    Hey, Topic title says it all really. I'm sitting at my computer and for once I am actually bored out of my skull! :eek: Normally I'd surf on this for a few hours (Currently In Progress).. Any other suggestions? Can't listen to any music either because 10 year old little brother is sleeping peacfully in the room next to me.

    Practice your archery skills...:eek:

    Clean the gutters...:rolleyes:

    See how thin you can actually slice a piece of cheese...:)

    Record and measure the distance of a non-forced oky - blow...:eek:

    Measure the velosity of carbinated bubbles in any soda...:)

    Dont really get bored alot as I always have something backlogged that I need to take care of, but if I do get bored it would do one of the following.

    Read a book
    Watch a film
    Go for a drive ( but thats kinda out for you )
    Pick a topic on some part of computing are read up on it ( doing this at present on webpage creation )
    Go hassle friends :)



    or for you do you have any homework to complete or sleep is a good one?




    BUT lb4norleans, suggestions are better than mine.. Mmmmm may go see how thin I can slice cheese ;)

    I was so bored yesterday. I went down with a cough & cold over the weekend, courtesy of my husband, and I just wasn't able to find anything to do at the level I was able to cope with.

    Today, eating chocolate hasn't been a problem ;)

    You could watch a movie...

    Play a tune on an electrical keyboard without actually switching it on so you don't wake your brother ;)

    Paint your toenails...

    Learn how to spell "velosity" correctly ;)

    Find out where I can get an 'overbed table' on wheels for under $30.....

    Log on to myspace.com and chat with my husband who is probably equally as bored being sick at home as you are ;)

    Cheers guys :D I'm liking the thin cheese idea, Would also like to learn something new about computing maybe even attempt to learn a new programming language, but I'm not quite sure where to start. I prefer codes such as C++, VB etc rather than the html, java etc. I'd be quite interested in learning flash, does anyone have any experience with it? Even thought it's not strictly a programming language.
