I have it running on a computer near me almost all of the time.  At work, I
use it to monitor our applications/machines, to analyze data, to diagram
what is going on.  Oh, and to prototype all sorts of new technologies.  And
finally as a scratch pad/assitent to help me think.
When I can (and not at work), I often use it for play - occassionaly to
build something fun (game-wise), although they never make it to a level to
share like Stephane; more often to try new and odd things found in Squeak
or elsewhere.

The biggest thing lately I'd like to be able to do is pull some of the
development environment in from Pharo-Moose.  I saw the demo given by
Alexandre end of last year, and that environment is very, very nice.  I
just don't want to give up my very long living images - I have one going to
back to 2.4 that I still ocassionally break out for certain purposes.
