    You can always go in to the woods and consider the entire world your bathroom. :)

        If you are working alone and get stuck it's important to take a step back sometimes to review what you are doing and make sure you are on the correct course. If you are trying to solve a specific problem take a break from your research and go for a walk, take some fresh air or spend some time on the toilet. Especially the toilet, or shower. That's where the real epiphanies tend to materialize. Who's with me!? Toilet style problem solving.:java:

        I know what you mean, just getting away from the screen can be enough. A toilet break or getting a brew, anything like that. Sometimes, my walk to the tube on my commute home can be the most productive time of the day if I have a big problem to overcome.

              At least something's going to materialize on the toilet :rolleyes:

                ..I keep a dry-marker on the toilet. The inside of the door contains notes. Yeah, sounds crazy. Just try it.

                      I've been told some of my best work is produced when I'm on the toilet. Hey, wait a minute...
