I used to enjoy coding at home, and I still have a lot of ideas I get enthusiastic about, but I rarely write anything outside the office other than a quick hacky script to automate something anymore.

This is partly because the things I want to write aren't significantly different to existing projects, partly because I know from experience that it's just going to be for my own amusement rather than anyone else.

What I do a lot more of is hang out on help forums, SO, places like that. I spend more time updating wiki pages and doing the sort of zero-friction documentation you can help out with while the pasta's cooking.
