where are your home page/s

[Impotence]

The idea of this thread is to find decent web sites for your home page/s

i have the following as my home pages (in tabs)

slashdot [ /. ] - http://slashdot.org
harwdare forums subscribed posts - http://www.harwdareforums.com/subscription.php
the daily WTF - http://thedailywtf.com/Default.aspx


[OT]
If you want to speed things up a bit, substitute www. name.com or name.com for the IP address of the site, for example, slashdot becomes http://66.35.250.150

This means your browser doesnt have to get a name resolution for your home page/s when it starts (My ISP's DNS servers are :swear:, i need to get around to changing them / setting up my own local DNS)

What does that have to do with the price of fish? :confused:

Try using ping, thats the easiest way to get an IP.

 

[donkey42]

Try using ping

i thought ping was only used to verify an internet connection :confused:

What does that have to do with the price of fish? :confused:

well, actually, the price of fish is always raising as is inflation, & inflation is directly conected to the bank of englands base interest rate which is responsible for the pricing of everything including fish:P :P :P [ot]bet you wish you never asked, LOL:P [/ot]
:P :P :P :P :P

[Matt555]

I have 2 homepages:

Hardwareforums and Google Mail.

I also have lots more pages that I check just as often as homepages... and yes, one is MySpace, that's because some friends I can only keep in touch with through that...

 

[zeus]

Yep, Google here too.

But ive got Hardware Forums, Fanatsy Football League, Slahdot, Ebay, Bandit Alley Forums and AV Forums as shortcuts next to latest news in Firefox.

http://www.hardwareforums.com/
Fantasy Premier League - a Fantasy Football Game for the Barclays Premiership
Slashdot: News for nerds, stuff that matters
eBay UK - The UK's Online Marketplace
BanditAlleyBBS :: Index
AV Forums (though I only post in the Entertainment Computers & Components part)

 

[Big B]

HWF. Duh.

Haha, homepages; unless there's something in a browser I don't know about, multiple homepages is a creation of IE7.

Would anyone care to explain the point in multiple homepages when we had favorites and a single startup homepage anyway? :O

Btw, mine is Google UK.

 

[Matt555]

Firefox allowed multiple homepages before IE7 - Firefox came out with lots of things that IE7 then copied, IE7 has nothing new...it sucks.

 

[CrabbyX]

I thought that would be the case. So what is the point in multiple home pages then? :s

 

[Impotence]

it means i can have Slashdot and my subscribed threads from hardware forums opened when i start Firefox, so i can choose which to do first without having to type the addresses of both... i've moved thedailywtf to an RSS feed
