How many lines of code do you write a day?

I was wondering, how many lines of code do you programmers write a day and in what language? Lets not include blank lines or comments, as they can vary a huge amount.

I've been working on one module on and off last week and this week. I'd guess 5 days so far. I've stripped out comment, blank lines and all wizard generated lines. The line length now is just over 1100 and its size is 37K. The language is C++. So approx 200 lines a day.

This openGL program that I wrote in 1 day included 1900 lines of code. So I'd assume it's 1900 lines a day :)

It's not "real" code, but I script in VB/ASP and produce roughly 1000 lines of code a day, with HTML formatting.

I'd say around 1000 lines of code in 6-8 hours of brain-crushing coding session in Visual C++, at least, that's what I did in school to finish all the projects on time.

I suppose it depends on the project and how well it's planned out beforehand.
