Hah, I use uTorrent too, it gets a bit illegal sometimes
I have a laptop and it gets so damn hot while playing GUI intensive games that it shuts down.

Good old mIRC. I use to love scripting mIRC back in the msn chat room era. Use to cause the sysops havok

I just make fun scripts, SwiftIRC isn't any fun to mess with, mostly 12 year old runescape players
I just sit here all day trying to bag a spammer, but hazel gets up too early for me and cleans the place out.
Maybe Nergal and Augeas get a few as well now, and when I take time off to sleep, Andavari comes in and nukes the ones I missed sleeping.
I'll never get my Piriform Laptop at this rate.
If I wasn't so dedicated then it would music, movies, photography, watching on line TV which I can't get on my TV, and searching the web for some wicked download links to stick under logins nose. He can't refuse them.
Foobar2000: (Music)
MPlayer with MPUI: (Watching video/movies)
DVDFab HD DeCrypter: (Ripping DVD's. My own of course for backup)
ImgBurn: (Burning DVD's, ISO's, and back-up data disks.)
Mp3tag: (Simply the best MP3 metadata tagger out there)
PhotoFiltre Studio: (Doing stuff with photographs)
Picasa 3: (Photo Organiser with some cool features)
Burrrn: (The only program I would use for burning CD's)
AudioGrabber: (Ripping CD's with "Lame" Encoder. An oldie, but still rocks for me)
This is the stuff I would be using if I had the time.
Back on watch.
I forgot about MP3Tag!
Do you also study up for your weekly moderator exams, Dennis?

If only I had the time.

Perhaps some camouflage... 
You should have put a smiley on the end of there.
(Nice one)
After reading your post Dennis I have decided to stop paying all those people to post spam so that I get to the top of the 'Spam Remover' leader board.
Of course the pull of the Gold Plated laptop from Piriform for the winner made me do it. I'm sorry
So I will turn over a new leaf and go back to using my laptop for other things
Mainly I am search based, I love finding info online.
I also use my pc for software testing, using Ashampoo for my linux iso burning **waves to Login123**
Decrypter etc. (for legal purposes of course).
Catching up on iplayer if I miss a TV program
Not too into all the music software, just tend to use Windows Media Player.
