Send me your landline number Kiwi! Michael Martin Australia "I controlled my laughter and simple said "No,I am very busy,so I can't write any code for you". The moment they heard this all the smiling face turned into a sad looking face and one of them farted. So I had to leave the place as soon as possible." - Mr.Prakash 24/04/2004

Depends what you mean by "working hours". I do eight hours a day for my salary (if more than four people have to do two hours overtime a day, you're short staffed, so hire someone), but have no shortage of other projects, that I work on in the evenings.

:laugh: Not my actual boss, more so ones I've had in the past and many I have been told about. Also, I think I've had a similar conversation with dozens of other coders in the past. Me: Have you considered an O.R. Mapper for this simple data access? Other Coder: I'd like to but, we are waiting for Object Spaces to come out from MS. Me: Why? Other Coder: Because it's from MS?

I think it is all rather individual, based both on the person's individual nature and the job that he/she does. I have two different kinds of work at home, I take both very seriously. On deadline crunches, I will do my usual office work on a laptop or my home machine at home (this has also been done in the halls of the LA convention center during a conference, and many other locations). The other type of home-work is pure R&D. This is where I can take proposals that have been turned down and do it, or I can take an idea that no one believes will work, and make it work. I can innovate in ways that work would never risk my time, because I am too important to risk on whims of fancy. But some of our best code comes out of whims of fancy. No one paid for both my line-of-sight analysis or my intercept prediction algorithms, because in both instances no one believed they could be improved beyond what exists (which was passable, but not desirable). any work at home I can put down any time I want, per se. Though in some instances I need the extra time, or work desperately needs the extra time. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

I've looked briefly at the debugger and gave it up, luckily the work I do is to port the shit from unix over to windows. .net is a box of never ending treasures, every day I get find another gem.
