I would love to tinker at home, but usually I just have enough time to check email & newsgroups before my 1 year old starts screaming from his playpen, so I've got to hold him in my lap while trying to respond to comp.lang.perl.misc w/him trying to add his input to it all...
Its impossible to get any programming done at home, unless I can get the rest of the family packed up to grandma's for awhile, last time I almost got something done :)
Update: 7 years later, and I don't even check newsgroups any more :-)
