Here here!! Most fun I've had relation to "professional" endeavors is writing a program to automate bowling scores for a game my kids were playing. Yeah, yeah probably 1,000+ places I could find such a thing, but I enjoyed the mental exercise; besides, I gave it a nice UI with lots of colors - besides, it was nice to write something that didn't involve HTML for a change.

Done a little bit of everything over the last 25+ years, from VAX system admin to Windows programming and web stuff. And, yes, I'm one of these odd people that really does think its fun, and it sure has paid the bills. And if I'm not just point-blank tired at home in the evenings, I'll tinker with a home network...so just give me the geek badge
