There is, as you alluded to, a big difference between doing this for an hour or so each day, and spending eight hours straight playing WoW instead of talking to your wife.

And the even more important difference is the reason for doing the activity. If it is done because it is what you enjoy, then fine, BUT if it is done to make yourself unavailable or to avoid the issues you should be handling (as I did) you are on your way to a place i recommend you keep clear of (trust me that place sucks)

Don't be a fool like I was

Don't go into a coma and hope that problems will fix themselves (they don't).

Tell her that she is special (she is).

Get your ass off the computer chair do stuff with her (she wants you to take part in her activities)

Get out of bed when the alarm goes off, shave and make her breakfast, buy her flowers ones in a while.

If you think that marrying a geek is extremely different than a non geek you are dead wrong. I married a geek girl, and I nearly lost her because I thought she was 90% logic and 10% emotions. I was wrong and now 10 years after our marriage I have just gone through the worst summer ever, and have finally realized that she deserves much more than I have been offering her.

I fell into a vegetable state where I was waiting for things (we were fighting a lot) to get better. Some guys watch sports, other play computer games and some do other shit. No matter what one chooses, all these activities boils down to a low activity veggie state where one resigns and hopes things, in some magical way will get better.

After some serious TLR (Total Life re-engineering) I'm back on track and we are rebuilding our relationship now. All it took was for me to realize that my special little geek girl are as all other girls, they need more than pure logic and reasoning, they need complements and they need to feel that they are special in the way only you can make her feel. A male geek and a female geek has as much in common as a male and a female, while a female geek and a "ordinary" female has almost everything in common.

Submission + - Five Nvidia CUDA-Enabled Apps Tested (tomshardware.com)

crazipper writes: "Much fuss has been made about Nvidia's CUDA technology and its general-purpose computing potential. Now, in 2009, a steady stream of launches from third-party software developers sees CUDA gaining traction at the mainstream.

Tom's Hardware takes five of the most interesting desktop apps with CUDA support and compares the speed-up yielded by a pair of mainstream GPUs versus a CPU-only. Not surprisingly, depending on the workload you throw at your GPU, you'll see results ranging from average to downright impressive."
