First the national newspaper websites (hln.be, ...).

Then the national tech websites. (zdnet.be)

Then the international tech websites (tweakers, zdnet, tuxmachines) and the bbc news website.

The I visit the private torrent trackers to see what's out.

Then I check my blog and email.

Then the ubuntuforums.

-Thunderbird, check university and company emails,
-Liferea, check slashdot and BBC RSS feeds,
-Check some wikis I edit,
-Forums (Debian, Slashdot, xkcd, ubuntu)
-Webcomics (user friendly, GPF, xkcd, others)
-Blogs, youtube, twitter


Of course, as is widely known, the internets reduce your attention span by 95% (and 70% of all statistics are made up on the spot to prove a point, this one included), so all of the above listed are randomly interupted by lolcats, 4chan and the wikipedia vortex, which is precisely the reason I chose to reasd my email and RSS feeds without Firefox.

First I check gmail and MySpace, then I check all the forums I visit regularly. If I feel like listening to music I go to YouTube or Google Video. I also read cracked.com when the RSS feed updates

I actually leave FF open all the time, but each morning/when I get back from school I check my e-mail (which usually has a bunch of topic reply notifications), then I check my RSS feeds (Slashdot, FusionCast, Motho ke motho ka botho, Linuxtechie's Blog, Question the Unthinkable Impossible, digg/technology, Zero Punctuation, Groklaw, Engadget, Gizmodo, User Friendly, Ars Technica, Wired, My tryst with Linux, apt-get freedom, Mostly CLI, Lightweight Linux) and then I'll check Cracked and lolcats, and then I get to UF and post in threads I find interesting.

Then, sometime around 2200, I start my homework.

Check emails (I have more than one account).
Check news, usually, yahoo news or my cities news site. http://www.thetimes-tribune.com/
Learn something (I usually use wikipedia and just follow links from there). The days is wasted if I don't learn something.
Get out of bed.


Ok, that last one isn't true, although I use my Dell 910 in bed, that is at night usually, not morning.

http://localhost/ - I have a script to download updates to any blogs I read with a nice web interface.
Facebook
Archlinux forums

A phobia forum
A webmaster / domaining forum
My blog

Of course, this is only a very rough list as I do things in a completely random order, and sometimes miss ones out.
