Having delved into computer programming myself I have to say it's the most boring thing I've ever done in my entire life, and i've had some boring moments.

What have you done with programming? I'm half-way done with a computer science major at the University of Minnesota, and I do programming part-time for a couple companies, and I love it. I mean, the work they have me do can sometimes be tedious, but I do personal stuff all the time for fun.

For example, I like to play the game Risk, as well as Axis and Allies. I mainly play with my uncle. I lived very near him for a year, so there was no problem, but then we moved away from each other. I still wanted to play the game, but we couldn't do the dice rolling thing legit. Well, I wrote a real-time server-side dice rolling and chat app so that we can play the game via the internet.

With computer science, it seems you either love it or hate it... I've met few in-betweens.
