I have only one thing to say and I shall see how long it takes to make it. I may not have much to say because I am not paid to program. But I feel that the code a person creates should be their own no matter who they work for. Now I will also say that if you are taking up work time to work on a program that is for your own personal use then that is a conflict of intrest. You should leave your work at work and your personal programs at home. I do program a little at home and I would be very upset if I programmed for a living and was told that everything that I ever created while working for the company (wether at work or at home) was the property of the companies. Personal programs should be the property of the programmer and the programs used to increase productivity at work could be considered the property of the companies, with rights going to the programmer.
