I keep changing my hobbies from ticket , coin collecting to video games .

In these days my hobby is to make very old computer work again . I got some laptops from junk ( 486 and PI ) refurbished their hardware as far I could took some Linux distro that could be put on Floppies(most of those laptops are without cd rom ) and work on a ram 8 to 16 mb.Boot them and see them working . Ya mission accomplished

Lots!

Music is a main one, playing in 2 (soon to be 3) bands, DJing, playing guitar/bass/drums/keyboards, messing around in my studio, modifying guitars etc

I brew my own beer.

I'm a DIY freak, I love building my own stuff and generally destroying things with my collection of power tools, I constantly have a 'project' on the go :D

Computers infect my life as well, again I build my own and enjoy seeing what I can do with the technology I have to hand.

OMG how could one have TCP/IP communications as his hobby?

My hobbies are listening to music and learning new languages once in a while. Languages mean the real-world languages, not programming ones :P

Forgot to mention I am also an Aston Villa supporter, which really isnt a hobby but more of an affliction with the state they are in at the moment! :(

Going to work. ;)

Between running the kids around to activities, my hobbies include doing things with the computer club (Linux SIG, Board Meetings, writing articles, etc.) and playing Dungeons and Dragons (Pathfinder) when we are able to get everybody together.

Occasionally I brew beer with my daughter (she just mixes ingredients, she doesn't get to taste any of it yet ;)

There are so many things I keep telling myself I want to do, or should do, but never do. So maybe "dreaming" is one of my hobbies :D.

Of course cleaning the house, feeding the pets, yard work and making sure the paddock is ready for this spring when a/some horses may be coming our way.

Otherwise, reading forums, checking Facebook & etc. when I get a few minutes.

Reading (there are some authors that I just love, the most famous of which is Nick Hornby), music in general (DJing when I get the time), computers, and drawing (both freehand and with Photoshop, using the latter to create textures for PES6 and for rFactor which are the only games I still play from time to time).


Forgot to mention I am also an Aston Villa supporter, which really isnt a hobby but more of an affliction with the state they are in at the moment! :sad:Well, at least you have a nice strip (the black one (http://www.kityouout.com/images/astonvillaA10.jpg) with the checkers down the sides, it's one of the best I've seen this year).. :P

I have lots of hobbies I'd like to get more into, but for now my biggest one is being a dad and hubby :) But as the kiddos get older I'll get back into amateur radio and astronomy.

Outside of those computers is my biggest hobby, specifically Linux and Classic Computing.

Computers is my main hobby, old and new. I do troubbleshooting for friends and their friends, mainly on windows boxes, but some of them I have converted to Linux. I do some self studying of programming languages, and for relaxation, I fiddle with my actual C64. And as a last resort, I have a 30 year old car in my garrage, that needs some tender love and care. :-)

There was a point in my life when they were Warhammer, MTG, and D&D.

These days I mostly play Ultimate, read manga, and write computer games.

I also "draw" and "play guitar/piano" but I certainly don't do that enough to call it a real hobby.
