How do you use programming in your private life (so apart from work)?

Question

See title. What kind of hobby do you have in which you use programming?

Answer 1

Sometimes I write programs that make my life easier, but mostly, programming for me is just a hobby in and of itself! I set myself a challenge ("I wonder how X works") and try to figure it out. Sometime I also read up about a programming topic, then try to implement it myself.

Answer 2

I made a program to help generate unique passwords to use on websites. I wanted to use parameters that were familiar to me though but at the same time be considered strong passwords.

Answer 3

I have wrote several codes to help me with my carpentry job. Like finding angles/lengths of a triangle, metric to emperial conversions and many other situations. I know the math and how to, but alot of time the jobs are time and budget sensitive. I know that's not exactly what you asked but it's an idea.
