It's a Saturday, so no excuse people :D

I'm in!

if i registered katnotpostyear.org would you not post for a year? it'd be a good investment imo and you'd probably abide by it.

all these environmentalist fags... earth hour, shut down day, compliment day, THESE ARE NOT DAYS

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

So much hate, so much hate

I'm in, though I am skeptical about the level of involvement with only ~2200 people registered at this stage, how long's it been open ?

Happy to shut down my computer and still use my laptop.

24 hours without a computer? I couldn't last 24 hours with just 2 computers!!!

:(
i cant

Nope I can't, gotta study :(

If you are going to provide the hookers and cocaine, sure i'll go a week without a computer

Piece of piss!
I'd most likely be either fishing or out on the jetski anyways.

No way in hell.

Nope

My modem died on Monday night but luckily an optus subby was able to come out Tuesday lunchtime. That was the worst 13 hours of my life having no net.

LOL

24hrs having to socialise with friends & family?

f*** that.

this idea is balls beacuse my DVR box is hooked up to the computer
so if i shut down my pc i cant really watch tv or movies etc

I'd actually have to go outside and do s*** ..

If every government, financial, military, etc.. institution shuts down all of their computer equipment for one day, I will too.

Computer 0 / iPod Safari 1

Tokenism strikes again. This idea should go to the 2020 summit!

I hardly used my PC at home anyway so I don't see why not. But I won't turn it off.

Does it count if I just dont physically use my computer? I mean, I host a website and I cant be expected to stop my downloads can I?

Do pda's running windows mobile count?

yes

Yeah I can, I went up the sunshine coast for a long weekend holiday, didn't use any interents, who cares.

yeh if i have something better to do, it's easy

I only recently got my computer fixed after 7 weeks of downtime so I'd say I've racked up my points.

f*** doing it on saturday. thats when bsg comes out.

too easy

I can, but I wont. And, as Ravn0s stated, BSG is out on Saturday.

So f*** that.

First I was afraid

I was petrified

Kept thinking I could never live

without you by my side

But I spent so many nights

thinking how I found porn

I grew strong

I learned how to spank my dong

and so you're back

from outer space

I just walked in to find you here

with that sad look upon your face

I should have changed my stupid password

If I had known for just one second

you'd be back to bother me

I went down to Melbourne for a couple of months and stayed with a cave man friend of mine who had no net and didn't touch a computer once during that time. You get over it and find other s*** to do.

When i moved into my place a few years ago, the TV reception was useless and there was no internet. It also took me a week or 2 to carry all my stuff over from last place.

So i had about a month or so with no TV, no internet and none of my books or lego.

So i just went out every night or had friends over drinking.

I can go without a PC for a long period of time without a problem, except for 1 thing. I hate knowing that i don't know something so it used to piss me off i could not just look up some actor or question on Google and get it out of my head. Luckily now i have my PDA with me always so can use that to access internet.

Is it just me, or does a computer feel pretty useless when it is not connected to the Internet. Apart from watching tv shows and movies on it, what else is it good for. (I don't really play games)

Nope, it isn't just you.

I can, but why? f*** that.

Possibly, I have uni assignments to do, but there's a good chance I won't do them anyway

ive gone 24hours with out a computer many times in my life. why the f*** would i want to make a special day about it.

Is it just me, or does a computer feel pretty useless when it is not connected to the Internet.

I agree. A little while back when my router broke, and I couldn't get on the net, I realised just how much I use the internet. As you said, every time I'd be wondering about something (an actor, something I heard on TV, etc.), I'd go to check it out on the net, only to realise I couldn't. It s*** me off. I pretty much stopped using my computer completely until I got the new router.

Dont know why but when i wake up i do the rounds.. get home do the rounds.. in spare time do the rounds..

damn the internet.

i loled infi

what am i going to do without a computer

read?

Dont know why but when i wake up i do the rounds.. get home do the rounds.. in spare time do the rounds..

thats my routine....plus checking out s*** like Midda....if i see something on telly that intrigues me im straight online for IMDB or Wiki or google etc etc...to get more info....then of course they all have links that side track me and i'm off on a tangent....plus work BB sitting beside me and i think of work s*** for my staff and get straight on to it....they think i don't sleep!!!

god i am a slave to the webs.....

I could easily do it. Let's all meet up for a go-kart session or something :)
I shut down my PC every night anyway, it's only on for like 6 hours a day usually.
p.s. I have a car to pull to pieces again to find an oil leak so that'll keep me occupied.

While you're at it, wanna fix my oil leak too? .... No??

just cover the leaky part in silicone, that'll fix your problem. Mine however seems to be a gearbox oil seal that requires pulling half the car apart to get to http://users.bigpond.net.au/ritsuko/emoticons/argh.gif and possibly a new CV (makes a noise)

hello there, ive been without my computer for the last 2 months.
ps i just got my computer!

Mine's a gearbox oil seal too, the mechs noticed this when they were replacing my clutch and noticed there was a lot of oil built up, making the clutch slip and wear away etc buuut my gearbox is starting to go to s*** to so they said it'd be $1700 to replace it all

i'll fix your oil leak :]

token days like this are pure wank. Its the whole doing something insignificant to feel good about doing nothing. Oh i did earth hour, i'm so green - get f***ed. Too much talk and no real action.

quick! s1 garage to the rescue.

anyways, it's being sold once it's fixed, i'm over that car now

it's being sold once it's fixed

eh? sell it now, make it someone else's problem!

out of curiosity what kind of car is it?

Okay, well, that was only half truthful. I'm replacing the clutch but not the gearbox. It's a suzuki baleno, and it's costing me a few thousand here and there every few months, so, it's gotta go.
