How do programmers relax?

[Stuart Dootson]

And Paul Scholes, of course! Although he's a bit small for the American game :-) And too English to get away with it!

I used to do the same, go along to boulder at a local wall and then after meeting a few people started on the roped stuff. You spend half the next day trying to stretch your fingers straight at first. Where do you climb, I didn't think there was much about in the Ipswich area? I was in Bungay on holiday in may and had to go a whole week without any climbing at all. It's such a great sport when you get going, gets you to places you wouldn't normally see and teaches you a lot about yourself.

I prefer a nap, else I would be resting with a novel. :-)

There's a climbing wall at Copleston High School in Ipswich (I believe it's called The Leading Edge), although I've never actually used that one. The main one I go to is in Stowmarket called The Cragg [^]. Like I said, haven't been to the Ipswich one, but I've heard they don't have any top ropes and don't allow bouldering, so you have to partner up with someone who knows how to lead. The Cragg on the other had has one side dedicated to bouldering (wall is only 4m high) and the other side as climbing with top ropes already hung. It's about £5 for 90 minutes, but I've been in there most of the day and no one's said anything, just keep friendly with the staff and they don't seem to care how long you stay for :)

Fly R/C airplanes and helicopters. Very relaxing once you get over the "pucker factor". :-D

Either coding for fun in a better environment than work (kicked back in an easy chair with classic rock playing in the background) Or Vegas, baby!

The difference is you dont interact with the later, it does all the job for you and you can relax just watching and eventually falling asleep. The best for me

gotta be movies, and when not movies i like to go carp fishing and sometimes just a mad drive to know where and back is good. especially if something is really screwing with my head

[Alberto Bencivenni]

Hey, I have two kids and I actually relax programming :-)

Well... I usually play some PC games... strategy games. Or code something. I don't know, I feel much more relaxed than watching TV or doing something else.

[Lim Yuxuan]

Go get some tibits to eat or make myself a sandwich.

[agi20dla]

I do woodworking. My latest project was a full entertainment center that mounts on the wall around my plasma. :) agi20dla

[Yuri Vital]

Just to take care of my vegetable garden... :-D

[DKEnc9_8cvh]

Play with my pet... until I get mad of all the scratching!

[JTWhit]

Hah.. I like the write more code response... Yup.. I guess that would be me as well. After coding for work all day, it is nice to code something that is more along the lines of fun coding, or self benificial. Besides that I like doing physical things that gets me off of the chair like 16 ounce curls at the local pub. Oh, wait bar stool.. hmmm.. I usually stand up or shoot pool... :-D

[Zyklonb666]

I take a weekend on the farm, no electricity, no tech. just beer, sun and beautiful landscapes.

[radialronnie]

Hiking in the Rockys or running on the open praire for hours. :) nothing better than swapping out mental exercise/work for pyshical exercise.
