IRL Projects/Hobbies!

I have so many hobbies that I never run out of things to do, but I do lack the time to do all of them and thus I have very little time for friends, not that I am unhappy with that. I'd like to elaborate more, but I'd easily break the character limit and it wouldn't necessarily be interesting. However, I can summarize a bit the main hobbies I have. I said I can, but a sudden feeling of laziness is taking control of my senses as of writing this; perhaps later then.

My most time consuming-hobby of them all is probably computer stuff. I'm not much of an "ilr" person.

Madness. Pure madness. You'd have to write a program to automate a part of the site building to efficiently use your time without wasting it. And you'd have to chose: PHP, XML/XSLT or HTML ?

EDIT: I funny because I am working on something massive like that at the moment (8000+ stuff, but still a lot), it's a list of Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG cards released in 1999. Fun times.

lol! None of the above -- at the time, I had access to the server that had the company web site on it, and I just imported the database as a space delimited file, then wrote a quick PERL script to process that file and create the web page.

Plus, natch, I left the script there, just in case those #'s became updated and so on (which of course they were).
