Something in between coding and relaxing darenkov9-Nov-05 14:06 darenkov 9-Nov-05 14:06  During the week most of the work I do (albeit interesting) is not what I would call fun. Therefore, I like to use the weekend to do dev and work on projects that I enjoy (which is a form of relaxation itself), but also relax and do other things. So 50% programming, 25% gaming, and 25% relaxing. Re: Something in between coding and relaxing Bob Stanneveld9-Nov-05 18:52 Bob Stanneveld 9-Nov-05 18:52  Dude! You spend 1 complete day programming, 1/2 day gaming and 1/2 day other stuff. I assume here that you play computergames instead of board games. Is your girlfriend OK with this? Where do you find time for your social contacts a.k.a. friends and family? Anyway, I wish that I had so much time to code for myself. Would speed up my projects a lot.

She is really understanding though, so it is all cool. She knows I love me computer....however ask me in 6 months once the baby pops out. I might have to cut that ratio back to 25% programming 25% is enough for my family. There aren't many of them here. Just parents and sisters. what ratio's do you spend on the weekend? Re: Something in between coding and relaxing Bob Stanneveld10-Nov-05 2:47 Bob Stanneveld 10-Nov-05 2:47  He, My girlfriend is less understanding when it comes to spending my time behind my computer. I'm still in college and I do my homework during the weekdays at night. It figures that she wants my time in the weekend. My programming ratio in the weekend is 0% unless I've got some urgent deadline right after the weekend. During the weekdays, may programming ratio is 50% when it comes to private projects and homework.

One year ago with my wife we had a baby and everything changed forever. It is not bad, but forget about programming and playing computer games or having a "personal" life. I still do it but the only time I found left is from 23:00PM to 3:00AM no kidding!!. Enjoy it, now that you can.

But when you have no view to enjoy, neither from home nor from work, then the weekend is the only time to change and relax my eyes. sleep Run sleep do homework (goto school the next moring without sleep) Timothy the lion8-Nov-05 11:23 Timothy the lion 8-Nov-05 11:23  Saturday: I tend to get up at 11 go to a cross sountry meet run hard then sleep sunday: I tend to do homework untill midnight then get up at 7:30 to goto school though I try to get coding in;) hit next and pray Explore the wonders Trance Junkie7-Nov-05 23:59 Trance Junkie 7-Nov-05 23:59  Time to time I work on trance tracks and that be all weekend, also I visit girls have a good time hang out with my friends go clubbing all night !!! if they not around I have a go and brush up my c# skills explore the wonders of direct – x or open gl and when I really have nothing to do, I build DIY Subwoofer projects and speaker systems for home theater systems.

It will be a sad day when CListCtrl is not a response. As to why, well, that's a different story. Marc VS2005 Tips & Tricks -- contributions welcome!

It's only been a few months since I started participating in surveys, and from this limited experience my understanding is that some dweeb or the other always asked a question about that goddamned control in the survey messageboard and somebody decided it was too funny to stop. Or is it something else? Cheers, Vikram. http://www.geocities.com/vpunathambekar Google talk: binarybandit After all is said and done, much is said and little is done. Re: Most funny, but also sad J. Dunlap10-Nov-05 20:31 J. Dunlap 10-Nov-05 20:31  Well, it started out because people would type search terms into the "text answer" textbox, thinking it was a search textbox (and incidentally they still do but not as often). How they mistook it for that, I don't know - they must have just looked for any textbox on the page and started typing into it! So, one fateful day, Chris Maunder posted this post[^]. Then, some guy thought it would be funny to put "CListCtrl" into the textbox to poke fun at the phenomenon, and it became a trend, which has carried on for over 2 years.

Sweet... Scott me up beamy! It's seasonal Nish Nishant7-Nov-05 1:49 Nish Nishant 7-Nov-05 1:49  Sometimes, you have to code during weekends! Sometimes, you have to spend time with your woman. Sometimes you have to run around getting things done. My preference would be to relax, watch a couple of movies, have a few drinks, talk with Smitha, hang around town with Smitha, enjoy Smitha's cooking, do some Lounging etc. Re: It's seasonal Anna-Jayne Metcalfe7-Nov-05 5:26 Anna-Jayne Metcalfe 7-Nov-05 5:26  I know exactly what you mean. The lousy weather this weekend pretty much discouraged us from going out. In a way, it was good timing as it we were planning to build our first release candidate of Visual Lint this weekend anyway. In fact, we got so engrossed in it that we didn't even get around to watching the House of Flying Daggers[^] DVD which Beth bought for me on Friday. Normally things are a bit more chilled. The occasional movie, some experimental cooking (I'm no slouch in the kitchen, but Beth has to be seen to be believed) and even a walk by the beach when we're in Bournemouth together. All in all life's good right now. Even if I don't get time to think about it!

Scary stuff! Sony deserve to get taken to the cleaners over it. I'm not too worried about probs with DVDs at the moment tho, as I use a dedicated DVD player.
