When I have a few spare moments at the store, or waiting for my daughter to get out of school, or whatever I read, make notes, etc. Sometimes if I am working on a project, I carry pen and paper too and draw out designs, plan things out, so when I sit down to code the thinking is done and I can get something productive done. | |

Check any employment agreements you may have signed. When in doubt, take a lawyer to lunch and have them look at it for you. The closer your "personal coding" is to your work, the more important this becomes. | |
| Jun 22, 2011 at 19:29 | comment | added | Brad Christie | I may be daft, but sounds to me like you need a new job. Not that job security and comfort aren't nice, and side projects aren't ideal, but I feel like if you're going this far for a challenge, why not...actually go find a challenge? (or maybe I'm just fortunate enough to have a job that allows me to do what you're seeking on your own time...) | |
