By doing just about anything that doesn't involve computers! Watching video or TV on a Media Center PC & playing on a game console doesn't count :-D .

I wonder how you can relax by watching a screen after spending hours watching one! ;P

Finish my code so that I don't have to worry about it anymore. Really, how else can you relax?

I have an old 1962 Chrysler Valiant, (Plymouth for the Americans). Either driving it or fixing it. There is no modern technology on it, so working on it is NOTHING like my Job. state of the art technology on this was pushbutton gear selection. John

Consuming large volumes of ethanol while throwing pointy objects at a remote round board on the wall works well. Whacking a white ball with a stick in apparently random directions which sometimes results in multi-colored balls falling into randdom pockets attached to the side of a felt-covered table also relieves stress. But you can't beat kicking the daylights out of large red belt on a padded floor for sheer relaxation. Sometimes they kick back, though; gotta watch your back. On weekends I like to sit on the porch watching the doves fight over the feed I put out for them, while decorating the pigeons who dare to intrude with colorful bits of plastic attached to 5" hardened wire spikes and propelled by compressed air. When I run out of pigeons - they do eventually learn - I like to play with steel, cutting and grinding, welding and grinding some more, to make things that would probably be cheaper to buy. But it is far less satisfying to buy than to make it myself, and that has a regenerative power in itself. When the power is out and I can't play with power tools, putzing around in the yard, tending the flowers and grading the yard with a rake is extraordinarily relaxing, and it wears me out enough to sleep deeply. But then, I'm not a programmer; I'm an engineer who sometimes programs. Maybe that makes a difference.

Are you living near forest? Where are you in Sweden?

after about each cycle of 2200 man-hours I like to take a holiday and go hicking. No laptop, cell phone, ... just me, my wife our backpacks and our two little feet against the forces of nature... :-\ .

I buy a cup of Cofee in store and drive to one of the many Parks in Canada and sip it by a stream and river. Refreshing except mosquitos and ticks. This part of Canada is beautiful in Summer.
