I've had a few days of relatively luxurious solitude to get some work done. Unfortunately I didn't do that much coding. But not because I was slacking off, it's just that I'm up against a really hard problem. Although maybe that does count as slacking off because this is what I enjoy most about working - battling through the early conceptual stages; trying to fit the whole problem in my head; working through all the possibilities without much to go on, or much to hem me in. I pace around a lot. I make notes like mad when I get a lead. I talk to myself. I pace some more. I have a little porch here and sometimes I go out there and pace and talk to myself some more. Anyway, it's just a really fun time, before the work of limiting your possibilities that some people call 'actually producing something specific.' Joking. But just now I think I nailed the last and most elusive part. It feels great. Cracked open a beer in honor (I'm in a much different time zone so this is more reasonable than the footer on this post makes it seem.) So I just thought I would share. Cheers.
Same thing happens at the beginning of an art project. You get intoxicated with all the possibilities. (then you have to make it actually work and negotiate all the real stuff) The intoxication comes back when the real problems start getting solved.
I don't see any problem with a beer at the stated footer time. Are those Swiss making you crazy or what?
thats what i wuz gonna sey *hiccup* but then i thought i might be an outlier. well have to ask skinny. hes an authority on such things. when exactly is beer o'clock in switzerland?
Personally I don't see a problem with getting out of bed at the stated footer time, but I never drink at breakfast.

"It's five o'clock somewhere."
I think we've got it covered now.
Did you watch Lost? Anyway, "Namaste!"
No, didn't see it yet. Thanks for putting 'spoilers' at the top of your post - it saved me. Will probably watch it on the plane tomorrow.
