Other than HEXUS.net, of course.

Check if the internet is still working, before a sigh of relief!

I have 2 icons on my Windows 7 taskbar - Firefox and Thunderbird - both of which get clicked then I hit my BBC - Homepage bookmark on my bookmark toolbar.

I actually don't know why I haven't set them both to start automatically. It's almost like the clicking is a ritual now.

I launch Chrome which opens 4 tabs, Outlook, OCUK (see their today only deals), Guru3D and Hexus.net. Then once I've checked them i check Facebook.

I come in from school at 4PM, tell my parents I am home run up stairs and hit my keyboard to wake from sleep, have a piss, get a can of Monster from the fridge and then check Facebook to make sure the whole world hasn't gone to **** while I have been offline.

I check HEXUS! I must win a competition!

**CAT-THE-FIFTH** · 08-11-2013, 06:11 PM

I typed the password properly into the login screen.

The internet history to find out what I was "drunk surfing" for this time......

**Obscurity** · 08-11-2013, 06:17 PM

Skype. Friends probably insulted me while I was offline. Gotta keep on top of that.

**moeburn** · 08-11-2013, 06:25 PM

First thing I do is open up Chrome and check RLSLOG.net. Then facebook. Then Papertrail syslogs.

**AETAaAS** · 08-11-2013, 06:36 PM

OpenVPN icon to see if its gone green.

**sirtrouserpress** · 08-11-2013, 06:51 PM

well, to be honest I only shut down my pc once a week (at most) generally its just put to sleep, so most things are still running. I guess the first thing I notice however it the music that starts on waking, therefore windows media player (because I'm classic)

@ Work - Boot up. Click Lotus Notes (ew), VMview and Chrome. Chrome opens Gmail, Keep, Facebook, Hexus New Posts and Feedly.

@ Home - Boot up. Open Steam. Play.

I've been tempted back from the dead with this question.

I double click my VPN - At least some degree of privacy on the Internet.

**DemonHighwayman** · 08-11-2013, 07:40 PM

Bit-Tech, Hexus, Hotmail and RT.
