When I hit a wall, I usually do something like this:

    1. Google
    2. Stare at ceiling.
    3. Do something unrelated, like read HN, while my subconscious ruminates.
    4. Try again.
I like to figure it out without bugging other people, unless it's something stupid and I know a guy who knows the answer.

I do find that If I do bug people and verbalize the problem (same as in a forum) it helps me to find a solution.
