What do you do aside from being on a PC? (Not jobs)

[SavageCupcake]

and may I say plow my wife.

LAD points to your dear sir.

On topic. Currently a student at sixth form doing applied science, business studies and computing. I hate it. Other than that it's walking the dogs, skype with the GF (100 miles away :/ ), Looking at things I can't afford (mostly cars), Looking for some kind of work (another reason I hate college). Sometimes go to judo but other than that i'm rather boring :L

I'll admit I'm an unfit POS tbh. I have to take a lot of medications for my conditions and they make me tired and give me horrible joint pain.

Things I like to do though

1. Read. Last week I read War of the worlds. Brilliant book can't believe I'd never read it before. I also like to read about serial killers and plenty of psychological stuff.

2. Spend time with my fiancee. We have a life where we are together 24 hours a day and I wouldn't rather be anywhere else tbh. She's a wonderful woman and I could spend the rest of my life with her and it still wouldn't be enough. We both like to game so she plays Stronghold Kingdoms whilst I play (well, usually) on the desktop for more demanding stuff

3. Spend time with my cats. We have a F8 Bengal girl called Rapunzel, a F2 Savannah girl (called Woollie) and an old ragdoll girl called Milly. Milly is so sweet and affectionate, the other two are just crazy bastards.

4. Spend time with my family. This is something that's always been of utmost importance to me. More so since my grand parents died when I was in my late teens, leaving me the rest of my life to wish I had spent more time with them. Barely a day passes where I don't think of them tbh they were wonderful human beings.

5. Maintain and clean my computers. I'm severly anal about this tbh. I have terrible OCD for it.

6. Watch documentaries and factual televison. Mostly stuff like how it's made and Masterchef. I don't watch anything fantasy.

7. Walk/sit on/visit the beach and or quiet places.

So that's about it really. Alien likes to live a quiet life.

I forget to mention some more of the everyday stuff. I really relate to 3 through 7, but I can't walk like I used to having bad ankles. I used to go walking every day, about 8 miles a day. I don't read because I have ADD and I read a paragraph and my mind drifts off to something it reminds me of and I get lost in a long daydream. Hard for me to read long reviews without drifting off. No women in my life right now, I limit myself I'm told, since I get down on myself for being broke and out of shape. I need to get back to the YMCA to swim my miles a day and do the exercise bikes at least. Hard to get back into it.

I was talking to old friends just the other day, from my teen years, our 40th high school reunion is coming up, we grew up in an area called Sister Lakes, many lakes. Michigan has over 11,000 charted lakes in it, besides being surround by 4 of the 5 "Great Lakes." I lived on the largest in the Sister Lakes area, Magician Lake, in a house we bought from my mum's dad. He and my dad built it in 59. My friends were all talking about how we miss being at the lakes and when I was born we lived on one of the "Great Lakes", Lake Michigan. I was away from the area for 5 years, but had to come back, I missed it too much. I'm not on a lake, but can be to one in just a few minutes. Not the same as living on one though.

My life then was dirt bikes, terring up the roads in one of my cars and anything on the lakes...oh yeah, girls...Sister Lakes was a resort area and there were regulars that came for the summer and always new people. Oh my, the stories I could tell about the "older" women cutting loose on a vacation of a lifetime for some of them...anybody 21 and over. :lol: I used to get a lot of attention with my cars, I used it to my advantage.

Tried to reply to your PM but your inbox is full so I'll put the reply here.

I was probably a bit too generic in saying remapping. At present I only work on saab trionic ecu's. (if it were a saan ecu, it's a simple case of opening the map in the software and unchecking a program flag then reflashing the binary data back on to the ecu) If the bosch system is anything like the saab system, you can reflash the ecu using canbus. This requires a lawicel canusb cable which is probably around £130 now. You may also be able to do this via OBD, but i cannot be certain of it and there is also the possibility of using BDM if the ecu has this function built in. As for software, you'd probably need to scout around the net and see if there is any available. I know there is a community for the bosch motronic system on ECUproject.

Sorry i can't be of more help.

Complicated, lol .. I think I'll just send it of to be done by somebody else !

Fitness for me is very difficult.. I see you mention having ADHD there.. About time I confessed really. I have Asperger's Syndrome and, to make it more complicated my co-morbidity is Bipolar II. It has been years since I was able to read and I used to only be able to do it when I was smashed on weed tbh. I made it to my mid 20s before it became apparent that I was ill and only because I had to stop taking illegal drugs to self medicate because my brain was in such a state one drag of a joint and I would have a meltdown.

