The worst is when you are sick with the flu... and you have one of those repeating dreams that you keep waking up from and as soon as you go back to sleep it restarts. a few months back I had one about some code I was working on, but it was more than just writing code... it was like classes where extensions of my body, I could feel them as part of me and there was this strange organic understanding of their purpose and how it all fit together but something did not jive. I had to keep juggling and reconfiguring things to achieve some sort of mental peace and hopefully end this uncomfortable nagging that was preventing me from regaining my sanity. And just as everything seemed to make sense I would wake up in confusion, unable to grasp what I just experienced... It made so much sense seconds ago... it was all perfectly clear... I was the program and I could feel its entirety running all at once, but once I woke the concept was completely alien. after a few minutes I would go back to sleep only to restart the whole process... each time starting with a confusing mess that I would slowly work into perfection, only to wake up again and restart every half hour, all night. the next morning my girlfriend told me I was talking in my sleep the whole time, but she could not make sense of anything I was saying . . . I wish I had an audio recording of that...it would be quite entertaining to hear... I imagine I used the word if a lot. As for mental breakthroughs in dreams... I've had my fare share of those too, the most I have ever learnt about painting was in a dream, and my most creative ideas and writing stem from concepts developed in dreams. But the most mind blowing dream I have ever had ended with a brief interaction between my conscious and subconscious mind, It was like I had become aware of this whole part of my brain that I do not have access to and it winked back at me, confirming its presence. It was a very long vivid dream involving some sort of puzzling mystery (I don't remember the details) but there where all these tiny clues and I was scrambling to piece them together, it was like watching a movie, there was this big twist at the end and everything fell into place... it was so lifelike, but as I solved the situation I entered a lucid state and realised I am in a dream, then shuttered at the thought that I planned this whole thing out, I set up the clues, I knew where this was going, just not consciously, and at that moment, for a brief second it was as if the man behind the curtain had a little chuckle

LoL, you aren't the only ones. I can tolorate him, but my brother despises him ... it's funny to hear it comming from someone else.

I love PHP, I used to use .net but then had to start hosting a PHP website and rebuild and integrate the missing MYSQL database. By analyzing the existing code and visiting http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp for anything I did not understand, I managed to have the basics figured out in an afternoon. I was shocked by how simple it was to pick up, and I will never look back at .NET. I still visit w3schools any time I’m foggy about something I haven’t used in a while… but I think it’s the only resource you need. since then every website I build is PHP/MYSQL/JavaScript/HTML/CSS and sometimes XML …soon I plan to take a peak at ruby on rails. Btw, IE hates HTML/CSS …(and I hate IE) PHP is handled on the server and only it’s output is seen by the browser.

It's cause your using microsoft... Microsoft is responsible for all problems, even on non microsoft devices.

I read every code project article linked in the daily news letters except ones on the MSDN blog or anything related to .net or windows phone 7. I battle ignorance with ignorance.

PHP is the brilliant pot head who is supper easy going, he comes off as somewhat brain-dead with lax half ass lingo and vague statements but it turns out his simple dialect holds plenty of inferred meaning. He also manages to solve problems with unexpected ease and gets along with almost everyone.
