To answer the question in advance: If he has a family and a laptop - already.
But first things first. Even a nerd (and myself included) has a holiday and may relax from his work (which is right for nerds also her hobby). Since then it has worked all year for bread and bandwidth, and to renounce once for 2 weeks on the latter? Is that good, I wondered? Despite all the concerns I have taken with my family and the "sacred" laptop to travel to the Danish coast, a place without internet.
Once there stood at beach walks with fantastic weather and a feeling for me, what do the most for recreation. The first indication of this is the lack of stress. Even the grumbling of the children do not mind if they "already" want to go walking on the beach with. For me, fish Kopp, who is at home and must live and work, the sea is the true home. But at home it can rain again and then lands the nerd (ie me) is quite fast on the computer.
Forward-looking way, I had secured the main documents for Groovy and Grails offline, so I in my little application grum could work. When problems arise, shows how much one has the "Googling" a habit, rather than to strain the brain. If the children themselves say: "but then look in the internet for" and you would like to do, the Internet is ubiquitous.
The 2 weeks are over. I survived it, and when seen in hindsight, actually not so bad.
So next year again? In any case, the house is already booked with Internet
