The F5 Appreciation/Worthlessness At Work Solidarity Thread...

[QuidditchFan]

I really, really should not be at work today. Before you jump all over me for not GOTV, know that I have done my part!!! Couldn't "afford" to take off work today...But, seriously, why am I here, and why am I getting flashbacks of the Gollum/schizophrenia scene?

Here, here to F5!

1. I assume you mean... type a few words, pull up DU Latest... hit F5 key

I'm with you.

3. No, I mean that I have turned into a monkey who can only type F5...

And for a programmer, that doesn't get me far. For a DU Addict, though, it is as good as heroine...Not that I have ever tried it.

2. What does F5 do?

I just tried it and nothing happened. Thanks! (Hey, I learn something new every day! :D)

5. In Internet Explorer, Mozilla, and many other browsers...

F5 reloads or refreshes the page. (At least this is how these programs operate on the Microsoft Windows platform.)

7. Oh, cool! I never knew that. I always click the "Refresh" at the top

of the window.

I thought maybe it minimized the screen so if the boss walks in, he or she can't catch you on DU instead of working! ;)

6. f5 is refresh.

I love that button... I feel guilty today using it though, sucking DU bandwidth.

4. I'm totally worthless at work today...

...but I'd be insane at home.

I'm gonna go buy some champagne on my lunch break and hopefully open it tonight when I get home.

Go F5!!!
