Strange things you do amidst a depressive crisis when you brain doesn’t act quite the way it should act under normal circumstances.

• You write code quickly and obsessively. (In a few days I started to write two small utilities, one to manipulate partitions in a hard disk image and other that allows userspace access to filesystem images without loop-mouting them. These can be useful for some in-house projects, so this forced recovery gave me the much sought-after time to implement them.)
  
• You don’t sleep much. And you don’t feel sleepy, you just use the time to do stuff.

• You assemble 50% of a 3000 piece jigsaw puzzle in just a couple of days.
• You translate poems, twisting them into zombie stories.
• You grow a beard, but of course you’ll shave before anyone sees it.
• You take the plunge to try KDE 4.1, you hate it and swear never to try it again.
• You read books, magazines, articles, manuals, documents, newspapers, websites, all the things you didn’t have time to before.
• You feel like a complete idiot for being acting strangely, but it’s just your brain malfunctioning.
