Hobbies

I'm curious - I still love to code but I also love to do other stuff in my spare time (when I get any!). What do you guys do and, if you could, would you swap coding for your primary hobby if you could make money?

Karate, trick roping, gun spinning, whip cracking, fire whips, fire staff spinning, fire poi spinning, fire breathing, reading. Yes I would probably swap... :-D

Beer, blather and general indolence. Or to translate that into the "Hobbies and interests" section entry: "Chess, cryptic crosswords and literature."

I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I play Bass, but I wouldn't want to get paid for anything I do purely for enjoyment, the moment you do that it becomes work not fun... (I learnt that with electronics and programming!)

Just trying to balance out the nerd image people get when you tell them you're a computer programmer. :laugh:

PLUGH! XYZZY! Dredging my memory for the first version I played. It was written in FORTRAN as I recall, ported from DEC-something to Interdata 32bit. Late 1970s? Played on a TTY so you could cheat by looking back to previous runs. One of my colleagues mapped the cave on about 6 sheets of 11x15 line printer paper. He had immense trouble with the "all alike" maze. ;P ;P Cheers, Peter
Software rusts. Simon Stephenson, ca 1994. So does this signature. me, 2012
We played on a TI Mini back around 1979 - after work every night some of us would stay back and play. Then I discovered how to send a message to another terminal and we tortured one of the guys by occasionally sending 'A small dwarf with bags of gold runs past you to the west' messages while he was playing ;)

Playing guitar and drink beer, yes I would switch if I could earn what I do coding to play guitar and drink beer with the same guys playing what we do now. I like what I do, but if I could code for a hobby, maybe I could enjoy it more. :)
It was broke, so I fixed it.

I do some coding in my spare time (arduino stuff, a bit of this and that) and I used to spend a lot of my spare time riding my motorcycle, but since getting knocked off about 5 years ago I haven't really gt around to replacing the 'bike. These days I spend most of my spare time volunteering at my local amateur theatre on the lighting crew. Nine shows a year, each lasting two weeks per month, keeps us pretty busy.

Besides privateering, biking and photography are some of my hobbies. In a former life I even was a professional photographer :cool:

Unfortunately I chose a hobby of Continuous Improvement. The benefit to my primary job has been great... And luckily I have photos of my family... I am confident I would recognize most of them in a lineup. :laugh:

Harrrr :cool:

I got an Arduino a couple of months ago and am having fun with that. I would not want to make a career of it.

Archaeology (a former career and passion), with which I'm happy to just supplement my pay but otherwise it pays too little, has no job security, typically offers no health insurance, and you end up living out of hotels a lot despite having a perfectly fine home of your own that you pay for. Also, as evidenced by my full second refrigerator, there is my passion for beer hunting and drinking, especially New England IPAs (yeah, I'm one of those guys and unapologetic about it because they taste so damn good)... and (duh) I would love to get paid to do that, but also because it would offset the medical bills I will incur later in life due to all the beer drinking. Oddly, the more I do either of those hobbies the less I want to be coding.

Race around in the woods on offroad motorcycles, target shoot, make something cool in the shop when I have the time. I'm happy making money coding.

* Photography * Chainmaille * Macrame * Creative writing * Old house maintenance The photography has been a lifelong hobby that I'm now trying to turn into a business. Not sure if I'd do it full time even if I could -- if I did, I'd only find that coding becomes a hobby. The chainmaille has also been a lifelong hobby, although it's been on the back burner ever since I broke my ring cutter. I've been substituting with macrame a bit, and it's fun too. It should get interesting when I make a new ring cutter this summer as I'm sure I'll end up merging the two. Creative writing recently added itself to my list of hobbies. I've always wanted to give it a try, but now the characters keep wanting more bits of their story told. I'm a bit concerned this hobby will take over my life. Lastly, if you have an old house, you already know that maintaining it is a hobby :)
I live in Oregon, and I'm an engineer.
