    When do you work best? When can you concentrate on something you are doing for longest? When do you get moments of inspiration?

    Its quite strange, i work best in the mornings however i get tired/annoyed very quickly if its some kind of repetitive task. In the evenings i have much more patience but i cant concentrate one one thing for too long. Just before i fall asleep i often come up with various ideas/lyrics/theories. Its quite random and it just happens. That why i keep a pen and a bit of paper near my bed because i tend to forget everything the next morning lol.

    Is that a stab at my post?

    If so, pretty funny, think I'll give you a bit of rep.

    If I'm doing design work I prefer to do it late at night, not sure why but the dark seems to help me. I spend my mornings answering emails n such, then I get down to the repetitive stuff in the afternoon. Of course one of the first things I do when I get up and turn the computer on is check the DP boards. :)

    We leave our main network computer on all the time...maybe reboot once a week or if it gets cranky. I think it would be silly to have all three of our systems on all the time though. :D

    Well i bought a new fan last year lol that basically has a built in temperature sensor. When you first turn your computer on the temperature goes up and then it just stopps rising. Its like servers really, they can work for ages.

    some more info here

    At night, midnight to @ 6:00 AM. Especially in the summer when it's hot in the day and cool at night.
