I have a vast array of first-hand observances which complement my own
intuitive feeling, that buggerising around with computers is best done
around midnight to 2am. The best tech-heads are always "non compis mentis"
before midday.
Why is that? One of the unsolved problems of Computing Science ....
Because you generally don't get annoyed by people walking up to you asking
questions at that time. You can get absorbed inbto what you are doing
without being interrupted and losing your train of thought every time
someone bugs you.
Its a time when you can pretty much be anti-social and get away with it
for the most part.
