I say Yay!
-
I just cracked down on a bug that was haunting me for 3 full days. It disturbed my sleep, it prevented me from pretending to be a socially normal person, it didn't let me cook something nice in the weekend, etc. But the chaos is under control now, and I can now return to my normal life. The funniest thing is that I got the "lead" on how to track it down while I was brushing my teeth this morning. I was brushing, and suddenly yelled very loudly "Oh, yeah"! and thankfully there was nobody at home. :)

...I say ho![^] I had pretty much the same situation at lunch today. I hunted a bug all morning long - and THERE was the solution! so sweet, so simple.

Thats why Elders have always said that we should brush our teeth daily. Then you could have been socially accpetable and discovered the bug on Day 1 itself :)

Brushing the teeth is for the weak. I did it only to get a lead on the bug. Klingon programmers just rub a sandpaper on their gums and teeth once every month. :)

Know the feeling - I have now learnt to leave something I cannot solve and let the old noodle work though the problem all by itself. Its as though, sometimes, the move you zero in on a problem the more you block out possible solutions...

I'm a morning person and the most frustrating intractable bugs in the afternoon turn into, "oh yeah, of course" the next morning. That being said, I had never previously considered a loud outburst and consequential spitting toothpaste all over the mirror as an alternative method. I'll give it a try.

Those are the times where you have to switch off the targeting computer, let your instincts guide you and then use the force :)

It worked well, but I've to warn you that it did make me look like a complete dork for a few seconds. Not to mention the mirror and tiles that will need cleaning up. :)

So you need to switch off a targeting computer for that?

You definitely need to watch where you're cueing lest you pot the brown when going for the pink, or vice-versa.

Thanks for the tip! I'll simply brush with my glasses off. Thus, will I see neither myself in a dorkish light nor the spittle emblazoned mirror . . . I can then leave the cleanup for someone else.

Interesting how solutions to problems at work occur when one is furthest removed from it. I (think) I've solved a bug from Friday while heating up (I don't cook) dinner this weekend. Looking forward to seeing if I'm right. /ravi
