    Depends on compilation time of course :) sometimes look through compiler output, sometimes read internet, sometimes make tea, sometimes sleep :D

      I watch the compiler output window or check developer forums or have a chat with colleagues if they are free.

          Getting a new coffee or writing tests and documentation. Talking to colleagues is a key part in getting a new coffee :-)

            Yes I write tests as well during the compilation time, nice to mention.

              I have the wrong job...

              Just think of us poor people from time to time who don't have to wait for compiles and are called out for wasting time online. :P

                That’s another way to put it, yeah ;) Currently I’m messing with 7G of git repository, lots of waiting...

                    Well that's a shame that you don't have slow Internet there in Norway in order you could think on doing something else while waiting for pages to load :P

                          I code. Often times I have a new feature to try out on the new set of compiled libraries, makes the whole thing like an adventure. :) Keeps me busy as well.

                              I usually do some browsing, chatting and tea drinking. However, ever since "XKCD did a comic on compiling":http://xkcd.com/303/, I've been wanting to do swords practice during compiling...

                                  Drink tea, irc, QtDN, work on another project or branch, help colleagues, fix sys admin issues, emails, drink more tea... ;-)
