They are watching The Treasure Seekers on TV now. Anyway, the plan is to spend less work time being distracted by livejournal/usenet/Slashdot/whatever, be able to at least occasionally do work from home even if only at the level of "oh, that didn't compile on the other platform when I set it off before leaving, check in the trivial fix before the overnight builds" (rather than stay later at work reading Usenet until it finishes), and maybe even do some coding for fun at home myself (something I haven't done for far longer than crazyscot, but aren't as worried by). Or maybe just play games, like the copy of HalfLife (the original, bought as cheap reissue) that is still in its shrink wrap.
Half-Life is good fun, and the graphics are scarily good considering it's five years old. (OTOH, Halo 2, which I saw on my brother's X-box over Xmas, is mind-bogglingly pretty.)
For me, the relative ease of avoiding distractions in work time seems to depend a lot on the degree of interest I have in and how well I understand the task at hand; I have already figured out that I can help myself in the latter case by dumping more state to paper throughout a session, so I can pick it back up more easily later.
