your homepage
 
i seen a post on the general board that was why that ickname where peeps gave the reason they chose their nicks

i wanna know what each person browser opens to when they get on the net and any special reason why


Mine is one of 2 i go back and forth, either the TFP :)

or

slashdot

juanvaldes 07-28-2003 09:27 AM

custom home page. But the first places I hit up are slashdot & TFP

spectre 07-28-2003 09:37 AM

about:blank

Sites that I visit daily are in the links bar.

tinfoil 07-28-2003 09:47 AM

http://music.tinfoil.net

for obvious reasons.

Though on my home machine it seems to still be stuck on the Mozilla "Hey, you're using an old build, upgrade to a newer one you lazy ass!" page.

bettaa 07-28-2003 10:17 AM

i usally go to either fark or homestar runner :-)

t3m3st 07-28-2003 11:16 AM

fazed.net or SomethingAwful

also, www.m-w.com

The_Dude 07-28-2003 11:42 AM

www.yahoo.com

it dates back to when i had an older pc and 56k. yahoo was always fast loading and had a search engine + other cool links.

sixate 07-28-2003 12:30 PM

I always start at TFP. I probably visit 30 or so places daily. News, humor, computer stuff, car audio, and other crap.

Marburg 07-28-2003 12:32 PM

Slashdot
it always has something intesting to occupy my when i go to read something on the net!

sandeep 07-28-2003 03:00 PM

i'm with spectre on the blank startup as well. have been for years now.

Tandem 07-28-2003 03:38 PM

Links bar here

labob 07-28-2003 06:30 PM

Mozilla 1.4, tabbed...
my yahoo, tfproject, slashdot, deviantart, warp2search, dealspree, hotdealsclub, pricegrabber, ebay, aicn, stilemedia


I'll never go back to a non-tabbed browser....

Speed_Gibson 07-28-2003 07:17 PM

usually the opera forums page on both Opera 6.x/7 and Moz - some of my other systems have my own woeful looking pages as the start page.

there are non-tabbed browsers? :p Have been trying to forget about that monstrosity for some time now.

CAN_skate 07-28-2003 07:40 PM

I start at google, just because it's a search engine that loads quick.

DrJekyll 07-28-2003 07:55 PM

Custom start page with all my links or google.

Yup my homepage is set to my custom "portal" with all the links I regularly use. Still working on it but the first link is to here.

Latch 07-28-2003 11:43 PM

homepage is my uni's page... but first places I hit are Fark, Yahoo, TFP, Straight Dope, CollegeHumor (in no particular order).. I'm going to create my own custom portal page that lists what's on TV for me at that time and the weather (and other crap like that), but I haven't gotten to it yet.

cliche 07-29-2003 04:48 AM

blank startup here - faster and much less likely to crash IE!

nash 07-29-2003 05:41 AM

www.google.com

Quorlan 07-29-2003 11:03 AM

Ditto!

That's exactly what I do as well! about:blank lets IE open quickly without worrying about actually connectign to anything. The links bar is a great place to keep links to everything I visit frequently!

Exodus 07-30-2003 02:23 AM

www.msn.com Too damn lazy to swich it from default

charliex 07-30-2003 02:39 AM

http://www.finitemonkeys.com/links.htm i use this page, which has my daily links plus a search box for google etc.

Zooksport2 07-30-2003 02:40 AM

local weather forcast.
otherwise. my own homepage.

collide 07-31-2003 12:08 PM

Mine is set to excite.com because I use their free email service and can personalize my settings to show miscellaneous things such as news headlines, the weather forecast, my horoscope, quote of the day, today in history, etc. Pretty nifty, but it takes a while to load.

micah67 07-31-2003 05:31 PM

Usually to my work's webmail address. Alternatively, google.

Another vote for tabbed browsing! Firebird 0.6.1

bobw 07-31-2003 05:33 PM

yahoo

Pragma 07-31-2003 05:37 PM

about:blank all the way. I like the speed at which it ... ah fuck it, I'm just too lazy to always want to go to the same page, so it's easier for me to load a blank page and decide from there, rather than always loading Google or something else.

ratbastid 07-31-2003 06:05 PM

Another vote for about:blank (or the corresponding thing for whatever browser I'm using).

I'm a web developer, so I've usually got at least half a dozen sites up on my screen at once. It would be a REAL pain to load msn.com or something every time I cracked a fresh browser window.

Can't beat good, independent BBC news...

MS IE: Blank
Just because this monster of an application is slow enough as it is

Netscape: Company intranet
My laptop came that way...

same here whenever i do use IE, otherwise in Mozilla it is just the default there too.

tweekman 08-02-2003 02:56 PM

for IE google is my home page and for mozilla negrounds is my home page.

The Bolshevist 08-02-2003 10:09 PM

canada.com for email.

JBX 08-03-2003 06:33 AM

Google News is where I start.

Dave 08-03-2003 06:53 AM

http://userfriendly.org/static/ because I like a laugh :)

macmanmike6100 08-03-2003 03:45 PM

Empty page. Because when I get to the web, I know where I want to go.

drawerfixer 08-04-2003 09:06 AM

Breast Site

I figure I can donate my click, then surf off to my regular places.

billcollins 08-04-2003 11:32 AM

about:blank here too... saves me 1/2 a second on startup

drawerfixer 08-06-2003 11:11 PM

Help Animals

Changed from helping breasts. As much as I love breasts, I can't resist a playful puppy begging for food.

dj_simo 08-09-2003 12:57 PM

nostalgic1 08-09-2003 10:51 PM

Something

this is my startpage every day... i used to use about: blank as well.. then i found this... its completely pointless.. but it loads fast... so.. yeah...

oblar 08-09-2003 11:28 PM

yet another about:blank ....

I figure I dont always want to start up somewhere.. If i go somewhere often enough I either memorize the url or I bookmark it.

asshopo 08-10-2003 09:08 AM

I made my own home page that is nothing but 2 text boxes, a button, and links. Link name, link url, and submit :) I keep all my frequent/fav/bill pay sites listed there.

//edit: I did this cause I am at so many computers between my house and work and syncing bookmarks is not fun when I can just load a page.

^dude 08-10-2003 12:03 PM

about:blank :D its quick.

sultanx 08-12-2003 10:33 PM

about:blank

everytime i get on the net i am looking for something diffrent then the last time. I have the google bar and ebay bar so those searches are just a click away.
