Don't.
Lines of code are a terrible measurement. Good programmers often write
code that has more functionality, is more maintainable *and* is much
smaller than the code of "newbies".
Furthermore it's bad for you - you don't spend a constant amount of
effort per source line. Some parts are easy while others take much time.
And some areas of work (database setup, site structure planning etc)
produce zero lines of code.
