It's What Sites do you surf Wed, MKF 12-11-01

[WiccansIllusion]

Well, apparently the mods decided to make things a little more fancy. Nice work ladies and gents.
Anyways, as for a Willow and Tara related question, what do you think Willow's reaction would be to her favourite websight being slightly changed?
Personaly, I could see her nearly bouncing off the walls and saying "Look what Xita did Tara!"

And as for favourite websights, outside the Kitten of course, what are yours?
For a long while, durring my Xena days I checked www.ausxip.com quiet frequently.
But, alas, long live the Lesbian Cliche, that makes it painful to watch old Xena eps.

Anyways,back to the question, what other websights do kittens surf?

*edited cause I'm a dummy

[BytrSuite]

Uh, no. EzBoard made all the changes. No one here did anything.

[WiccansIllusion]

Oh...oops...either way it looks good?

[JulesP600]

Well, because I am a bit sad.

I spend most of my time on here when on the internet. There are a few other sites I look at but mostly here and www.madonna.com

What a sad life I lead!!!! I am happy though

[BytrSuite]

Sure, I don't mind the changes to the interface. I think it'll take some getting used to, though.

And, just a note to all, it is still against the faq to mess with the font and color of all of your posts.

from the faq:

And here are the release notes for what they did.

[kbk3022]

Wow, cool daily thread WiccansIllusion you always come up with good ones every week. Maybe I'll start one one of these days!

Anyway to the question, I frequent this site A Dictionary because I never know any of the big words that some of the kittens like to use. I tend to use the same words ones over and over, because I know what most of them mean.

Have a good Wednesday everyone!

[taralicious]

Well, I've just gotten hooked on the Bookworm word game at popcap.com because that's the sort of writer I am. I find it relaxing to use my mind and exercise my vocabulary.
Probably the same way mathematicians like to solve equations.
I also frequent a number of the Willow/Tara-centric fanfiction archives. i.e, Wiccan Ways, Extra Flamey, Willow and Tara's Room, among others.
The Internet Movie Database is another haunt as I'm such the movie geek.

[Hyo Shin]

Jeanette Winterson's official site.

www.jeanettewinterson.com/

[SJ]

I like the new posting interface as it allows the use of smilies easily Back to the question I also visit a site called Tangent21.com just a general chat forum.

[Patches]

Wow, this format for the reply page is _a lot_ to absorb first thing in the morning - the rageing emoticons to the right are making me dizzy. Thinking it's time to use word processor and paste here - shudder. No, wait, I just found the "hide" button D'Oh!!

Back to the topic - To kill time I like [link=http://www.jigzone.com newwindow]Jigzone[/link]. Mostly I use the internet for finding information - gawd my life is boring right now. ( )

edited because it's early in the morning and I can't think/type/write until I've had coffee - there should be an emoticon of coffee, that might work as a substitute.

[Shinnen]

I'm a freak... here's a few of my favourite sites.

flashkit
Pucca Club
www.shockwave.com but more of Loop!

[Tulipp]

Oh I see what you mean about the changes! Weird.

Okay, when I'm not online here, I've been known to spend a fair few minutes at The Spark and Emode doing Bitch Tests and Compatability Tests and the like. And I frequent my university library's website a lot.

My favorite new sites, however, are the "it has been brought to my attention that I only ever say teasingly mean things about my gf in the daily threads" site and the "oops, I thought it was clear when I did that that I was being cute and not mean because she is the best and I love her a ton" site.

[Meister99]

In my time at home , now that I'm newly single I spend more time playing Everquest and lurking my server's site

pub142.ezboard.com/bayonaero and www.brentcopeland.com/beastlord/

I was wondering if anyone else plays EQ it would be fun to start a Kitten guild ... hehe

I also visit www.weavered.com/ for my ER fix

[cesario21]

Snuggles,
Pillows xxxX

Goodness, someone's gone and tweaked the add reply page. How come when there's tweaking going on lately it's always when I'm not around?

So I'm back from hangin' with the hillfolk. Had a nice time in North Carolina, land of treecicles- trees become completely encased in ice after ice storms, along with everything else outside. Who knew? Thanks for my farewell J-Ho verse, Ruf. Hee. How I do love my bint. Let me count the ways... one ass smack, two lavings, three hip gyrations...

I don't websurf as much as I used to, but a few sites that I enjoy aside from my Kittenish haunts include:Astrodienst, Homestar Runner Toons, and PopCap Games. Whoever it was (yon chat whorelette) who got me hooked on Bookworm, you are in so much trouble... after I finish this game. And I swear by the Homestar Runner cartoons. Strong Bad rules. Especially when he checks his email. Especially when it's from Trevor the Vampire.

And then there's always www.squishthatfireflea.com

Edited because EZboards still has some bugs of its own to be squashed with the new prompts.

[darkmagicwillow]

The Kitten is my only regular site, though I've been spending too much time at a really good cable modem FAQ site due to my flaky internet connection recently.

I surfed Deutsch Bahn's query site for rail information all over Europe this Fall, but Castle Explorer is more fun and yes, that is a picture of Bodiam on its home page.

