I've just been trekking through the memberlist, usernoting people who will never see the things. I'm not sure why I did it, maybe I thought messaging former staff would help me in the CK contest but that's just crazy.
Which brings me to the topic - what time consuming things have you done that were entirely pointless?
Reading random articles on wikipedia pops to mind straight away.
eoff wiki
I do that a lot. But, I think it's interesting, so it's not entirely pointless I guess?Quote:

I guess it's not pointless because they are good practice, but I don't foresee using trig substitution much in the future.

I was going to say various EoFF statistics, but that would be too obvious a joke because EoFF statistics are the most important things to mankind's existence.
I put 400 cartoon dolls into a database with metadata.
Applied for jobs in North Wales. Unlikely to get anything!
Being alive.
I guess there not that pointless when ur learning. But at the early hours of the morning....
I'm a fan of the stats as well, BoB.Quote:

Realise hours have passed & i've gained nothing.
Fighting Lenneth in Star Ocean 3. About fifteen minutes in she decided to unload three Nibilung Valesti into my ass. Everyone died.
Went back to my other file going through Mosel Ruins. Fighting the Ameba Giant, after getting lost and getting some money and xp, he kills us by punching everybody again and again and again. I don't wanna play that game anymore.
Made LOTS of tiny airplanes when I was younger. Each of these planes hat one attribute each but they were all from various groups. There were dinosaur themed planes, elemental themed planes, final fantasy attack themed planes and they all were either good or bad (depending on if they had blue or red tinted windows) :3.
I'm sure most of you are familiar with l0lcats, right? Whoever did the l0lcats version of the bible would beat the hell out of everyone here.
P.S. When I say "l0lcats" I mean lolcats (lawlcats)
Helped hopeless twats with their Java programs, only to get no thanks or anything. Psh, see if I post in that forum anymore... :sheesh:
TV Tropes.
'Nuff said.
Finished college during an economic recession!
Batch re-tagging of poorly or improperly tagged albums I've downloaded. I have like 20 dance albums that were all tagged differently and incorrectly or not at all. Though I did wait for like a year and a half after getting them before I decided I was bored enough to take care of them all.
School has now become defunct for me as, through a special program, I already have guaranteed entry into the university I plan on attending. Basically all I'm doing now is upping my chances of getting a scholarship (which is probably really low now xD)
browsing /b/ is almost always a waste of time even if you do post because ur anonymous,but its good for a laughQuote:

A while ago I usernoted everyone whose name began with Q. Or everyone whose name began with Q and who didn't already have a usernote. I forget.
I would go and usernote people but unfortunately the new thirty day rule has yet to be realized...:mad:
but i digress, wiki, random youtube videos and such things
I waste a lot of time watching this over and over and continuing to be fascinated by it.
