This might be not suitable for everyone, but I find the combination of (public transport + netbook + tethering) extremely helpful. OTOH I am currently accepting a commute of 1h+ as opposed to ~30min direct drive, I am not sure I'll keep that up.

At the moment pretty much 90%+ of my private email and feed reading happens on train and bus, plus some bits of coding and database work. My old netbook even copes decently running PostGIS + Geoserver :-) Kudos to the Ubuntu team -- with Windows XP it hardly coped with Adobe Reader (we are talking first gen Dell Mini 9 here).

Hi guys,

this is targeted at those slightly older developers out there who have
been coding for a while now and consider themselves rather good at
what they do.

How do you make time to keep up to date? I mean, I have a full time
job which leaves me knackered in the evenings and a wife and son who
make sure I am not left alone at the weekend.

I've been meaning to sit down and learn Scala, GWT, Spring 3.0 but I
just don't get the time.

Any one else been in this position? How did you solve it?

Rakesh
