Automating Problem-Solving

I've just read this post by Jonathan Ledger about problem-solving, and I've noticed something similar. If I'm writing a piece of software, and can't get my head around how to resolve a particular problem. I go to the thinking room. Most people call it the toilet. (Apologies if this is too much information considering you don't know me!). Two minutes later, more often than not, I have my solution. Ideas often come to me whilst taking my son for a walk in his pram. Different situations, for different purposes. What are your best "epiphany" moments, and for what type of problem-solving/idea-generation? Answer that question, and you'll learn how to solve problems and generate ideas almost on demand.

Googlebot has been around to 14 pages already. Impressive.

Tired of running after hosting companies trying to keep my blogfarms up and running without hitting bandwidth limits. Tired of spinning content. Tired of seeing my workload increase and my income drop. Tired of being at the beck and call of Google's undisclosed adsense payout algorithm (by far my biggest earner, but still not enough to make a major difference to my life). Tired of doing ...
