What am I doing after work? It might not seem that much interesting, but after all, a programmer is also a living being, not only a machine that you feed ideas on one side and take out finished code on the other. Therefore I've decided to include a few words about my other interests.
Books - mostly fantasy, science-fiction and horror, but not only these.
I don't like wasting time on doing nothing at all, so every time I have to sit on the bus or a train, I'm usually reading something. Usually it's one of the awesome Stephen King horrors or some sort of fantasy - Terry Pratchett's Discworld, Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time or the Dragon Riders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey, but also a bit more realistic, but still magical stories of Neil Gaiman and Jonathan Caroll. Obviously it's not all, but listing all other authors and series would definitely take too much space here.
Comic books, manga and anime
Good story with nice visual work? Yes please. The genres here are more or less the same as with books, but with a bit more of S-F (Masamune Shirow's Appleseed and Ghost in the Shell or the Macross universe), but I won't run away from a good animated comedy as well. I'm also willing to buy and read anything that the previously mentioned Neil Gaiman wrote - both the Sandman series and the other works such as Eternals or Neil Gaiman's Midnight Days.
Games
When I'm not watching or reading something, I'm probably playing. The interest in video games began years ago on the good old Commodore-64, and during all these years (and different platforms) I've arrived at the current generation consoles. I'm playing both on Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 and it's a much better idea than restricting myself to one of them. I don't really have a most favourite genre of games, though - I like both Project Gotham Racing 4 (and other similar racing games) and the Ace Combat series for example.
World of Warcraft
As one of the few games I'm still playing on my PC, I think that WoW deserves a separate mention here. I've spent a lot of time online for a few years now, and I'm not yet bored of it. Most of the time I'm raiding (killing powerful bosses together with my friends, in groups of 10 or 25 people), but I like the world and the stories just as well.
Eve Online
Another MMO game that I spend my free time in. I've started just recently, so I'm still looking around, learning about the world and game mechanics, and looking for interesting stuff to do there.
