Argh!

You don't need an 800$ ipad to remember your ideas, just a simple notepad and pen will work.
I try to always carry something around I can write on so when those ideas do come, I can write it down and read it later when I have more time.

Have you ever tried writing something in the middle of the night when you are still half asleep? How in the world do you decipher that???

I once dreamed an elaborate science fiction story, as if I were living it through the eyes of the characters. Woke up, and grabbed a pen and paper and started writing as much of it as I could remember. It faded fast and anything that happened towards the start of the story completely dissipated. But I got enough to begin work on a short story that's very different from anything I've ever read in the past. I should finish it up and post it one day.

Nice! I actually started a promising project. To chronicle my dreams in a collection of poetry. I have like 2 or 3 pieces and ... kinda got lazy. One day I might finish it. It's certainly a novel idea.

Anyway yeah - you should definitely share. And possibly even over at JPiC if you like... Once registrations are open again in the next few days

Well, that is if someone could build it (not me lol). So... I went back and forth weather I should get up and document my idea. I decided I was too tired and just went to sleep.

Now here I am in the morning... and I have spent the last hour trying to remember my idea. I can't, for the life of me, remember! Just driving me nuts! I only remember how good I felt because I thought it would be an extremely useful mod for any forum owner.

Sorry... had to vent.

Whether not weather...

best idea ever: buy a iPad and keep it on side of bed, so it is ready to use when nighty-ideas arise...

Ya I have.,. it might be a little scribbly, but you can get the jist of what you were trying to say.

Then again, there's always a Galaxy Tab. I also like to use my phone for notes. I didn't think I'd like the Swipe Keys, but I've actually gotten pretty good at it.

I thought since we're correcting spelling:
Gist not jist ...

I read somewhere that if you relax and look upwards, and to the left, then you'll be able to remember what you have forgotten. Of course it's never worked for me but it might work for you. Writing things down works best for me. I find that once I've written it down (or typed it) it becomes committed to memory.
You could always have a dictaphone handy ... or a secretary

actually correcting weather as a real error is different from Gist VS jist, as both words mean the same, jist is an alternative spelling of the first.

i like translations... rofl

Honestly, I learned long ago to quit being lazy and get up out of bed when that thought hits you, jot it down then work on your plan of global online dominatio.... err I've said too much already long story short just write it down when it first hits and your set .

iPad can also be paper of bad quality, the media is not important... keep papier and efficient pen on your side-table... a glowing pen is great!

bw Michael, to have your plan executed, you need at least some good time of sleep each night, aside of the baby, wife and dogs barking at the neighbours... i'm all with you on the goal... rofl
