What I do for fun

Of course, I can't get away from computers even at home. But there I mainly use them to play video games. Currently, I'm addicted to World of Warcraft (server Dalaran), this is definitely cutting into my Half-Life 2, and Age of Mythology time.

One of my favorite hobbies, which I wish I had more time to do, is traveling. You have to have money to travel, for that a job comes in handy, but at the same time, you need time to travel, and a job limits that.

I try to minimize my time watching television, but I must admit I try to catch Battlestar Galactica (the new one), Gilmore Girls, Lost, and Stargate SG-1. (If I don't, I get lost in my friends conversations, where they can take an entire lunch discussing the latest episode.) Of course, movies don't count as wasteful TV time, especially when you can watch them on DVD to practice French, which I used to do once a week.

I used to dabble with DVR software on linux, but this is probably out of date now and should be removed, but since it still get accessed it's still up. Anyway, here's instructions for installing MythTV on Red Hat Enterprise 3 and Red Hat Enterprise 4.

Reading is also a hobby, here is a probably outdated list of books I've read that were good, and some that have been recommened to me.
