What did you do during the Geekhack outage?
« on: Thu, 02 July 2015, 12:43:04 »
I was swamped at work :(. So I didn't have much downtime anyways. But I did look into sneakers a lot. Ugh...not another expensive hobby...

Yes, it looks like everything posted between GH coming back up this morning and the subsequent crash was lost.

Drank way too much coffee and took way too many painkillers...not having a forum to browse is painful for the trained procrastinator.

I actually haven't been home much, but that didn't stop me from opening up Tapatalk only to be disappointed.

I played a lot of Borderlands 2 since I got all the DLCs. Running through every side mission before I start the pre-sequel

I masturbated to my multi-gigabyte stash of cluck clerk pictures that I download every time a new one gets posted.

Now to add more to the collection. I was getting burned out from seeing those so many times!

An entire week of Masturbation?? Wow

Mostly stalked r/mk. Read the Deskthority Wiki. A lot.

Swapped CTRL/Caps Lock on my RF (didn't know I had the keys until I opened the box)

Sent out a bunch of packages to other redditors.

Somehow my name was put on a *huge* software contract at work without my knowledge. So I've been dealing with that all week.

Read the NY Times, worked, cooked more (instead of eating out), and spent a lot of time thinking about life.

So now it's all ruined since gh is back up  :-\

Looked into building a new pc. I've been talking about building a new pc since 2005. Not joking.

Still haven't pulled the trigger.

I keep waiting because newer better components keep coming out. Just as I'm about to commit to certain components, new upgrades get announced. Then, I wait for the product to come out. By the time it comes out, another component gets upgraded. Then, I wait for that to be released.

It's a never ending cycle.
