Pretty much.
I actively maintain a dozen[^] (completely free) apps outside my job at a startup, so consequently have little time for anything else (except regular exercise). Most of my household drudgery (cooking, cleaning and laundry) is outsourced. Allows for a very efficient life.

And awesome apps they are!
Which brings up a question - do you know of a free webservice that I can use to consume stock ticker info? I don't care if it's time delayed, I want to use the data simply as a quasi-realtime stream for other purposes.

Yahoo stock ticker. I use it for my Python scripts(for the same purpose I guess).

my outside projects are the only way that I get to learn new and interesting things.
plus to me it's like playing video games so sitting down to program is equal to sitting down and playing games all the time.

I can try out new technologies without reason on home projects. At work I have to justify them. 
Node.js anyone?

I am running an open source project (see the signature), but it's been pretty stable for years and I really spend very little time on it nowadays. I'll convert the code to C++ 11 some day, maybe.

No, I have too much other stuf going on, things I enjoy more. Funny thing is, I have Vusual Studio installed on my home machine with the intent to look into writing VST plug ins.
Every time I open up VS I get distracted by the guitar or have to play for a commnd performance.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Either I code at home or I code at work. The two are different in a sense. When coding at home, I have personal goals to achieve. When coding at work however, I'm coding for someone else, so there's a huge coding schedule for me.
I do have the personal time to do things while the database is running at night, so that's when I do some personal coding.
Also, I try and get away from code on Sundays. (No Post/Code on Sundays, if you get where I'm going with this)

I usually have hard and long days at work, so when I arrive home (or to the hotel room) I don't really feel in the mood of continue coding.
If I am home, I prefer to do something with my girlfriend or my friends. If I am out in a project I do so long days that I only have time to have dinner, relax a bit watching a film or having a walk and going to sleep to be fit on the next day.
I actually have some ideas in the queue, but if I continue having this rythm I guess someone else will code them before (it already happened to me once). I know, the day has 24 hours and I should manage my time better. My biggest problem is that I am so good at what I do, that I always am sent to burning projects to play fireman and save the "day" (or month). Seeing it positive it is an honour and I am pleased to be need, on the other hand... it sometimes is a kick in the balls

In fact the 4-6 hours I have to work/learn after office hours is not event close to what I liked to...
I have so much subjects on my list that I will die way before I'll get to it's middle...

I code in the shower.
I code in Tesco.
I code in my sleep.
But then: I work for myself, and I am a hard boss to please...

I code things which aren't very useful to anybody outside the home; such as my Python script for checking the real, £ value of my shareholdings in real time, or the security camera system that detects faces and sends them up to my ftp(so if the PC gets nicked I see who and when).
Unfortunately a few people now use my text encryptor, so I will be trying again to submit it as an article here.
I only code in my sleep when overworked. It's a way of background processing my task batch.

I just sit on the side of the road with a sign that says, "Will code for food."

Do you work on software projects outside work hours?

Work and study. That is my current routine. I have no time to work on software projects.

As running a software business solution consulting business, I'm no longer coding during the business hours due to my other work related engagements, however, coding software solution after the business hour seems becoming my biggest hobbies I'm currently enjoying the most :P
