Does anyone actually write/plan a prject before by writing out pseudo code?

Personally i dont, my ideas free flow down, and i add comments so i no what does what. I am asked to write it out fo rthis documentation they require at work, well they will never look at it i dont think, I just feel it is a waste of my time.

On large projects I do. I DO NOT do flow charts though.

Only on large projects... unfortunately, flow charting my programs is part of their documentation process at work.

I prefer not to use pseudo code. It's too simplistic for my liking so I prefer to write my work in source code.

Sometimes I get these annoying contracts where one person says to another person what they want which eventually makes it way all the way down to me, and in those circumstances--usually smaller projects--there is no point in flowing them.

Otherwise in large projects I am bound to flowchart them (though I am not one for pseudo code) and I actually have a binder with sections in it that I use to keep relatively firm design points for my projects, and a scratch bad where I can brainstorm things out.

I usually start writing, flying by the seat of my pants. Then I'll get my ideas down...print it out and make some wierd looking designs and notes on the code, so I can remember what I want to do to it later.

UML deisgning is something I also want to start looking into, since it provide a complete overview of your entire project namespace(s) so you do not need to run back through code to look up function and variable members of various objects.

Also another great way to layout the physical framework of you application before jumping into it.