Since then it's been a real rollercoaster to hell tbh. It's only been very recently that I have finally found some medication that actually works for me. I now take (try not to laugh).

Morning - two Mebeverine for IBS (common in Aspie's it's something to do with the nervous system)
40mg of Citalopram (AKA Celexa to you lot)

Evening.

100mg of Pregaballin
250mg of Seroquel
2x Mebeverine.

Within half an hour of taking that lot (it's like supper, about ten pills lol) I'm out of my f**king tree. Both Pregaballin and Seroquel are anti psychotic mood stabilisers and have about the same effect as a horse tranquiliser.

Due to that (I sleep for about 15 hours a night, my woman is so great about that tbh) I wake up feeling like I've been ten rounds with Mike Tyson. The Pregaballin gives me terrible joint pain and the Seroquel? well, within an hour of taking those they make you feel like you haven't eaten for a month.

Thus my weight has gone up (13.5 stone but that's very heavy for me, only the IBS stops me becoming obese) and I seldom have any energy..

Mind you, at least I can concentrate on reading a book instead of getting an itchy ass like you with ADHD :lol:

 

[Josh Weston]

I help look after this website full of weirdos, doing my best to keep the peace.

My daily activities include, but are not limited to, merging a whole load of posts, telling people off for posting in the FS&W forum, taking Tom for his daily walk, and making sure I look as awesome as ever.

For the most part I succeed, but I feel as if Tom is slowly gaining independence. It's probably all the coffee he drinks, which is a nightmare to clean up

 

[Bartacus]

I do as little as possible, in the name of efficiency. Other than watching playoff hockey that is.

Holy crap, that's some major non-funniness going on there

My mom used to take some anti depressants (not that those come close to your stuff, but
bear with me) and she always said all they did was numb her down until she was, well...
numb. So she quit them after quite a short while, said she preferred feeling shitty over feeling
nothing. She's better now though.

Anyway, my primary activity at the moment besides my computers is my dad's girlfriend's dog.
I love the guy, I really do. And it pains me to know that since he's already 13.5 years old
he probably doesn't have too much time left . Ah well, I enjoy what time I have, and so
far at least he's still in rather impressive shape. He doesn't really have much endurance
anymore, but his spirit makes up for it in short bursts :lol:. Luckily, he is not yet exhibiting
any joint problems, which large dogs (he's about 40 kg/85 lbs) often suffer from (he's mixed
breed, which makes him a lot less susceptible to health problems).

Besides spending time with the big guy, I

• used to jog a lot and go to the gym (not at the moment, bad health, but I'll start again
  once I'm allowed to),
• used to go hiking in the mountains,
• used to drive around in my car a lot (Volvo V70 R from 1999), although at the moment
  she's in the garage due to lack of funds. But she'll ride again.
• I spend a lot of time on Wikipedia or other sites where I suck up new knowledge (I
  consider it important to have a broad knowledge and learn lots of stuff) and
• listen to music quite a lot (pretty much anything that's not folksy ).
• I also used to play the piano (don't have one at the moment),
• spend time with friends (the real life ones, sorry fellas ),
• watch movies and TV shows (scripted, nothing reality, Justified is a good example of
  what I like)
• and code (started with C++ in college, did a website in PHP for my dad's company,
  now I'm working myself through C and Perl).

I'm sure there's more, but that's what comes to mind at the moment.

I was put on some recently (can't remember the name now) but within a week my lady asked me to do something (as right, we split the housework) and I just said "Whatever".

Really totally not me and I realised there that I was losing myself.

Thankfully for the most part what I take just makes me feel like I've smoked a couple of bags of weed without the paranoia :lol:

Seroquel is the drug used for date rape. It's so potent it can put people in a coma :lol:

 

[Spiderz]

Dammit Alien I was here looking to get away from my studying and saw that list and it set my mind into overdrive. That's what I get for pharmacology exams this week. :lol:

From earlier I also missed out my love of going walks with my dog and walks in general. Got plenty of quiet areas around here just if the typical Scottish weather would give us some good weather then I might get out more.

So far they've given me...

