Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
OK maybe I'll be slaughtered for posting such a question a programming forum but....
What do you all like to do for social activities on a weekend (or monday afternoon if ur a first year uni student )?
I had a few mates around tonight and am i lil tipsy to say the least (hence the strange post). We basically been drinking my home made wine and listening to House/Trance very loud all night (many people will hate me for cuch things ).
Thing is... now everyone's gone I just wanna go out clubbing (yes that's sadly my scene... hit a few bars before 1 am and then into the clubs until about 3 or so).
What kind of crowd do we have here on devnet? I'm guessing we have a few alternative/rock type fans?
EDIT | Hmm... well I think I'll go put a pizza in the oven
Family Guy -- Got three kids and wife. I usually spend the weekend fixin my house, watching movies, playing with my kids, playing guitar, drawing/painting and going to church. And of course squeezing time for devnet and web development in general. This weekend I'm putting a chainlink fence in my yard. I'm a teetotaler -- so I'm always sober but not always serious. For music I love prog rock/art rock -- Rush, Dream Theater etc...

Sorry, its just you. I've made numerous jokes about his 1,000 line MVC, true OOP version of "Hello, World", with 50 unit tests, and I haven't yet been shackled to the server.
However, in my "spare" time, I already focus most of my energy on programming - which leads me here quite often without having to be shackled. I also enjoy movies, women, and travel - but I'd put programming at over 60% of my spare time (and its also most of my day job as well).
hummm for the weekends it is drink all night, either by going to the bars or playing the best drinking game in the land - circle of death. Listing to punk durring the process is a must.
grocery shopped, posted off presents to my folks back home, spent 'quality time' with the wife, and complained how hot and muggy it was this weekend.
Usually quite nites in, trying to save money for that house purchase, and the occasional budget busting weekend out. No simpathy though d11wtq as it is self-inflected.
going to movies, or wandering around and people watching. You have to love summer in the (2nd) city
Family life does tend to lessen what you can easily do. Most of the weekend is housework, playing with the kids etc. Saying that it doesn't stop me going out clubbing when I can, my preference being Goth clubs. An advantage living where I do, is that the clubs I like are only on once a month or so, so the wife doesn't mind. Gone are the days of clubbing every Saturday in London till 7 in the morning and "losing" Sunday. Hate to think what my kid would do to me, to get me up at 08:00
Saying that I did go and see the new Batman this weekend.
My weekends don't start until noon - then it's usually 3 hours of me walking around in my housecoat. Then some gardening/mountain biking/basketball/video games. Food usually finds its way in there too.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
