I am a programming hobbyist I suppose.
I'm the Manager of the IS Group at work and I generally stick to networking,
server maintenance/configuration(s), etc...but I have moved into using
Ruby( as well as other languages, but Ruby is the most recent addition ) to
make my duties at the office easier.
Being a competent hobbyist( or i'd like to think i am ) I often spend a few
hours up to a few days making my own mini-apps and scripts to perform
certain duties instead of purchasing software or having me do them manually.
Don't worry all you real programmers out there we have real programmers at
the office to. =)

May excellent suggestions have been made, so I won't bore you with my
attempt. But, I wanted to say, "Welcome Hobby Programmer!"
I'm paid to do IT work, but I have increasingly moved my programming
activities into the land of hobby-dom, where I tend to enjoy them more. I
find Ruby to be an *excellent* language for hobbyists (as well as
enterprise users).
Are there other strict hobbyists on the list?
