What do you do that makes working with technology/IT fun?
I've been working in IT for the last 10 years, mainly user support. I used to be up on the newest technologies and used to toy around with stuff that caught my interest. The last thing I did that I enjoyed was modchipping my original Xbox, so it's been awhile since I tinkered around for the hell of it. It felt like a big accomplishment taking something I didn't know how to do and figure it out; it was fun. Now though, I lack the drive to do anything like the sort. I tried my hand at programming, but couldn't stay interested enough to keep going. I got the basics down, but had a hard time trying to make anything from scratch.
So what makes you really enjoy IT? Any tips for someone thats lost their passion for it? I'm leaning towards getting a Pi and seeing what's available out there for it in the developer communities.

I transitioned from 2D content creation to 3D content creation. Started learning how to code. I learned statistics and been toying with big data sets from social networks. Currently trying to learn ANNs. The moor tools you have the more possibilities open up. I wish I had more time.

I seem to be good at figuring out problems with computers and shit. Don't even really like computers myself which is the big irony. Wish I had been smart enough to become a philosopher

Nothing kills the fun like dealing with customers or even non-it coworkers

The thing with programming is you need to find a problem to solve that directly affects you. That's the best way to learn in my opinion.

Desktop support, as odd as it sounds, is the only part of IT I like so far. I don't know where I want to move to next. I've tried taking up programming and networking, but they don't seem to keep my interest long enough. Whatever I move to I want to be happy with. I was thinking some kind of server management eventually; some kind of position I can work remotely would be ideal.
