      Make a better mousetrap, solve world hunger, formulate the Unified Field Theory, cure cancer, breed, watch a video, write a book, cook a meal, gardening, sleep, get drunk, play golf, visit relatives, look for a better job, surf the net, re-arrange your record collection, become a private investigator, pick up litter around your area. When you have done all these, come back for some more tasks.

        Actually that's a great idea. I can show him some websites where he can get the schematics to build a replica of an old computer. Lot's of fun :)

          Start programming a game - how about an XNA game for WP7 involving kicking some dog's ass?

              Well as most of you know I injured myself at work yesterday and my loving organization has forced me to take a long leave (not that I am complaining about this) but its day one I am bore already. So tell me what all things I can do to kill times (Please do include any kind of violent suggestion). I am peace loving person so kill yourself, jump of the Cliff, Kick the dogs ass(well do not mind doing that I hate that dog) are not welcome.

                          Seriously, XNA does a lot of the somewhat tedious setup for you and you can start programming right away. Take a look at the SpriteBatch class and you can do 2D graphics in no time. Programming games is a good way to kill time when you are bored.

                                    Play games, watch backlog of TV recordings, code something interesting, implement a backup strategy, review finances and move money to accounts that pay more interest, make start on the colossal mountain of mail and email thats built up etc. Not that I ever do any of these things as outside of work I've always been stupidly busy - I did used to keep a list of things that need doing when I get time but gave up on that long ago as it just kept growing so to keep stress levels lower I just got rid of it.

                                        I always go to CP when I've got nothing to do :-D . But seriously, I usually seize the oppertunity and make a bit of progress on my own projects.

                                          Play games, watch backlog of TV recordings, code something interesting, implement a backup strategy, review finances and move money to accounts that pay more interest, make start on the colossal mountain of mail and email thats built up etc. Not that I ever do any of these things as outside of work I've always been stupidly busy - I did used to keep a list of things that need doing when I get time but gave up on that long ago as it just kept growing so to keep stress levels lower I just got rid of it.
