And that's perfectly fine.

If you want to do stuff in your own time, and have the time to do so, it's only ever going to help you.

Perhaps others around you are vague because they don't have the time to do it in their own time, but think that admitting it will make them seem less committed.

Continue doing what you like doing, perhaps just be mindful that others might feel guilty/bad/inadequate so don't push them for further clarity as it might make them feel worse.

Agreed. I don't really push. I'll be excited about my ePaper-based project instead (until my progress runs into the ground and I abandon that project ;) )

It's indeed a good idea not to push (and I'd like to think that I don't). And I'd never say other have to do something like what I'm doing. I was simply describing what I do as the context to a situation where I do not experience pressure to code outside work (and I don't think others do - not too much anyway - either).

I wasn't inferring you do put pressure on others, my apologies if it came across like that. I was just making an observation based on your reply :-)
