I don't suppose the office counts as a strange place, now, does it..?

And after reading the other posts in this thread, writing code on a napkin in a bar doens't seem really strange, either.

How about sitting at the shore of Lough Belfast, trying to think of a solution to my problem that was better than the solution I already had, scribbling code into the sand? The good things about that is, your most stupid mistakes get washed away by the waves. The bad thing is, your most brilliant code as well...
