Your spare time activities...

[magicfan241]

...so what to you guys do when you aren't doing DC catting or work/school?

You all know (or probably could find out) that I work with the Internet Book Database of Fiction in my spare time (with Brad, kiltannen, SuperE and a bunch of other people that the oldest members of the forum may recognize).

I also know that Dyy works on the new-fangled motorized bikes. (I prefer mine with foot power, not gas power).

So what do YOU do in your spare time?

[Bok]

What spare time would that be then.....

I tend to sleep when I have spare time :sleepy:

Now what is that?

Kidding.

Most of my spare time is used for reading articles on Wikipedia and hanging out with my girlfriend in front of the idiot box!

[QIbHom]

Reading (offline, even), fixing my house, stonecarving, hand spinning and avoiding housecleaning (until it gets to the home repair stage).

When my Machine Ain't Doing DC it's gaming (JO:TR / JO:E - my Squad [possibly soon to be ex-squad] - click on the cute link at the bottom for their site) or some thing that requires a whole shed of dedicated Proc time, like backing up Audio CD's... Watching DVD's,read and Sleeping...

hmmm spare time, haha unlike most of you I have tons of that.

Well im a college student that has class on Tuesdays and Thursdays only!! With that said you'd figure I'd have a job....but nope. So that leaves me with lots of free time....

I go to the gym and lift weights 5 days a week. I'm a gym rat... I play basketball/streetball a couple times a week. I box on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. On the weekends I'll play homerun derby with some friends.

Now non sports wise I like to drink. Usually 2-3 times a week and its usually weekends at partys or just chillin with friends. We like to go out and do all kinds of things.

Sadly... I have to say that I'm in the same boat here.

Jeeps 4x4 work and activities, and walking. I try to walk at least 6 miles a day.

[Moogie]

I've got two kids. 10 and 7. Both girls. They are in softball right now (thankfully, I'm not coaching this year). They are also in dance and getting ready for a recital. It keeps me pretty busy.

I like to write...I do that on my blog, generally after they go to bed.

You take it where you can get it.

and walking the dogs.

[LAURENU2]

Restarting stalled DC nodes and then Restarting other stalled DC nodes and when I run out of
stalled DC nodes I go to sleep and wait for more stalled DC nodes so I can start Restarting stalled DC nodes
Again

I'm laughing at the "restart stalled nodes" bit because I've been doin that too! Sometimes I don't know if its because I overclocked the thing or whether it just decided it needed a rest from Think, got a power surge or what! In any case if its red in the FADProgress its time to go hunt it down!

Besides DC? Messin with Linux is definitely my latest hobby. I setup some blades and learned about netbooting, now I'm building a TIVO-like device using a PVR150 capture card and the free MythTV software running on a Linux O/S. What a challenge LIRC has been.

Hmm...7pm...its exercise time!

I'm not sure there is such a thing as spare time.

Forgot to mention my new favorite ride! 0-60 in 3 secs! Joker's Jinx

[Scootenalongnow]

I can't afford to fly anymore so the next best thing is the simulator. I'm not an avid gamer but a 5 hour flight in the sim will kill a lot of time otherwise, I can be found tinkering in my garage. Woodworking is fun!

[Dyyryath]

As magicfan241 already said, I spend a great deal of my free time trying to go fast on motorcycles:



I also spend time programming, wakeboarding & snowboarding (when the seasons allow for it), gaming (FPS on the PC mostly, though I've got an XBox & PS2 that I play occasionally), tinkering with design work (website & graphics), playing racquetball/tennis/golf, and occasionally even going to the local skatepark (where I'm nearly always the oldest guy around ).

[Paratima]

Photography. It's also my work, but not the same. Work is portraits, products, restaurant & hotel advertising and the like. Hobby is trying to find the perfect photograph. I think it's in my camera and I just need to figure out how to get at it.

Kayaking. Sea touring kayak, not the white water type. I prefer tooling around between islands in the Gulf and little bays and occasionally sneaking up on, and scaring the hell out of, turtles.



PS. I don't go NEARLY as fast as Dyy!
