But I can't create like that - I often need to get out of the usual environment and sit with pad of paper and pencil to work things out. Don't need a computer when doing deep conceptualization. Actually, taking a shower or hitting the hot tub often helps here. That was lovely cheese. --Wallace, The Wrong Trousers

But I also found the steam room useful for having a think. That was lovely cheese. --Wallace, The Wrong Trousers

"It grew, as the sum of a lot of separate people's ad-hockery, most of those by people who had no idea what they were doing, and would gladly pound screws with a hammer all year long, for lack of acquaintance with the concept of screwdrivers." - Rick Moen
