hmmm....that wasn't -quite- what i was going for... :)
it wasn't meant as a general problem-solving flowchart, either; it's just what i do most of the time. ask questions on the internet or of peoples, pick an idea that looks promising, if it completely fails try another idea, but if it only partially fails tweak it, if that fails try another idea or tweak it again, etc etc.
