    I usually do some light cleaning around the house.

    Does the "make love" option have to include another person?

    Watch a movie / tv. I've found that if I open a browser prior to starting the burn I usually don't have any problems burning...

    Usually my projects are batch encoding while I'm asleep or at work. When I have to render out a smaller clip I often slave them out to the other workstation so I can continue to use my main workstation for doing more editing or crashing BF2 when I try to play it. Sometimes I'll have a movie I want to watch but otherwise if I'm not at my PC keeping an eye on things I'm not far away with a book. Now with wireless and my laptop I can keep an eye on things from anywhere in the house or even outside in the gazebo

    I said "Watch tv/movie", but this poll should let you choose more than one option.
    It all depends on specifically what kind of "project" is running and what time of day.
    If I'm running TMPGEnc and it's gonna take a while, I usually set it up right before bed or work.
    Friday morning I set up a batch encode (6 files) for TMPGEnc to convert from .avi to .m2v/.wav and then left town, getting back just a few hours ago. It took over 35 hours...
    So "Go on vacation" could even be an option!

    If I'm authoring or burning, I usually just surf TV or go to my other PC and surf the net.

    For a second there I thought jeex was back

    I've had a large InDesign document take almost an hour to output to PDF, and since Distiller isn't SMP I played FarCry on the same computer as it was distilling to PDF 8)
