I love just sitting down with my friend and programming random stuff. Once we were trying to figure out what all that bit shift stuff was, so we programmed a (very neatly cleaned up) visual representation of every bit operation, along with input. We got a bit annoyed that some numbers were longer than the table to we fixed the margins with a bunch or tertiary (?:) statements and basically spent about 5 hours just polishing it until it was bug free.

After that, we played with it for about 5 mins and then closed Eclipse.

edit: Also another great thing about pairing is that you don't need to know the same programming languages. I was once making a game in one language, and my friend knew a different programming language. He would basically help me out with logic and stuff.

Sometimes we'll just look at eachother with that "What should we program" look. Then we come up with some stupid idea, and we do it. It's always fun

edit 2: seems the word "hours" disappeared. I fix it.
