What do you do when you have nothing to do?

[federico strati]

I like the idea presented so far of an Unified Field Theory... actually, such a theory in part already does exist, it is called the "Standard Model". What is missing, and till now is over thirty years it is discussed, is a good theory of gravity from a quantistic point of view. So far, the principal attempt, namely the "String M Theory", didn't yet produce any real experimental prediction, not even about such things of academic interest here in this forum such as the "Rapture". What I will do if I were in your position? It is spring, as such the Como Lake in Italy is as beatiful as ever, I would just take my board & rig and do a bit of windsurfing ... there are always thermal winds on the lake due to the difference in temperature between night and day and the presence of mountains just "diving" into the lake... Instead, I'm here sitting in my office writing a system in PL/SQL for a mad DataWareHouse, for mad clients, for an ETL batch of some billions records to work each day. Cheers Federico

CP always helps you kill some time but if you hang a lot in Q&A you will feel like killing some of the OP

Thank You. Managed to kill 3 mins today on reading your post. :laugh:

Hi CS2011, Sorry to hear about your burn ! Maybe this "forced vacation" will actually give you some quality time to think about what's of real value to you. In my own life, at times, there have been what I perceived as "involuntary down-times," but often my perceptions changed if I allowed myself to "sit still," to come to a state of "profound rest," during those periods. Yes, easy to say, and more difficult to find than the murderer who killed time yesterday. to your health, best, Bill

Now that is a suggestion that should not be given lightly to very many people in the world. Are you sure it's a good idea, Dave? ;P

Sleep, Sleep, Sleep, and When you wake up Eat, Surf Net; don't know if you like reading novels for killing time; but then sleep again.

This could be a new feature. When a question gets downvoted enough, the CP goon squad is automatically sent to the guy who asked the question.

You need to find a website, somewhere where a lot of techies go that you can put tyour own content. A sort of project for publishing stuff about coding. :sigh: I wish there was such a place...

Fill in the gap :) As you said earlier there are a few things you need to cover up for this new responsibility, and accident happened because of the same. IMHO this is a great opportunity to cover up :D
