I think that...
1. all my time is spare;
2. I almost always code;
1 & 2 => I code in my spare time.
Done!

When I'm not studying for my accounting course I'm trying to write C code for my R-Pi

As a hobbyist, all my coding is done during my spare time but not all my spare time is taken up by coding.

Same here. Coding is my sole creative outlet.

Sometimes I feel the drive, and I spend most of my free time coding, then when that wears off I stop for a while. Usually lasts a week or two at a time.

I am that way too. It seems that I'll have an idea or something, and will spend most of my time for about a week or so programming. Then it wears off and I'll go back to playing games or watching movies in my spare time.

In particular I have a project I started more than three years ago. After two months I had about ninety percent of the functionality functioning, but then I had second thoughts about the other ten percent so I stopped woking on it until I could make up my mind. However, in the last few weeks I've spent some time on it -- I altered the Data Access Layer to support SQL Server CE as well as SQL Server.

Well it's not as if there is anything else to do?
Exceptions may be when one of your innumerable nieces decide to land themselves on you for a day.

True, what else is there in life?
I have only 2 nieces - both of whom are (very) bright and keep me on my toes. One is two years into the workforce and the other starts work after she graduates next June. They're also excellent bakers and take delight in ensuring I will never lose my developer tummy. I'm blessed, in so many ways.

I agree

I code, therefore I am

I fear you're confusing philosophy[^] with religion.

I do help out people with a few philanthropic and community service coding utilities during my free time. You can check out one of my chanting utilities here:

But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,

but I do code in my spare time.
I had gained 20lbs so I took up hiking, backpacking, biking, kayaking to try and get in shape.
I've managed to lose some weight but the holidays have not helped a bit.

I have so many things I don't have to do on the week-ends ... and coding is one of them.
I use that time to change my mind, refresh up the mind and body, do all the things that interest me that I cannot do while coding during the week.
If I want to "learn new stuff" just stay a bit longer at work.
Nihil obstat

I used to code on my extra time, if my wife allowed me to do so...

I know that one! "You're ALWAYS sitting at the computer"
Why can't I be applicable like John? - Me, April 2011 ----- Beidh ceol, caint agus craic againn - Seán Bán Breathnach ----- Da mihi sis crustum Etruscum cum omnibus in eo! ----- Just because a thing is new don’t mean that it’s better - Will Rogers, September 4, 1932

Or the more extreme version: "Either this computer goes, or I will!".
What shall I say? The computer is still here.
