If you focus on being a boss, you will never be a leader. Leaders lead people to growth and improvement.

Would love to get back into coding.

Instead I've taken out my logic puzzles, introducing my youngest to them.  Lots of old Binary Arts / Think Fun games and the like.  (Elephant) Spinout and The Brain are better than any fidget cube or spinner.  I've been working my way through Stormy Seas; I've gotten so rusty. It's a great game, don't know why it's no longer available.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

I think this needs an asterisk. Extenuating circumstances.

I really would like to learn a skill but I'm too lazy at the moment.

Is that a skill or a hobby?

I have the 2x2, 3x3, pyraminx, and the mirror cube, I can do all those.

I don't have the 4x4 or 5x5 (yet)

I have one with 12 sides but I get dizzy just looking at it...

Once you've done the 3x3 the 5x5 shouldn't be to difficult. The 4x4 will be much harder.
