Learning new skills vs. Family

[Rama Krishna Vavilala]

Not in my case. I wake up way early these days 4 AM. My daughter wakes up at around 6:30 or 7:00 AM. SO I have full 2 hrs.

The problem is when you've been on the toilet long enough for your legs to go numb...

I have a netbook and do just that. Sometimes in the loo if it looks like being a while! Sometimes I go to bed early and just play around with a few things. (No, stop it I didn't mean That. I even do some dev work on it, although it is hmmm...difficult. (Not from a technical point, but because the screen is small).

Lemonade Arse! I get that sometimes. (My son called it Lemonade Bottom when he was young, and the name stuck, (and evolved)).

I've never known it by any name other than "numb ass/arse". Still, Lemonade ass/arse sounds funny :-D

There is such a thing as too much information. :)

For those of married with children, how do you dedicate time to learning new stuff?

Learning new technology is a work related activity. What's wrong with dedicating 3-5 work hours a week to reading techincal books?

Not wrong there. Too many people got into this "I must work long hours for free" and "when I get home with the little time I have I must learn the next big thing that may or may not be a hit". As you get older, you get wiser. Work for free - "no way baby!". Learn outside company hours - "Why, the conmpany should be putting me on a training course".
