Well, today it was to check the UT chat room - initially just to see if it was up and if anybody knew why the UT was down, but of course once there interesting conversations usually ensue and boom, there goes half the morning. Absent that, I tend to head over to the MS Developer's Forum on CompuServe, but it lacks the interactive feel of this place.

What about you?
