Yeah, same here. I spend all day at a computer, last thing I want to do is spend more time at a computer. I've also spent more time working on my own vehicle's, and just generally being outside more often.

One thing that I do enjoy from time to time is graphics/game programming. Nothing really ever results from any of my projects, but it is something I enjoy, as i don't do graphics programming at my job... It's usually systems/web development, so the difference in the type of projects I choose to do as hobby programming has helped for me.
