I love to spend hours learning and optimizing. Drinking coffee, chatting, fixing, optimizing... all the time. Coding in the breaks only - because there is no need to write bugs or hard-coding everything. Oracle is flexible enough to write configuration instead of code :)EasyK8shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01760274616166519433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20160325.post-11252228285490943762009-06-04T13:48:50.287-07:002009-06-04T13:48:50.287-07:00You are so right about taking breaks.

The cleaning-lady for all I care.<br />It is my experience that the single fact that you are forced to tale a step back and stop thinking about possible solutions and explain your problem to someone else often makes you suddenly 'see the light'.<br />In numerous occasions I found the solution to an 'unsolvable' problem just before completing my explanation of the problem to someone else.<br />And sometimes the 'dumbest' question asked by the person you asked help from can make you look at the problem in ways you would never have done on your own.Erik van Roonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01259320666330635488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20160325.post-1617477013952300242009-06-04T10:58:22.357-07:002009-06-04T10:58:22.357-07:00There is also a freeware tool available, which I u...There is also a freeware tool available, which I use on my laptop: Workrave. http://www.workrave.org/ So, try this tool out and keep your money in your pocket. ;-)Patrick Barelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234439984999344625noreply@blogger.com
