I agree! This helped me as well. I was having programming block for a while so I got away from the computers and started exercising. It was the best thing I ever did! Now, I'm back to my old self again not to mention picked up a few side effects from lifting (ie. self-confidence, more energy and definitive clarity) Sometimes sitting in front of a computer all day just doesn't cut it for the brain. In order for the brain to operate at its best, the body must be running efficiently as well. Think of it this way. The brain runs off of blood. Simalar to a car running off of gas. If you're in shape via cardiovascular, then the heart pumps more blood to the brain. Hence, no more programmers block.
I know I'm not contributing to the discussion but I just wanted to say that after reading comments on this altercation I've been inspired to patent a program that I recently wrote. I was contemplating filing for a provisional patent but after listening to the discussion contributed by slashdot nerds, I have decided that the idea/design has potential for a full patent. And who says slashdot doesn't make a difference? Great topic. Slashdot never ceases to amaze me.
