I have a massive (seems like countably infinite) backlog
of books that I haven't gotten around to reading, so in
moments of mind-death I can pick through the mountain, find
an interesting book, and start reading. Many of those books
are technical in some sense, so it's not too far-fetched to
expect that I'll find an interesting problem
somewhere in whatever tome I pick up, which leads to
coding.
I highly recommend trolling through used and
remainder/overstock book stores. You can usually find some
good books for very low prices (around here, they seem to
be mostly Dover math books for around CDN $5).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
