Sometimes I'll think about bugs or try and learn something over the weekend for work. But I only do it for as long as I enjoy it. The second I don't enjoy it I do something else. It's my time, not my employers. I enjoy programming, that's why it's my job. It's only natural that I'll do it in my free time too sometimes. It's up to you really. If you enjoy doing work related stuff for free then do it, but most people don't enjoy that and I presume you probably don't either. You just like the act of software development. So start some personal projects to scratch that itch when you have it.
