...try to remember that boredom is clinging to a state of mind which I detest but am loth to depart from.
Then I try to love this state of mind. Having achieved that, I am glad because I then already have departed, and move on.
This is, essentially, what happens, though I might not always get it until it did.

#1. write some obfuscated code
Well, at least think about writing some obfuscated code.
Whether it gets written depends on how bored I am, how much free time I have, and (mostly) whether any good ideas come to mind.
By the way, I've found out the hard way that thinking about obfuscated code just before falling asleep is not a good way to get to sleep :-O

Indeed, thinking about obfuscations or ANYTHING 'interesting' (whose definition depends on the one doing the thinking, naturally) is orthogonal to getting to bed on time.
Conversely, it seems I don't tend to come up with anything interesting UNLESS I'm currently past "bedtime"... You should've seen how late I was burning the midnight oil for Breaking the indecipherable cipher, courtesy Charles Babbage.. Well, I guess it shows how late in the node :)

I was really hoping for an option like "discuss the finer details of programming theory in terms of the cool sh*t I can do with Perl in a Meditation thread" while I was looking through the survey answers. Bummer.

What no nethack option?!?
Oh well I haven't played nethack in quite a while. All I do now is fire up dunnet on xemacs or psychoanalize zippy or some other game that xemacs offers. It is all I need to cure any boredom or kill some time. | [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] |

Personally, I prefer the hitchhiker game as a time-waster. (Nethack's good fun though.)

Actually, I'm self employed -- so I have many jobs, some of them (those that take up the bulk of my time) involve programming in Perl.
When I worked for wages, I was always involved in interesting projects, which might explain why I've so often been down-sized, right-sized, reorganized, restructured, made redundant, become unnecessary, been over-qualified and/or over-compensated right out of a job. I can't win that game, so I'm not going to play it any more.
But I'm still not bored!

Listen to Bhagavad_Gita
Vivek
-- In accordance with the prarabdha of each, the One whose function it is to ordain makes each to act. What will not happen will never happen, whatever effort one may put forth. And what will happen will not fail to happen, however much one may seek to prevent it. This is certain. The part of wisdom therefore is to stay quiet.
