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

    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! :)

      Rock climbing is my main passion at the moment. I rediscovered it after a 15 year break and can't keep myself away from it now. I juggle a bit although not as much as I used to due to the club I used to go to closing. Getting outdoors is the big thing though. I can't stand being stuck indoors for more minutes than I have to. I'll run, play tennis, cycle etc any excuse for fresh air. Russell

          When I'm away from work I Design and code and play with algorithms...you know, fun stuff. At work all I do is go to meetings, write plans and procedures and give status on why I haven't finished coding.

            Astronomy, photography and sailing. And very occasionally I manage to do all three together! :)

                Sing in a 100-member classical music group, support website of same, work out, Big Bros and Sisters & Habitat for Humanity - volunteer work, sell real estate part time, keep up with music, try to keep the wife happy in a variety of ways (priority 1) .

                What does an agnostic, dyslexic, insomniac do? He lies awake at night wondering if there's a dog.

                  Woodworking - I like the tactile nature of it as a counterpoint to the abstract nature of programming. Especially turning, which has a very Zen like feel when you're watching the waste spiral off in a simultaneous act of creation and destruction. I also like spending time with my 4 kids (3 girls and 1 boy all 5 and under). I play board/strategy games (Race for the Galaxy, Puerto Rico, Power Grid, Cutthroat Caverns, Roborally, etc), RPGs, and every once in a while a racing game on a PS2 or PC.

                        Playing bass guitar (and some electric/acoustic guitar), saxophone (alto), modding/playing videogames, running, reading (just about anything)...and of course staring blankly thinking of algorithms while my family wonders what I'm doing :laugh:.

                            slang terms not withstanding... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_American_flute[^] I play a double flute, two flutes in one, one flute is a single note compliment to the other flute which is pentatonic in scale. You can play one, or both simultaneously. I have about a dozen others now, but that is my favorite as it was made just for me.

                                          I crochet, work on my MBA, various crafts, avoid housework, veggie gardening, lawn mowing, sell crafts and consulting on Etsy.com, blog for cash, watch Sci-Fi, swim, camp, and home improvement. After this last round of renovations my assignment is to build a music server for the house with speakers in each room and an arcade machine. I think I want to do a 2 in 1. I try my best not to touch a computer on off-hours though some of my activities require it. There's a laptop permanently perched on the arm of the couch for that reason. I also keep a small bedroom crammed with craft supplies, old computer parts, my desktop computer, books and toys. The toys are mine - my kids are 4-legged and furry - 2 dogs outside and 1 inside cat. When I work on computers for friends I thank my lucky starts I'm not a proctologist! ;P
