Thought I’d do my first ever Friday five….on a Saturday. My answers are funny (at least to me) so here goes….
1. How much time do you spend online each day?
The home computer is connected 24/7, I check my email when I get up and check news sites and blogs updated in blogrolling before going to work. I then use the internet for most of the day at work, I eat tea and then I’ll check email, blog check, program or just randomly surf….so probably at least 12 hours a day I’m actively using the internet.
2. What is your browser homepage set to?
Which browser? 🙂 Mostly about:blank That way it loads the quickest. As my browsers are constantly opening and shutting I don’t want to wait for the home page to load each time. Having said that most of the time I use the address bar to actually type the url or search query in to launch the browser so it never goes to the home page in the first place.
3. Do you use any instant messaging programs? Very occasionally I’ll use Miranda but I have accounts on yahoo,aol,icq and msn. In fact I have a 6 digit icq number which is pretty rare!
4. Where was your first webpage located?
On a floppy :-). The first accessible page was (and still is) Wabbit’s Warren . This was in 1995 when they were still geocities and everyone wondered how on earth they were going to be profitable giving away free web space. I had to decide on a theme for the site, as in those days pages were grouped by neighbourhoods ie Hollywood for entertainment. I was big into Petra at the time so that influenced my neighbourhood. Note the painstakingly created grey background, auto refresh to a different page, animated wabbit logo (hand created) and imagemap for the various pages. The scary thing is that people still sign my guestbook!
5. How long have you had your current website?
Which website? Absoblogginlutely.net is the latest and the main site that I update and has been running for about 4 months I think. This is the third location for my blog as I’ve moved hosting providers (and urls)
