Using a computer after work

I like the way you're doing that with your website. Maybe I'll set mine up and offer a title or two that I've written over the years. Good idea. I, too, have been 100% programmer for my whole career. (35+ years now). -Max :D
Writing freeware has been a very rewarding (and a huge learning) experience for me. I'm very grateful for my users' suggestions. It's only due to their feedback that my apps are pretty popular. For example, if you Google "weathermate", you'll notice that it's more popular than the Dow Corning product (that's been around far longer than I have). :) /ravi

Since I no longer work all my computer use is in one sense, at least, 'after work'. Even when I was gainfully employed programming/computing was one of my hobbies and therefore took up at least part of my leisure time.

I'm with you Henry. I am now relunctantly retired. I was hoping to work to 70 but was kicked out at 67. I have spent the last 18 months learning ASP.NET MVC3, C# and Entity Framework to build a website for the bowls club I belong to. I am always on my machine tinkering with one thing and another. My Dad, at 88, is also on his PC most days, but he's not programming though. Roger Hampson

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.

After work I mainly use my home computer to process and enhance astronomical and personal photos that I have taken. I also edit home videos and burn them to DVD/Blu-Ray. Surfing and some research (locating car parts, boat parts, telescope parts), etc. is usually done on my iPad. It's kinda irritating when, after completing your order, the website says, "Please print this screen for your records". Thanks a lot, Steve Jobs! Even though I am a web developer during the day I also wrote and maintain two simple web sites for my astronomy club, the Quad Cities Astronomical Society], and a site for my High School Reunion. They're pretty stable now so there isn't really much to do there.
