a) I don't have children (yet)

b) I'm a late night person, and my wife is a morning person.  I basically
get home from work around 7pm, and she goes to bed around 9pm.  So I do
geek stuff after that.

c) I'm not paid by the hour, so I'll stop and answer e-mails throughout
the day as long as they're not TOO time consuming -- the big ones with
code I usually do at night time or on the weekend. (Unless I already have
the code written.)

d) I do the articles on the weekends either after the wife has gone to
bed, or when she's out running errands and stuff.  She likes to go and
spend some time with her family (parents and brothers) every weekend, and
I spend that time writing.

It does get fairly exhausting after awhile, though.

I know that you're kidding, but... The hardest thing about the family
business is that everyone thinks that you got where you are because
you're family. They think that I'm not a "real" IT guy, I'm only doing
this because my Dad was doing the hiring.

But, this is getting way off topic.
