    Do you spin while writing code or working?

    Only when I'm stopping to think, or taking a break. Other than that, I keep on coding.

    while coding? kind of a random question...

    both my hands are on the keyboard or mouse, so no.

    unless i need to plan something on paper, of course.

    I would only if I can either write with my left hand, or spin well with my left hand.
    I mostly spin when I'm looking at info on the computer.

    Well I said this after noticing that after I finished typing something, and trying to think of the next line I will start spinning.

    I'm a lefty, but I use the mouse with right hand..... which means I can spin with my left hand wink.gif

    wtf.gif

    It would take an age to code if you used only one hand. Obviously both my hands are on the keys while I write code and therefore I don't spin and code at the same time...

    if havent noticed a correlation, pen spinners are primarily nerds.

    sometimes i spin in left hand (i can do only TA, Pass and Sonic xD)
    but i usually use left hand to move the mouse and spin in right hand
    i'm right-hander ;]

    but when i'm coding i use two hands to write...

    I dont think batch files count... I only spin when thinking of the next line in something like C++ (coding used to be my old hobby before ps) otherwise i have to have both hands free.
