There's always another acronym to read. If you haven't, read your PAIP.

I do something else until there are too many ideas and I have to start coding them. When I immerse myself in another domain, I can't help but apply my programming skills to it.

When I get bored of programming I do physics. When I get bored of physics I play guitar. When I get bored of guitar I draw. When I get bored of drawing I program. Vicious cycle IMHO

i've designed a game that helps me never lose interest in programming.
it is, in essence, a programming game.
how it works is it's build around a virtual machine, right?
now when you start up the virtual machine a special script goes on to the internet & googles mixtures of pseudo-random keywords (keywords unrelated to programming)until it finds a website containing open source code.
the script then downloads the full source & translates it into a special 'game language' which i have named "FLfPi" or "Fun Language for Programming in" (it's like a mixture of C, & html, vb6, & asm).
the program then removes random parts of code(leaving the comments intact).
the objective of the game is to rewrite the modules, functions, & classes, etc that have been removed; basically, get the code working again.
it still needs some refining, but i'll upload the game when i'm finished (i think it will be VERY popular, so i don't want to release it with lots of bugs).

That sounds really shitty, like a very undesirable job.
Also read SICP.

what a great way to spend hours programming and not achieve a thing!
you don't even get language experience because you're using a butchered frankenstein language.
excellent

Mr. Bob-san. You are sitting quietly in your study. And then there is a bottle of Suntory whiskey on top of the table. You understand, right? With wholehearted feeling, slowly, look at the camera, tenderly, and as if you are meeting old friends, say the words. As if you are Bogie in "Casablanca," saying, "Cheers to you guys," Suntory time!
paint, code, draw, write, compose, film, talk, invent, then do it all over.
