I think this 'spare time' thing seems to come up a lot with people who for whatever reason, aren't getting enough out of their regular job to satisfy them intellectually. When I think about programming outside of work it tends to be about the work project I'm consumed by at the time. The only time this doesn't happen is when I'm working on something that doesn't motivate me.