Propanolin? some load of old crap.
Sertraline (Zoloft) corr, that one loaded me up like I'd taken ten grams of coke :lol:
Lamotrigine (mmm, made me feel like I had ten spoons of salt thrown in my eyes)
Depakote (made me do a hulk and punch a hole in the wall.
Venaflaxine (rubbish)
Mirtazapine (the "fuggit pills" these were the ones that made me not give a crap and I didn't like that)
Risperidone. I slept 20 hours a day before saying uncle on those.

So it's been a bit of a pharmaceutical lottery really :lol:

The best one was when some stupid woman thought I had ADHD and gave me Concerta XL (Ritalin). I wandered 8 miles from home before coming to. What a manic spell that caused.

I feel for you, man. That is some powerful shit. The problems and the meds. I know people closely dealing with both.

We all have a story, at least more of us do that some would ever think. I lived with life long panic attacks onto later in life when they started putting me in the hospital since my system would go wacky and I'd think I was dying. Finally I had a super bad one when driving and went right to my doctor's office. She was out of town on a family emergency and an old doc who was retired was filling in. I explained what happened and how I felt. He said, "Young man, you just described the text book description of a panic attack." I was given Xanax, which brought me down, way down, but it was what I needed at the time.

I then needed to talk to somebody, I went to a psychologist. I asked to get off Xanax, and I got on Zoloft and Welbutrin. It was found I also had severe depression and emotional related IBS. She recommended a Panic Attack Group Meeting. They have you talk about the problem and teach techniques on how to deal with it. I was in it for years. My wife once said, "You have been in that group for 3 years, you should be healed by now." That messed with my head, I should have been pissed off, but on those meds I could not get mad about anything. I'm an easy going person anyway, but that stuff made you extreme. I did get off the meds 8 months before she left me. The morning she left she mentioned the meds. I said she was so into herself, being so selfish, she didn't remember I stopped taking them 8 months before and used what I learned to control the panic attacks. Also the group had disbanded due to a change at the place. I was doing great. Exactly one month later I was served divorce papers. I went back on the meds a month, but had a bad reaction and stopped them. I have toughed it out since then. Some days if I could run, I'd go out running and screaming I feel. If not for what I learned in that group I'd be in the hospital.

In that group I got to closely know people just like me, some just like you, some facing stuff like MS and other things. Going there I was tested and they told me I tested as having severe ADHD and my intelligence was off the charts. I told them I feel in life I am fooling people and I'm going to be found out. I told them I fooled them on the IQ tests. I've been told that is impossible, I was tested using several methods, all showed the same result. My Hyper Disorder part manifests itself in my getting into something, like working on a car, building a new computer, doing some other project and going and going and going, not stopping until I'm done, even if it took 24 hours straight. My wife had tried to talk to me at times when I was in a zone and I don't remember it.

I'm right now battling going hyper on writing this, I've stopped myself, barely from writing a lot more and am going to cut myself off now or I'll write a novel. Now my OCD is kicking in and I'm wanting to go back and reread and rewrite this 1000 times before sending it, but I'm not going to allow myself to do that either. If it makes no sense, you'll know why, I'm uncontrollably rambling. :lol:

Dammit, I'm losing, I'm editing...STOP IT!

 

[alienware]

I feel for you, man. That is some powerful shit. The problems and the meds. I know people closely dealing with both.

My fiancee is a fellow Aspie and has to take meds too (she has chronic depression as her co-morbidity and a stroke survivor due to being a recovering alcoholic) and it's pretty crazy how differently we react on the same meds. Mirtazapine works really well for her but turns me into a cold nasty asshole tbh.

Fact is Fred that I'm pretty much a legalised drug addict. A part of being Aspie is to also be obsessive. So I did my damage self medicating between the age of 13 (weed and MDMA) and 21 when I had my first full breakdown and quit all drugs.

I was first diagnosed with BPD II in the USA and was initially given Zoloft (they wanted to start with the depression). I ran out of med insurance a year in and had to come off completely and in the end I had an accident at work and managed to get my hands on a lot of Darvocet which I then used for about six months before I came home as I couldn't get my anti depressants (they would only cover shit related to my accident at work and that meant pain killers).

Going there I was tested and they told me I tested as having severe ADHD and my intelligence was off the charts. I told them I feel in life I am fooling people and I'm going to be found out. I told them I fooled them on the IQ tests. I've been told that is impossible, I was tested using several methods, all showed the same result.

