Using a computer after work
-
Since I work as a coder, I do not use a computer at home. Well, almost, because I use it to play or make music, but I do not sit in front of a computer doing things, which is what I mean by "using a computer". :doh: If I have a personal issue which I have to do using a computer, then I do it in work hours, as a break between completing and starting tasks. :-O I am curious how other developers do.

I use my computer both at work and home. I occasionally take work home, if a deadline is important to me and closing in. Or if there's just a puzzle worth pursuing and I know I'm hot on the trail. Games at home. Code project usually at home with an occasional dip into it at work. I work as a contractor and often am in exactly the wrong kind of position to even have the appearance of not keeping my nose to the grindstone. And they usually place me such that everyone can see my screen. I imagine a lot of my clients have been burnt before or are simply worried that a contractor might have other plans than work on a given day. I expect some have had contractors sitting there doing work for someone else while they were supposed to be working on their project. When I try to work on any of my numerous personal projects; well most of them have something to do with a computer.

Real one. This August is filled with fireworks, religious musics, national anthems, and many more.
Excuse me for my improper grammar and typos. It's because English is my primary language, not my first language. My first languages are C# and Java. VB, ASP, JS, PHP and SQL are my second language. Indonesian came as my third language. My fourth language? I'm still creating it, I'll let you know when it's done! :-D

For the national anthems, yes, I do celebrate Indonesia's independence day with my friends. But that's just a mere 2 days (16 and 17).

Bloody hell, I have a more powerful system at home than I do at work, I have all the latest release tools installed along with beta stuff I may be testing. I do my research from home as the net nazi tend to slap a restriction on random useful sights. I have absolutely no personal stuff on the work computer (POS that it is) and browsing tends to restricted to coding related sights and some news sites. I would assume that you either have a low work load (and can therefore do your R&D at work), have little or no intention of progressing beyond your current capabilities or are just not a dedicated geek.

I came into work due to being a hobby programmer, so I still keep that up to some degree, though not as much as before I got a job in computing. I also use a computer at home for general web browsing, games, forums etc which aren't work related, as it doesn't feel fair to charge for that time (plus we have a moderately strict web policy). CodeProject and other coding sites are okay, though.

I'm in the same boat, except checking e-mail, music, looking for gigs, but I try not to use it much.

I get to maintain loose office hours, which means I do a lot of work from home. I love what I do so often it’s not really like working, more like playing. :)
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

I am still in college so I am stuck with the stupid things. Though I try to unplug on the weekends when homework is light and gasp go outside.

I spend my days working with websites for a State Agency in Classic Asp and ASP.NET. But at night I'm a PHP junkie, doing personal websites and a few websites for others. This only after a couple hours of alone time with the wife, in the pool and a couple cold ones. :laugh: Jack

I have a week vacation at the moment, but I have been programming for the last 2.5 days straight :-O (with sleep though :)). I like to develop rather at home then work, no body disturbs you and can make your own planning what to do when. Plus that I can play the music a lot louder ;-)

I love coding, but I just don't like computers. I have so many exciting things to do after work, that I don't have time to "progress behind my current software-related capabilities". I have got 12% or so in a geek test, so yes, I am not very "dedicated". ;)

I work as a programmer, and sometimes I come home and work on code of my own :-D So, sometimes I can be in front of a computer from 9 AM till 2 in the morning.

After hours sit in front a PC, go to the gym and move your body a little is great. I also play one of my guitars, it´s so good to keep you away from your job´s problems and see others perpectives of life.

As others have said. It started as a hobby for me. Currently at home I'm investigating mobile dev and trying to get an old pc to act as a htpc with mythbuntu. All fun stuff! Plus at home I use my smartQ to catch up on Google Reader and read a book. But all home PC activities have to be sanctioned by the missus...
Er, I can't think of a funny signature right now. How about a good fart to break the silence?

Hi. I am 41 and I have been a coder since I was 13. I am starting to notice that I am postponing doing my weekly weekend project time and again. Also I stopped doing experimental code at home three months ago. Nothing made me stop I just did not want to.
