Dustin Marx has an excellent blog entry about Software Developers' Guilty Pleasures . It's a good read but I think he missed one :
Automating Chores That You Don't Need To
The old case of having a boring chore that will take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours and spending four times that writing a piece of code or a script to do it for you.
Of course, if you ever need to do it again you'll be ready - if you can find the code, if the use case is close enough. if the data is alike enough, etc, etc......
Face it - coding was fun , the chore wasn't
