| 193238 | 2003-11-20 05:01:00 | not a problem, just an over veiw of others surfing habits, again. ok schools over and my time for surfing may get a little larger, (150 hrs a month at mo) and was wanting to do some general surfing, have asked this before but decided im overloaded with geek IT info and just want to mind drivel my way around and was wondering what people did or went to on the net non geeky like. as i always see people posting links to this or that site, so must spend time surfing for particular things. but i am looking at bigger picture stuff, i got some great photography sites last time, and i also have a decent cooking site.... and a gardening one to, but apart from pf1 i dont venture anywhere, and as much as i love pf1, i feel the need to learn or adventure more... i used to read heaps, but homework has killed the urge, and yes i have googled extensevly but to do that you must have an idea, what to look for to start with.... so any non geeky sites or other family suitable sites please pass addy on.... thanxs beetle |

| 193241 | 2003-11-20 05:24:00 | Well, uh... oh darn it, I can't really think of any :8} Don't know if Reuters (www.reuters.com) would count, because they do technology news reporting. So do Stuff (http:), and of course PC Authority (http://www.pcauthority.com.au) do. :D |

| 193243 | 2003-11-20 05:38:00 | Jeez your about as bad as cydoor beetle. :p I visit jetstreamgames.co.nz they have far more interesting and less insane off topic discussions, that actually involve using your brain once in a while. /** sarcasm */ |

| 193245 | 2003-11-20 05:42:00 | Scouse is right re Arts & Letters Daily - it attracts such followers as our very own great and glorious prime minister, and of course, moi. However since Dennis Dutton (the Christchurch guy Scouse mentioned) partted company or whatever - there was a bankruptcy I recall, and the site sold to other interests - the content has become more US-insular and self serving in many ways. However, there is an excellent index to most of the major world papers and magazines appearing to the left of the page. If you can't find anything of interest there, then there's always www.rense.com/ to amuse yourself for hours with tales of UFO's, subterfuge, and conspiracies .... :) |

| 193246 | 2003-11-20 07:08:00 | I could mention a few but PF1 is the only site I visit regularly - apart from work related. Beetle, what I do is take a note of anything which catches my eye and put it into Google when I remember. This can be an item on the radio, TV, childs question, anything. The results can be variable but I always learn something. The most difficult thing with the Web is finding something with a high degree of accuracy. A million hits for "crime thrillers" for example isn't very helpful. You like to read - just go to Amazon and look around. |
