I just noticed that I have never actually completed a program over 300 lines with out it involving other people. Only by myself :confused:

Well, I've never sat through "The Nutcracker Ballet" in it's entirety, but it doesn't mean I have a short attention span, it just means I don't like ballet. I've sat and written hundreds of lines of code at once many times, just means I like programming more than ballet. Fox302.com itself is probably about 1500 lines of code.

Depends on what it is. For video games or interesting books, its nearly infinitely long. For homework I'd say around 5-10 minutes if I'm not getting it, but otherwise I can chug away for a few hours.

Don't get me wrong, I love it. I just get distracted and what to do some other program after about an hour.
