw, I hope this is not a duplicate of another thread. I did a search and didn't find anything like this.
My most frequently-visited site would be Slashdot (but I spend more time here). There are plenty of other sites I visit every once in a while, but if I try to do it daily, it's just too much of a hassle.
daily - usually in this order: boot pc go make coffee bit-tech forums (software&os first, then GD, then modding, then extreme cooling, then gaming - others if a headline catches my eye) - i usually check a couple of times a day unless im busy with that real life crap. widescreengamingforums.com [H] fire up thunderchicken to check our mail every few days i'll check the member site of digital blasphemy for new images, and deviant art for new hdtv/widescreen images. once a week or so i'll browse newegg and check the daily and/or weekly deals. dont usually get anything though. i'f im home alone or the signifigant other is asleep or watching lifetime movies, I'll fire up trillian and get on #bit-tech for a while, or play games. i used to check the rage3d gaming and linux forums, but it gets tediuos after a while.
boot pc check important email liquid sustinance rid body of excess liquid (yes, in other words "use the loo") homework more homework even more homework well you get the idea... if there's time (in order of appearance): google news slashdot bit-tech cad reallife pvp order of the stick inq theregister On work breaks I check various forums (including bit-tech) and attempt to form replies using the touch keyboard or letter recognition on my PocketPC (often resulting in bairly understandable gibberish that gets binned immediately ). Durring the evenings there is always more homework, and then check the sites I did not get to that morning. I used to check quite a few more sites, but all the mods and hardware news are starting to look the same and tbh the lot is getting quite boring. Most of the modding inovation has gone the way of the dodo, and what's left is the shells of old modding sites trying to review enough stuff to keep their userbase... It is sad tbh
bit-tech my own forums/site WIP then EVE. recently I havn't been coming on bit-tech much because of uni work and eve. Im starting to read the main page storys at uni though.
hmm, my order - Boot pc, Chat on IRC/MSN quickly Check bit-tech first Check email Check gmail Check slashdot newsletter --- Then be a lazy bum and prop sit on the pc rest of the day, if something comes up, or I have to go out.. I do - S

The only places I'll actually load daily are all forums; here, Xaprief, and DPReview. But I have SharpReader constantly updating me with RSS feeds from: DPReview (news) Slashdot Gadgetopia Akihabara News (French) GizMag java.sun.com Microsoft WebBlogs MSDN Just Published QuenteCafe should be on that list, but their RSS was broken last time I checked.
