Without a doubt, pretty much every single one of my "Eureka" moments has come from one of the following:
1) The shower 2) The toilet 3) A long run 4) Sleeping 5) Heavy drinking (alcohol) Every single one of those is a result of relaxing and letting my conscious mind drop the problem and let the rest of my brain toss it around. (number 5 happens a lot less in programming for me - esp since I rarely drink now - but it was big in college when I was working on architecture projects and had been up for some time. the two downsides to #5 are that if you aren't near your project, you aren't likely to remember the Eureka, and also that it might seem like a great idea, but is actually alcohol induced junk - and I suppose the same could be said of other mind altering substances) ------------------------------------------------------------------- There are some odd things afoot now, in the Villa Straylight.
