    My Aha moment came when I became a pencil sketch animation for an afternoon.

      you have been stuck for hours and hours trying to solve something or fix something , whether be it an assignment, work or a home project. You feel you have checked every single tutorial Google had to offer and none of them helped :wtf: . Just as you are about to give up, a random thought comes to you,to which by some miracle is the unified solution to your problem. You get this rush and suddenly you scream out "Aha!" Have you ever had that moment? Please share your aha! moment.

      Yes, it happens when I'm about to hit the "post message" button on CP.

                  Any support I provide is from afar. Anyway, you know you're getting old when you realise that it's stupid to pass up on a toilet opportunity.

                    I feel more often its a "DOH!" moment, as Why didn't I think of that much earlier or How could I have missed that. Just earlier today I was trying to get some AjaxToolkits working and I couldn't understand why my changes weren't coming through. Till DOH!, I edited one page and viewed another. After that everything came together and I had been right all along.

                            I have my “Aha!” moment every Friday after the end of the work day.

                              I can't remember exactly, but those moments are fun, plus the info stays with you forever. I mean it's nice/fun at the end, sometimes I even laugh at myself. But, until the "aha" moment, really not fun.

                              All the best, Dan

                                    you have been stuck for hours and hours trying to solve something or fix something , whether be it an assignment, work or a home project. You feel you have checked every single tutorial Google had to offer and none of them helped :wtf: . Just as you are about to give up, a random thought comes to you,to which by some miracle is the unified solution to your problem. You get this rush and suddenly you scream out "Aha!"

                                      I have one every time I manage to pull off a righteous dump (that's getting more difficult to do as I get older).

                                        Unfortunately, the information evidently did not stay with you forever in this case. ;-)

                                          you have been stuck for hours and hours trying to solve something or fix something , whether be it an assignment, work or a home project. You feel you have checked every single tutorial Google had to offer and none of them helped :wtf: . Just as you are about to give up, a random thought comes to you,to which by some miracle is the unified solution to your problem. You get this rush and suddenly you scream out "Aha!" Have you ever had that moment? Please share your aha! moment.

                                          I had one when I solved the Poincaré conjecture. I let some Russian guy take the credit, though.