I found the "hide" button. Life is good once again.

[kukalaka]

Oh my, lots of buttons here...

I go to N-TV every now and then (depends on whether I have access to other means of information) to get updated on what is going on in the world.

I go to www.lsvd.de, the site of the German association of lesbians and gays at least once a day, as they have a page with links to news concerning homosexuality that is constantly being updated. Very useful.

But since I don't have access to the internet at home anymore, that's pretty much it.

Oh, and I go to the site of the Deutsche Bahn every time I plan to go home, which still is quite often.

[Bookcat]

www.rateyourwriting.com
this one
www.slate.com
www.theonion.com
I think that's mostly it.

[mollyig]

More than half of my working day is spent on the internet, but in fairness it's sometimes work-related! [img:0fb1dc426d]http://homepage.eircom.net/~mollyig/stretch.gif[/img:0fb1dc426d]

Apart from the boring work websites, and this wonderful Board I visit the following sites fairly regularly:

Unsurprisingly, www.indigogirls.com hoping that my darling [b:0fb1dc426d]IG[/b:0fb1dc426d] will have announced that they are moving to Ireland.

www.garfield.com for daily Garfield comic strip

Dublin City Traffic Cams when I want to find out about the state of the traffic on my commute home.

[Zippy]

I surf all sorts of different sites, some for fun and some for work, most of my time is spent at the kitten but other sites include:

Kylie gosh I bet none of you saw that link coming.
arsenal FC- Living in the north east, these days I hardly get chance to go to highbury.
friends reunited Truth be told I had a pretty crap time at school and only ever kept in contact with one person, but I love reading about the people who I went to school with & finding out about their lives now.
FSA I use this site loads for work.

[AutumnT]

Hey all - I just returned from a lovely trip to the UK. I enjoyed London, thought Bath was really just lovely, but let me tell you the place to go is Manchester. I had some jam tarts there.

Neener.

[ruby]

Holy moley! Change is hard.

Welcome back, Autumn. I'm glad you had a good time in England.

I completely agree with those who have been spending inordinate amounts of time playing Bookworm. Perhaps we need to start some kind of withdrawal plan?

As for sites, I check in regularly with the New York Times, salon.com, and lots of music sites--mostly checking album reviews and stuff.

It's cool to see what everyone else is reading!

[WebWarlock]

Speaking of sites.

This has to be seen.
www.toonedin.com/movies/W...hXmas.html

Turn on your speakers and hang the mistletoe by the Dale Ernhardt poster and Budwieser lighted clock.

[FlereImsaho]

Willow's reaction to the website changes:
First, she would adapt a lot quicker than I can!
Second, she would play with the changes to see how well they worked.
Third, she would critique the changes, coming up with her own list of possible improvements.

These are the sites I use the most:
The kitten board of course!
A daily news digest with links: CURSOR
(I'm trying to cut back on reading the news, as it is usually depressing, but the habit is hard to break)
Daily U.S. political analysis: The Note
Nerd news: Slashdot
The starting point for anything investment related: Superstar Investor
Amazon.com for book browsing
Several job search engines: hotjobs, dice, monster, etc.
Google for general web searching
And a bunch of work related sites which are of no interest to anyone who has a life.

[sparrow]

All I can say is espn.com. All good things come from there.

[Rosenberg]

Unfortunately, I dont have a lot of free time to surf the web, so the kitten is where I usually spend the majority of my computer time. About the only other sites I really look at are Extra Flamey and Wiccan Ways, and I like to check out Eeks Tara and Willow sites. Other than that, every so often Ill go into mlb.com and espn.com to see whats happening in the sports world. I dont really trust myself to go into bookworm, because if I did, I know I would get hooked.

[hopico99]

wow, that's crazy....the new reply thingey.


umm...websites.

www.cnn.com
www.alternet.org
cool alternative news site
www.zmag.org
the coolest alternative news site
www.nytimes.com
love it love it

i'm a news whore..gotta know stuff...

and this board...and my e-mail...that's it...

[tommo]

Autumn sweetheart, you may have had jam tarts, but I had groping. Ahem.

Anyhoo, I've been spending some time trawling the delights of play.com lately, what with it being Christmas and all. It's so cheap! It's so good! It's so depleting my bank balance!

I look; then I remember I don't have money. So I cancel my order for the twenty five box sets of stuff I won't watch and don't need...

[/quote:dbce786009]

Juli, you crack me up. I think you should join me at the "Needs to learn that excessive teasing is really not as funny as she thinks it is" site. It's not actually helping me to be honest, but I'd like someone to sit at the back with and make fun of everyone else. And then obsess about how awful we were for the next ten days

So favourite websites. Hmm...
Aston Villa FC is the home page of the greatest football team in the world. No, now, stop laughing. I didn't say we were the greatest in terms of talent. What we lack in skill we make up for in honour, fair play and tradition

iccoventry I like to check that to see which of my stories our sister website has nicked as its own.

Hold The Front Page is excellent for story ideas, research, keeping up to date with legal challenges in the courts. And it has a great column by Barry Beelzebub which is just the most offensively funny thing I read in my entire week.
