It’s 3:43 AM right now and I just put the finishing touches on a clever little bit of Javascript. I spent two days at work on it, unable to figure it out, and have been thinking about it off and on all through the holidays. It was only at 3:00 in the morning, while staring at the ceiling, unable to sleep, that my mind puzzled through the logic gates and I was able to finish the script. Somebody wrote a blog post recently about how inspiration strikes at odd times, especially if you’re a programmer. They were spot on; I wish I could remember who it was so I could link to them. Oh well, I’ll probably remember it as soon as I go back to being unable to sleep.
