well, it's saturday night, after a very busy week i was looking forward to do some coding tonight. i knew i had this bug in a privately used application and i wanted to solve it tonight. since i didn't have the time to go on with coding since weeks.

turns out i just found the thing in my code and i'm overwhelmed with pleasure. woohoo.

what leads me to this question: what do you do, when you found a bug you were looking for for a looooong time? how do you express your pleasure? d'you jump up and down? go out and run around your block? just go on coding (maybe with a smile on your face)?

me for myself put in some nice music (nirvana with their nevermind-album for tonight), turn up the volume and well, just go on coding (there's always something to finish...).

maybe a question for a poll?

anyways. have fun.

update: after thinking about the question a little bit more and expecially after readingmelora's post further down i maybe should extend the question a little bit more:
how do you express your coding-pleasure(s) (=happyness?) and what brings you back to earth later on?
