    Default What do you have open after a long day on your computer?

    After a long day of Web surfing and randomness (or organizedness, as the case may be), what programs/websites/etc. do you have open?

    Right now, I have:

    Windows Explorer
    - Window 1: My Documents
    - Window 2: Funny pictures downloaded from the internet
    Audacity 1.3.9 Beta
    Firefox 4.0 Beta 2
    - Window 1: What's New in Firefox 4 Beta
    - Window 2:
    -- Google Translate
    -- Faerie's Aire and Death Waltz
    -- Ctrl+Alt+Delete strip from November 15, 2004
    -- Yahoo! Pipes home page
    -- Google search for "disc duplication"
    -- FEEDcombine
    -- Amazon listing for Swedish Fish
    -- Mozilla home page
    -- My Amazon wish list (by the way, URL: http://amzn.com/w/1HT25L9MEJI8U )

    Question

    This is an interesting thread - I think there is a website waiting to be made around an idea like this, based on what windows you have open, or taking a snapshot or featuring some other stats, like online 3 days 22 hours, 7 windows and 38 tabs open etc

    What do people think? If we get enough good ideas I might even attempt to have something like it developed.

    I can get carried away at times, but right now, Firefox 3.6.8 with only five tabs open, a second Firefox window streaming the local radio station, Thunderbird and a single Excel document are all I have open. Things are pretty tame right at the moment.
