Hobbies

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Well, apart from school (which I don't like sometimes), I like OSdeving, programming and computers in general (except HTML, PHP, making graphics/animations, databases and all that stuff related). I used to read some books and watch TV, especially crime series like Comisaar Rex, Derrick, Matlock, Renegade, even Monk and stuff like that. And I also like sleeping, sometimes I can sleep 10-14 hours... during holidays :) And uh, I also like experimenting with electricity as mentioned, it's fun and safe overall. :) And I like computer games, sometimes I play CS 1.6, Max Payne, Mafia, Half Life series and its episodes,... Can't wait for Half life 2 Episode Three and Mafia 2.

Addict, I know. 8)

OSDev, GameDev, Writing, Drawing (usually action anime. I just cant seem to get the hang of realistic rendering...)

I used to be more into Electronics and Robotics; wouldn't mind getting back into them again...

Depends, do you do it often enough to signify it as a hobby? And how kinky do you get, cause that adds to the hobbiness!

I'm not sure this is the right place to discuss such matters :)

Hi all,
[offtopic]
I've been lurking around these forums for over a year now, and never had the opportunity to post something. That's because:
1. all my questions so far were already answered by others =D>
2. I don't have any answers for other people's questions yet :oops:
So that leaves only... hobbies! This is my chance!!!
[/offtopic]
Well, as for osdeving, it has moved from "hobby level" to "obsession level" for me...
I make model ships (and occasionally airplanes) and lately I've been trying (rather unsuccessfully) to grow my own vineyard.

So I guess I'll be seeing you around :D

Hello and a belated welcome :)

This has probably already gained you a lot of respect - it means you use the search function :)
I have any answers for other people's questions yet :oops:
Nothing to be ashamed of - at least you don't guess at incorrect answers.

So that leaves only... hobbies! This is my chance!!!

Nice. I wish I had the land/time/money to do something like that :) If you send out free test samples to a few members, I'm sure we'll be only to happy to help grade your finished product :wink:

Cheers,
Adam

Well..
land I recently bought
money shouldn't be much of a problem, if you're willing to work a lot :roll:
time is my biggest problem.
And when (or rather if) I have a finished product, I'll be more than happy to trust your judgement on its quality.
That goes for osdeving too! :D

That's awesome. I wish I had the patience to do something like that. I remember doing a model airplane quite a few years ago, but it was rather simplistic. Not what you'd use if model ship/airplanes were a hobby.

Apart from all that, welcome on the forum :)

While I am not programming I spend time playing guitar, fly-fishing, messing around with electronics and robotics, spending time in the sunny outdoors and painting.
