Do your...
A lot of you are in the hosting/development business, for the most part, do your family and friends know what you do or are you just "the guy who works with computers"?

Varies.
When you have an extended yet close knit family of 100+, you tend to have all kinda people. Some know the ins and outs of what I do; the rest know to associate "computers" with my name.

I usually keep them updated..or atleast to a certain degree, so they can tell eachother what I'm currently working on/with

The only way to discover the limits of the possibilities is to go beyond them into the impossible.

When I try to explain that I design websites, people will understand to a degree. I have to tell them I design what they look like, I don't build them. They have a hard time understanding that.
No one is ever able to understand the concept of webhosting....
Then again, no one ever seems like they know how to use a computer.CEO Pixabit, Inc.

You forgot the "both" option. Some know what I do, and some think I just play with computers all day.
