in reply to Your Meetings with your computer

I have to break this down into a few categories as to how time was spent in front of the PC. I'll admit that I don't use my computer time as effectively as I could be (as I tend to be lurking around here ;) but I justify that as Perl research, yeah), but I think that my time now has been improved much, at least in terms of efficiency.

Note: I love my wife, and so I'm not mad that I don't game nearly as much anymore. ;)

Each item is listed in terms of hours.
I hope those married people out there don't take offense ;) I love my wife, and I really was too hooked on MUDs. At one point, I was head coder on one mud, and actively coded/played on at least two other muds, spending a few hours a day for each one. I slept literally about 4-6 hours a night, if I was lucky.

For those not in the know: A MUD is like Everquest, but with pure text, no graphics whatsoever unless it's ASCII art, which really makes for an interesting MUD.
