Ever since merlyn gave a few chatterbox lurkers an insight into his exhausting routine of scanning 60 odd newsgroups, 30 mailing lists and a few websites every single day, I’ve been thinking more about my own morning ritual of information gathering, interactions and just general scouting around of sites that I find of interest to me and to my line of work.

Now I want to know about yours. :)

What is your morning ritual? What sites, newsgroups and mailing lists do you frequent? Is this the first thing you do when you wake up/reach the office? Do you follow the same pattern religiously? Do you use the web as a substitute for your morning paper? What happens when you can’t fulfil your morning ritual for some reason? How does this affect your day?

I was originally going to write some sort of article about all this, but that idea has since been sent to /dev/null. I'm just really curious, so.. fire away!

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
