this is not a test. this is a poll.

Poll. Because they are there and I can't think of a reason not to. Also because I discovered a fascinating fact; I am going to die before I finish this story that was already finished before svmadelyn says "I think you skimmed some of this" which is why it went from a healthy 29K to an unfinished 45K that, due to cleverly deleting what you had before, now requires a rewrite that you suspect will only end with your life. Which is somehow ironic, considering the premise.

...right. Poll! Here!

[Poll #1316542]

ETA: Trufax - I think my most was thirteen. I del.icio.us all fic I read or want to read and live in terror of a browser shutdown. I am boggling at 121 now. I want to try that.

...wow. I had no idea it was that common. I saw someone have like, seventy and was like OMG.

Basically it works like this: I go down my flist and open all the entries that I want to read in a new tab. Then I go read them (closing as I go, but leaving open if I want to go through comments, check out pics, save stuff, etc.). And, if there are links there I want to read, I open those in new tabs. So, depending on how busy my flist is, I'll get about a jillion tabs with little effort. I just don't like going back and forth from flist to entries.

Oh, also, if I'm looking at, say, knitting patterns? I'll have the list of options up in a tab, and then open the individual patterns in new tabs, so that can be like 30-40 right there.

It's like that.

Yes, this. I do it at work too, where we're stuck with IE SIX and more than thirty open IE windows starts to crash my computer. I die inside a little each day.

Ditto. I do start to twitch if I have too many tabs open for a long period of time or if I have other work to do and must avoid temptation. Then I save those tabs to delicious (which is why I have about 1600 toread bookmarks in delicious and fully expect hell to freeze over before I read them down).

Yes. Occasionally this bites me in the ass if I get a browser crash (and since I'm now using Google Chrome, and incognito windows at work that don't remember what all I had open last time) and lose everything, but it's just kind of how I work. Open everything interesting, then close out tabs based on how much time they take me to read through (or save, in the case of knitting patterns), and then go down another skip on the friends list and repeat.
