What you do before starting to code/program everyday?
Play a flash game? Surfing?

A:
Spend an extra 30 seconds thinking about my question for StackOverflow before posting it?
More seriously, I guess I would say:
- Drink a coffee/tea.
- Read my RSS - this helps get the brain fired up.
- Say "hi" to the people on Twitter.
- Check my RTM task list.
- Check for upcoming events in Google Calendar.
- Check/Update my Wiki with any ideas I want to review now/later.

LOL :) I thought I had better add _some_ serious element to the answer :)

Would have been more humorous had you omitted the the serious stuff, I say. ;)

Are you saying you actually stop programming?! :-)
I process all my emails before starting to code.

I open a browser with SO and as most of the people on here know thats the worst thing you can do because there goes the idea of getting any work done.

A:
1: Drink Coffee
2: Slowly Wake up (at my desk) while checking SO and e-mails
3: Check for any deals on the net for chrimbo pressies.
3: Update all my code from the repository, then scratch head and chin for a while in a monkey-like fasion.

A:
Try to remove all distractions from my environment. Too much noise -> listen with my headset to some acoustic music Not enough/Too much light -> Adjust light properly Too much phone calls -> Throw phone away Too much emails -> close email client/email webpage

A:
I quickly browse through all my unread items in Google Reader to catch up on whatever's happened during the night. And get coffee.

A:
- Eat a sandwich
- Check stackoverflow
- Check slashdot (but considering stopping this cause I hate the new front page and am too lazy to figure out how to switch to classic mode)
- Check work emails
- Check personal emails
- Check whos on pidgin
- Check issue tracker for tasks
- Start working
Most of these happen concurrently.

A:
Go surfing. Check out feeds. Have breakfast and coffee or tea. Say hello to the sun. Find out what I need to do (and why).

Prepare coffee. Read sports. Read mail.
