simeon2000, you have been struck down with ennui. You need a holiday, a change of scene. Forget about the desk for a while. Go home early.

Go to the park, smell the flowers. Go to an art gallery, or the theatre. Read a book on an entirely new topic - learn a new language (a human language, or a computer one if you must).

Do some sport - you'll be suprised how much better you can think when extra blood's pumped to your brain. Go sailing, sailing's fun.

simeon2000, my prescription is a long lunch with a friend and a bottle of Merlot. Inspiration has to take you by suprise, and that won't happen if you're waiting for it.

andye :)
