When I lay down to sleep but before I am actually asleep - I call this twilight time.
I recognized a problem in the hex stream of the socket return... (in client from call to server)
I immediately wrote the solution on a scratch piece of paper I keep on the night stand.
Unfortunately when I woke up the next day, what I wrote looked like chicken tracks.
On the ride in the next day the solution came back to me.
The team writing the server code, which I had never seen, were amazed when I told them the method and offset in the server code with the problem.
But I never wave bye bye

GeneralRather, when trying to sleep, and why! Pin
