in reply to Strange Coding Tales

I find myself coding when I should be sleeping.

Quite literally, I've been on this kick where my best solutions come while I'm trying to sleep. Occasionaly, I can fight the urges off, but many times I'll end up getting <6 hours of sleep, which normally means extra coffee in the morning.

    Once, I actually found myself coding in my sleep. I'm not kidding. I was thinking about a project I was really interested in, designing it in my head. I went to bed, and dreamed about coding it, though I hadn't written a single character of it yet. I woke up, remembered the dream, and set down the code.

    It worked.

      You think that's bad? My first summer of college I had two jobs, one was data entry at a warehouse. I only worked 5 hours 2nd shift at the data entry job, but the first few weeks (and I kid you not) I went to bed and dreamt of data entry.

      Yeah, that's right. Sitting at a desk entering alphanumeric data. Fun stuff, huh?
