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

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'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.

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

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...

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. :)

It was broke, so I fixed it.
