Waiting all day for the test to start...

...And listening to my entire music library. Laptops are amazing. Especially mine ^^

Sooo... For those of you who are also looming over their computers all day, what have you been doing to pass the time?

  • Watching a marathon of "The Next Food Network Star" while I refresh the page over and over and over.

  • I'm at work, so I was dealing with a fire drill this morning, and now another one with another client issue.  And then I ran out to get M&M's and kept myself from compulsively eating them and ate baked barbeque chips instead, and have been more active on the forums than I usually am.

  • It is a very efficient method of stress-testing their servers. If they announced the time of the next test, I'd mind my own business, then when the time comes login and play. Instead I've been refreshing the page for the past 5 hours and haven't been able to concentrate on anything else...

    Meanwhile, I've been playing the Paradise Island on my Android phone absent-mindedly.

  • I got my music.google.com beta invite yesterday so I've been toying with that.  So far so good but I only have 2k of 14k songs uploaded so far. o.O

  • haunting here. and apparently breaking my home page- it's not showing what's being said in the past 30 minutes, except for me. I know my friends didn't suddenly get tired of typing.

  • Great collection coolbettycakes! Love the fruit tree.
    Between checking on the Closed Sign, I've baked cloverleaf rolls, honey rolls & a loaf of bread (all from the same recipe), searched & found out I can't play LOTR online cause I dont have the original disc (after a *3 hour* load!), & playing on various other (boring) games. LOL

  • @bored_one my homepage is broken too.  A good sign?
    Posted 19 months ago by Jepro Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Homepage broken for me as well... and quite a few others.  Maybe that's part of what's holding up the start up?

  • My homepage was broken for a little bit too. It's working now.

    Maybe that means it's getting close???
    Posted 19 months ago by Nayme Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Mine's still not working...   Hope your news is a glimmer Nayme!!

  • I just wish a dev could tell us if the test will start in the next hour or so, because its 1 am here already and I want to know if it will be worth it to stay up til 2 or 3 am.. I really want those houses but I dont want to spoil my sleep cycle if its not going to open in the next 2 hours.

  • It's pretty damn likely the devs are working their best to open asap... after all, they're simply making the game more awesome for us.

  • I was lurking around on my computer the whole afternoon then had to go to my internship. A local news program later I'm back to lurking.

  • So far today, I've gone swimming and ate lunch with my friends... and then I got right back on my lapytopy. I think I've been pretty productive. My eyes are starting to burn though... hehe

  • Well this morning I had a thing at kids school. The afternoon was spent lurking on the home page and refreshing every minute. Then that got boring and I made macaroni salad to go with dinner after traveling to the store to get a few ingredients. Then had dinner. So now I am all set but going to find some email or something else to read because the home page is being wonky.

    I think the devs are just sitting back and enjoying what we read when they take a break from their wonky pages -so we are all in the same boat.

  • been doing the same thing for days: setting glitch:home tab on 90-second refresh [optimistic i know but just in case!], another tab with mi glitchbook.com page [yay! eldon], another with the www.glitchfansite.com forums [yay! eulogio], plus maybe a couple more with the wiki or other cool-looking glitch-related sites [yay! everyone else - there are so many excellent things out there!] and then absently flicking between them all... obsessive? perhaps... addicted? probably... excited? definitely!

    @Dengo Pimpernel - lol! been playing PI too, must admit my islanders have suffered a bit due to glitch tho! :)

    @coolbettycakes - awesome photos! made me chuckle! :)

    omg - just checked and world's open! see you there folks!