My IQ is 152. The odd part? I have no conscious idea of what the f**k is going on when I'm doing it but like you I have been tested over and over and still the same result. On a bad day (mania) I will score less, and on a good day when I feel level I can get higher but the average came out to 152. ADHD is very similar in ways to Asperger's, hence my misdiagnosis.

They thought I had it (ADHD) because I would only turn up to my psychiatrist when I was flying high on hypomania.

If I was depressed I wouldn't go so obviously with me fidgeting a lot they thought I had ADHD.

It was only later that I finally got my medical papers from the USA that they tested me for Asperger's (having finally accepted my Bipolar II diagnosis).

Since then it's just been a battle for survival really. As I age it gets worse, but thankfully the meds I'm on now are really good and I'm feeling pretty sound

I know for sure I was an amateur as far as the meds I was on. People in the group were all on far more stuff than I. The big man with BPD II was on some heavy duty amounts. I metabolize meds at a high rate, so all the heart stuff I'm on now are higher amount than the norm and what I was on then were double dose. He was that way with his meds and worse than me, He was 6'4" (193 cm) and weighed about 320 pounds (22.9 stone). Imagine a guy like that losing control.

Did you get the technicolor super realistic dreams on Zoloft? It is a common effect of it. When I went back on it after the divorce papers I had horrendous nightmares, very real and dark dreams...other than the real part, totally opposite from how the other dreams were before. I could not take that. That was 3.5 years ago that I've not been on anything for that.

Anybody I know with Asperger's are extremely smart. Their diagnosis sure fits. My sister cares for a boy with it, his mum not equipped to deal with it. He is 15 now, she has been taking care of him since he was 2 and first was showing there was a problem. He was not properly diagnosed until 7 or 8 though. They thought ADHD up until that time.

On some tests I was tested multiple times. I did throw them off on one. They told me I had not done it perfectly, which was expected because the ADD was kicking in. On the next 2 times I was perfect, which confused them. I told them they made a mistake telling me I screwed up badly, as expected, the first time. Then another part of me kicked in, being hyper and 120% sure I was going to do it perfectly, I was pissed I screwed up and no way in hell was it going to happen again. See, the test was long, very wordy and boring on purpose to test one's ability to stay focused. The questions were different for each time, so they were not familiar. ADD folks fail big time, the second 2 times I was perfect. They learned something they didn't expect.

Now I'm distracted, Rod Stewart is on TV here.

I'm very sensitive to medication tbh. Again it's my nervous system. I'm taking about half of what is usually used in the Seroquel dosage. Any more and I get terrible palpitations.

Did you get the technicolor super realistic dreams on Zoloft? It is a common effect of it. When I went back on it after the divorce papers I had horrendous nightmares, very real and dark dreams...other than the real part, totally opposite from how the other dreams were before. I could not take that. That was 3.5 years ago that I've not been on anything for that.

Zoloft side effects were pretty horrific for me. I had very lucid dreams and nightmares and would sweat like bloody crazy. It was so bad that I had to sleep on towels as I would wake up soaked.

The heartburn was pretty horrific too, as was the buzzing sound I would get when on very high dosages. It was almost like I was being electrocuted.

I used to love the feel good factor but it triggered a lot of mania in me and I would do some pretty effed up stuff when manic (like dye my hair blue at 38 years old :lol: )

It also made me very tightly wound and I would often explode at people. I no longer work because the stress triggers mania for me and I kick/punch people.

Only since being registered disabled have I managed to avoid that and it's been life changing tbh. I really don't like being around people either (that's the Aspie in me) and tend to live a very secluded quiet lifestyle

He is 15 now, she has been taking care of him since he was 2 and first was showing there was a problem. He was not properly diagnosed until 7 or 8 though. They thought ADHD up until that time.

It's a horrifically common misdiagnosis tbh. It's also a very very dangerous one as I was given Ritalin. Being Bipolar and a mania sufferer being handed what pretty much equates to meth amphetamines (they're a synthetic amph) caused an enormous manic episode, one which took me nearly six months to recover from. It's bloody scary tbh just how much some quack who thinks she knows better can cause lasting damage.

On some tests I was tested multiple times. I did throw them off on one. They told me I had not done it perfectly, which was expected because the ADD was kicking in.

