how offten do you unplug for an entire day?

brand0n · 06-02-2004

and how hard is it? are you drawn back to your computer? do you have "no computer" days?

Mike AI · 06-02-2004

Very rarely for me.

Normally only when forced to. When I got on a cruise, or somewhere that does not have internet connectivity.

It hurts for the first 24 hours, but then its relaxing afterwards.

It only sucks when getting back online and seein 200 e-mails that need to be answered.

It's difficult. My eyes burn sometimes from looking at the monitor so much.

I take most weekends off since my son was born... I'd never realised that the real world still goes on even if I'm not at my pc

I've heard of people that do that ..
Never met one though

I rarely have 'no computer' days.... I do have days were I spend only a couple hours in front of it tho.... usually weekends...

RawAlex · 06-03-2004

Since I started working on (mainstream) video and movie stuff, I have a few days a month when I am totally not able to be in front of the computer. Although even then, I tend to check mail in the morning and at night. Laptops and wireless means it is even easier to keep up no matter where you get to (the golf course in my neighborhood recently added a boingo network... so you can surf on all 18 holes. stunningly stupid!).

hardly...

Only when I travel.... (last year in NYC, year before that in Europe...) Even than Ill find an internet cafe at some point to check on everything.

AM Jeff · 06-03-2004

Weekends for me is family time.

There are times when doing design work. I need to take a break.
Starring at a square inch on a screen for several hours and drive me fucking nuts.

Like now..I just finished up on doing something and I am about to kick the shit out of the monitor.
Bad thing, its not my monitor.

Total fucking stress.

If I don't walk away sometimes.
I'll end up killing someone.

I will tell Katie if she wants me off the computer more, she will have to pop out a kid.... I think she will tell me to stay on the computer.

Dravyk, once I had my new passport photo rejected, because I was too white on the picture, so they could not make good scans of it...
