      When I'm meant to be studying for uni, and I'm stressed out, I'll roll out of my chair and into my bed, where I'll lie there and berate myself for not knowing the answers.

      This is a regular occurrence.

      I use Flock, which is just a socially-driven Chrome. So, Chrome. I was a Firefox evangelist for a long time, but Chrome iterated incredibly quickly, and when they released their addons platform, I looked on with keen interest. It wasn't until they added Adblock and Wet Banana (grab + drag) that I decided to go all chrome.

      Some addons aren't quite as polished, but that's fine. Also, Flock is quite buggy in some regards. Still, it's a tradeoff. I'm with Flock because the addons work there (with some exceptions).

      I'm interested in Rockmelt, but would really need integration with Chrome's addons until I used it properly. The image of it, though, does show that it indeed is Chromium, so hurrah for that.

      I probably wouldn't say anything or, if I did it'd be something lame like 'okay'. Or I'd just give a thumbs-up.

      Software. Media. Games. Basically, anything that can be downloaded and stored onto my hard drive with little effort is placed there. I'm a bit of a hoarder.

      Lately I've been collecting Microsoft Research journals, and some game dev books, in the hopes I'll read them over the summer. Also, I've grabbed myself a lot of source code. Every time I see an svn trunk I just go ahead and grab it. Every time. All in the hopes that one day I'll read through it and understand it.

      I use Windows Live, because it now integrates nicely with facebook, which means I don't have to go onto the site. I'm also a big fan of their new redesign, but I had to patch it to remove the ads. Those were pretty damn annoying (yes, I understand that's why it's a free service etc).

      I might get more heavily into Skype a little later, but there's no real desire to get into it.

      On my phone I sometimes use AIM because it integrates with facebook, again. But the main app is MSN Droid.

      I am not sure if that was designed to be a question mark, but stood up straight through fear, so I will just say: most probably yes.

      I'm not wearing YOU, whoever you are. Though, depending on context, I would probably want to.

      It depends on what time of the year it is. Usually during uni semester, I don't sleep until perhaps 2-3am, and wake up at 10-11am. When I'm working I still sleep at roughly that time (maybe a little earlier: midnight - 1am) but wake up earlier, and make up for it the next night.

      I would have to say shoulder, because that's the area I'd assume most people would survive without an ultra disability in later years. If one went toward the hand or foot, it would make using either of those things incredibly awkward.

      I'd have to say the shoulder. There's enough muscle and bone there to stop it from being too lethal.

      Genghis Khan, on a drinking binge in Europe, because it would be the most intense and horrifying drinking experience in the world.

      I broke my elbow on Christmas Eve of 2002 while in a pillow-fight with my dad and brother (really). I was hit, fell back and hit it against a cupboard.

      Anyway it was pretty much the worst Christmas I'd had, and it wasn't until maybe 5pm the next day (about 26 hours after it had broke) that I went to the hospital. After waiting for another 3 hours or so (because the staff there were inundated with dickheads who got into fights and smashed bottles on other peoples' faces etc) I got a cast, and was sent on my way.

      But other than that: no.