I stopped taking IQ tests now because I was becoming obsessed with them. That's not good for some one like me who has a visual brain. I ended up seeing shapes floating around with numbers dotted everywhere :lol:

That reminds me of my aptitude test for being allowed in the armoured personnel carrier
branch of our infantry (basically light tanks). We did all sorts of coordination and spatial mind
tests for about one and a half days, after that I kept seeing moving dotted lines and other
funny things for about two days :lol:

Arron all the way, the kid I talked about. He grew up coming to my families get together's so he does well. Other than that, he has major problems around people.

Very visual myself, I notice everything. It is what can distract me, something moves or people walk by... Shapes, oh yeah. I obsessed with one in a test, I dreamed about it for a week. It was a bunch of shapes they wanted you to put together in a larger shape they just flashed to you. they got more and more complicated. I got angry inside that I could not solve the last one, but dreaming about it I figured something out. It my next anxiety group I told the therapist I knew the solution to one I could not do, there was no solution, the shape they flashed to you was impossible to make out of the shapes given to you. She checked, the next week she told me she was not supposed to tell me, but I was right. How you dealt with that was in itself a test. My obsessing about it further verified I'm OCD about some things. Sometimes games do it to me, I'll dream about them at night.

Edit: Okay folks, we sort of hijacked the thread getting into psychological stuff. Think about it though, it fits what the OP asked. This is something we do besides PC stuff. We deal with this stuff everyday.

I mentioned that I merged posts as an every day routine, right?

Watch your posts, Fred. The edit button is your friend.

 

[Dicehunter]

What do you guys like to do as activities other than PC gaming?

Training, Personal training *Job* , Go out with friends, Go on dates, That's pretty much it ^_^

 

[Mosephuss]

I like to ride my ATV in places like Oregon, that's not every day though. I'm only 14 so I don't do much but go to school. I get everything done and get good grades. I currently ride a Polaris 200 which I'm looking to sell and buy something newer and more powerful. I feel too old for my quad and I'm also ready to switch.

 

[SeekaX]

Until the age of 11 i did lots of sports like handball and football (not the egg version), then i moved and i didn't really connect with any of the sportsteams in my area so i quit that, i was only skating for about 2 years after that and then i quit sports entirely (i went to the gym for about a year, but i hated it from day one. unfortunately we had a contract and my mom didn't want me to waste it).
I read a lot in my childhood, at least 1500 pages a week. I still read from time to time, but since the point where i got my connection i have been lacking massively.
Lately i barely do anything offline, i play cards with friends sometimes.
I watch an awful lot of documentaries about science, drugs and serial killers, i love learning about that stuff.
I am most likely rather good at coding, but until now all i learned in school was VB06. Even though it's very limited i like working with it, it's fun to think in loops. I should really get into C++ etc. in my free time, but i really cba at the moment. But i guess this counts as a PC interest.

On to the psychological discussion:
I was a troublesome kid, i went to 5 schools, not for the reason of me doing bad or moving, just because i got in trouble with teachers. I wasn't violent or anything, i was just bored as hell in school and i got into discussions with my teacher which they didn't like. That nearly brought me into a mental institute, which was the point where i had to go to a psychologist. The first one diagnosed me with ADHD, which was complete and utter bullshit. At no point in my life i was hyperactive and the only reason for why i didn't pay attention in school was that i was bored and didn't care. So we moved on to a second psychologist and he let me do an IQ test. Turned out that my IQ was 130 and that my behavior was quite common for highly intelligent people.
I wasn't diagnosed with any social disorder, but i am quite sure i have some because lately i barely talk to people anymore (i used to be quite a popular kid, i have no problems with talking to strangers IRL, i just don't want to anymore), it takes a lot of requirements to make me like someone anymore, i have maybe 2 german friends left and that includes the online ones. I don't feel lonely though, i was never really an emotional person. i don't have a solid connection to my family. My cousin and my grandfather died last year and my grandmother is about to die and i just don't care at all, which is most likely down to my parents divorce.
I also need my mind to be bombarded with information, i can't idle. You could take a random screenshot from my desktop at any time and you would see at least 5 browser tabs, some kind of video (usually a documentary) and a game running simultaneously, i keep cycling through all of that at least every two minutes, if i had more than two screens i would probably read through multiple threads while watching a documentary while playing a game.
This also means that i get bored by nearly everything very fast, i hate going on vacations for example. You can bring me to the most beautiful place in the world, after max 2 hours i don't care anymore and i want to move on, which is most likely the reason why i am obsessed with the internet, there is no way i will ever run out of new stuff.
