I spend a huge amount of time in front of the computer doing work.
It's a Friday night here, but I'm going to Skype with a potential PhD student in the US (UPenn) from Saudi about joining my research in England, after her workday is over.
Also, I Skype a lot to China.
So, I usually talk with people from Cali (-8h) to China (+8h) in a single day.
BF is quite nice.
As is cycling ... as soon as I walk anywhere with wireless ... I usually hear my mobile phones and iPod beeping with emails/messages from around the world (it does not sleep!) that need attention.
However, my movie just finished downloading (thanks England 20/1 service for £15/mo) and I'm going to cook a steak and chill out for a little while!
The time on BF is an easy distraction (I probably write between 20 and 200 pages/week in multiple languages), so this is free of charge!
