What else do you do?

Featured Replies

As well as spinning web I am also involved in other design areas.

 

Here is a little video I made for uni using after effects

 

I also oil paint and play badminton amongst other things.

 

what else to you do?

I used to play badminton many years ago, my ankles can't cope anymore :(

 

I do a bit of landscape photography

  • Author

I only started this year and have a few things I need to work on. Sorry to hear about your ankles.

 

I like to do a bit of photography but struggle to find the time I also have a fear of getting it out in public :blush1: which I need to get over.

Have you joined a club ? or do you just play socially great game I think the rules have changed since I last played do you still play to 15

 

I'm trying to get out more with my camera at the moment and get to grips with it

 

keep me posted on your badminton progress would be good to hear

I've just been playing with a few friends, there are two I just cannot beat.

I've been thinking about joining a club, there are a few thinks I could do with adding to my game so that might help.

 

We still play to 15 but I think that's just because the others don't know the rules have changed.

Been playing badminton as well with friends. I used to draw as well... Well I enjoyed singing a lot :)

Long ago when I was young, I practised tai chi and studied French.

Sometimes I try to play my guitar but it occurs spontaneously and very seldom.

 

Opps, almost forgot to mention web design

  • I'm learning PHP when I can
  • Coming up with project ideas
  • on the forum
  • with the Girlfriend
  • socialising

I used to draw and would like to get back into it. I like Photography but cant find the time.

 

I want to make the jump to freelance but dont feel i am ready yet. :)

all i pretty much do these days is work, drink and play football. thats all i wanna do too haha

I'm a big gamer, i lost half of last month to new vegas, geeky I know.

 

But to get me out and about I'm a bit of a mountain biker. I just bought a giant downhill pro which I'm refurbing, the front suspension is in bits in my hall. I love it but it can be a very expensive hobby :blink:

I brought a GT downhill bike a year ago as I love biking also but havent been out on it much :(

I'm quite into my games too, I have an xbox 360 and a gaming PC. I also play guitar, not brilliantly but I enjoy it.

 

As I mostly work from home I am the king of procrastination... I really need to sort that out lol.

OK here we gooooo...

 

I've been Skateboarding since '92, playing guitar in bands/teaching/and recording since '93, i go swimming twice a week, cycling everyday (mainly off road mountain biking but as i live in London there is a distinct lack of mountains!), i run a voluntary community urban sports group, i work as a part time youth worker, i chill with my girl, go to the pub (to much) and am currently planning relocating to the Scottish highlands to concentrate on web design and my girlfriends buisness...

 

 

... all of that and weirdly enough i used to play badminton for my local area :p

I hate being bored!

White Water kayaking, Mountain Biking and ...... playing Assassins Creed Brotherhood . . .

Been doing various martial arts for almost 15 years, but now I´m a father and husband, nearly all of my spare time activities are gone. :(

 

Still I enjoy cooking a lot and that doesnt collide with my family ;)

i get my arse kicked on call of duty, web design, web design, web design and then sleep.

 

Thats my life at moment as a little busy

 

Have not even got time with family much at moment

I brought a GT downhill bike a year ago as I love biking also but havent been out on it much :(

 

oooh what model? I don't get much time either anymore, however I am pushing everything off my diary tomorrow to make sure I get some serious time out in the snow on it :)

 

I guess like most peeps here it feels like all i do is work work and more work. I have an inability to switch my laptop off!

I dont acually remeber the model now, will check tonight and let ya know :)

I do basic HTML/CSS adjustments, play PC & Xbox 360 games, browse the internet, fix servers, spend time with family, cook, make coffees, go to the shop... all in one day! :pp

 

My main interests and other activities are spending time with the family and anything technology related :D

Good to see what others get up to.

 

Like some of you finding the time to fit things in is a nightmare. I work as a technical support analyst on a night, travel 3 hours to uni during the day and then fit my design stuff somewhere in the middle. The snows not helping...

Work full time as a Kitchen Manager. Play GT5, Fifa 11 and all the Assassins Creeds.

 

Find time to do some freelancing and I am happy.

 

Regards,

J

Seriously? if they are rubbish then there are no words to describe i how bad i must be :blink: they are really good! I always wanted to be able to draw but never really got past the cabbage hands of my youth..

I listen music, playing card, and hanging out with friends.

I make rap music, work for a few non-profit as a volunteer and go to school @ SFSU as an exchange student.

As well as spinning web I am also involved in other design areas.

what else to you do?

 

 

I play with my dog, I sing, I eat a lot, I joke a lot, I sleep a lot, I don't work a lot :)

well, I play field hockey, CoD4 PC, tennis and go salt water fishing.

 

i had to put a space in salt water, cos the filter read it as T-W-A-T

If I have some spare time and money i'll go for a ride on my motorcycle! Other than that just web stuff and sleeping.

 

I also have an old race bicycle frame that I want to turn into a fixed gear bike, but that projects been on hold a while now! I'll get round to it eventually...

Sounds like a plan :)

I just work in promoting my site and bringing in traffic, other than that just routine work.

I travel, collect sugar bags, take part in cosplay and I'm the best parent ever for my cat ^^

Edited by templater1

I tend to find myself forever tinkering with both our main site and other side projects or products, much to the dislike of the other designers/coders of the time as well as forever being the office jokester.

 

Besides work I'm forever coding, be it in my sleep or otherwise :p and getting involved in various wacky sports including "Bocking" (running stilts). :)

  • 3 weeks later...

I like painting and drawing although not done this in some years now. Would like to get back to it.

 

alzer81 your work reminds me of Escher the artist

http://www.mcescher.net/

is he an inspiration for your work?

 

Also reading mostly fictional books as it sparks my imagination and inspires me, and watching the same type of movies. The whole magic and fantasy thing - recently been watching Darren Brown on TV, thinking of getting one of his books. I studied psychology at college and thought his books would be interesting.

 

I also have a geeky hobby of reading physics books in my spare time, fascinated by cosmology, both from a scientific and creative perspective. Also into a bit of philosophy and sociology.

 

Other than that, I enjoy cooking cuisines like Moroccan, Chinese, Indian, English roasts, Mexican, Italian, I don't really see it as a chore, more of a creative process.

 

Finally been thinking of improving my lousy photography skills by coaxing a friend of mine, whose a professional photographer, to give me a few free lessons and show me the ropes.

  • 2 weeks later...

I work in Payroll for a large consumer magazine (don't know if I'm allowed to post any company names!).

 

Oher than that, I'm studying my HTML and CSS! Hanging with the GF, dossing on the TV/Xbox, or having a few cheeky guinesses down the pub!

Thanks Mebo i am also a great art lover , i am working as a Designer and this site is very helpful for me too.
