What do people here like to do when they are away from work? I like working with my hands, enjoying gadgetry, and traveling.

A teeny bit of woodworking, a ton of piano practice, and more programming (my midi sequencer) Oh yeah, and trying to get my son off his butt (and me off mine) - a little hiking and such :) http://shazware.com/piano/rig.html[^]

Gym workouts, Badminton, Chess, and Computer games. Too little time for me these days to do any of those things. :(

I play saxophone, some games (Wii, XBox 1, PC) and currently am going to try out saxophone repairs... I've gotten an old soprano-saxophone which had been in it's case for 2 decades, which needs some work done... (complete overhaul) Oh yeah, read books (mostly while commuting), and also going to give musical arranging/composing a go in the very near future...

Listening to music, reading, and hanging out on CP.

I used to enjoy photograpy, building models, word wood working and gardening. Now, I just hang out in the soapbox. :~
Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

What is word working? Some kind of spelling championship?

That's really cool. Mostly had been HO scale, been thinking about O scale now, and maybe G scale in the yard. My dad-in-law is a part of the Northeast Ohio Steamers and the 1-inch gauge they use looks really cool. Only if I had more yard :-\

I have an N scale, which I got for my 9th or 10th birthday. I'll probably have to clean the engines up to get them going again. I have around 20 meters of rails, I think, but some are broken (I was PLAYING with it as a kid), so I'll probably get around 10 meters. Well, I am actually thinking about selling it. But I'll have to repair the engines first, I guess.

I've not heard of them, I am in to heavy metal and hard rock.
Christian Graus No longer a Microsoft MVP, but still happy to answer your questions.
I play also guitar - electric and classical, have children (3 daughters) and do kungfu. There is a lot beside programming :-) @Christian: This is for sure the best orientation for e-guitar. What are your favorite guitar players? cheers Hiro

Scottish Country Dancing: demonstrating it at festivals has taken me from home in England ;) to Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, Denmark, The Netherlands, The Czech Republic and even Mongolia! It's great for exercising the mind (learning the formations) as well as the body and is great FUN! See: this[^]

Only a kit one, but even that was pretty cool... Where do you get info/resources?
The Make website and blog[^] is pretty good I think.

After work I'm riding my motorbike, playing beachvolleyball with friends (in summer only ;)) or just sitting around in pubs trying to solve the problems of the world with the help of some pints of ale :-D Many years ago a played E-guitar in a heavy metal band, but we were not very successful. Currently I'm planning a 3-week-travel through south-east-europe via motorbike. Maybe I will arrive Bulgaria at the Black Sea :rolleyes:

Playing games, soccer (when I manage to form a team), some coding, documentaries, internet, listening music (few years ago I used to play too), occasional hiking... I think that's it.

About 75-98% of all programmers I know, spend their free time with more work or something, that keeps fingers busy: Console games(Wii/PS/Arcade), Instruments(Guitar/flute), Gadgets(fixing stuff, creating stuff). The reason for that: It's a good practice for fingers and usually pleasant for others. Myself: (GameCube/PS2/PC) Gaming, Playing Guitar, Photo and 3D Rendering.. but usually - solving other people problems with IT (additional money income ;) ). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't see much difference between piano player and programmer: they both requires precision and speed of fingers. Oh.. yea.. one difference: programmer can listen to different music, while piano player, only to what he plays himself. :rolleyes:

As a kid, my dad and I were really into model railroading, and I have been trying to get back into it. I have toyed with the idea of having computer control signals, etc, and really geek it out :-\

What do people here like to do when they are away from work? Hmm . . . when i'm not working over time :sigh: & not coding for fun, and not fixing friends or friends of friends devices, I train for my ATPL (Transport Pilots License), play the wii, hike & bike, oh and having a few cold beers! :)
