A smut laden open goal....

*giggle* SY01 said "open".

A smut laden open goal, well done.

I shall resist the urge however.

This sort of thing?

[suityou01]

Depends what the position is, doesn't it?

Get up and leave telling them you don't answer puerile questions with no relevance to the position

The Daily WTF - those who don't know history are destined to repeat it.

I have a little entry in that site

I once was asked to name what sites I read on the web to keep up to date and I gave a few places, he wrote them down,

"and what was the last article you read on these sites?"

"ehh... well..."

Got the gig but the moral of the story is never over extend in an interview.

After vendor sites

The Register - actually has some surprisingly good pieces on technology. Don't mention BOFH.

Coding Horror - see both of above.

If you ever find yourself interviewing NickFitz, I'd ask something else if you don't want to be there for two days.

Lol.

To be honest, don't ask him anything about anything if you don't want to be there for two days.

In answer to the OP, I have never ever been asked about what websites I use. Must be specific to the role.

[OwlHoot]

I often ask that one when I'm interviewing - not really looking for a 'correct' answer ...

I spend an embarrassing amount of time on connectionstrings.com

[Clippy]

Surely, we all only have one meaningful site in our lives - CUK.

OP, when asked this question by interviewers you should use it as an opportunity to sell CUK to them.

[doodab]

Vendor sites e.g. oracle, ibm etc
Books 24x7
Safari
ACM digital library
Google

And then lots of other stuff for personal things.
