Computer mooching

Surfing is a good name, but mooching is a better description of what I do at a PC sometimes. I can just mooch at it. Not doing anything. Not getting anywhere. Not really thinking about anything useful. I was reading my Thoreau book the other night and I came across this:

"You can't kill time without damaging eternity."

I suppose I'm talking about the difference between doing things mindfully and doing them absently: mooching.

It also reminds me of that TV programme that was on when I was a kid: "Why don't you?" AKA: Why-don't-you-switch-off-the-TV-set-and-do-something-less-boring-instead? (Answer: because you'd all be out of a job if we did!)

I shall stop, and switch it off. Got books to read.
