When I'm really working the music becomes something to ignore, forcing me to concentrate. Even when I put on an albumn of music I really love, I sometimes get going on the code, and come up for air (so to speak) a while later and realize that the record's been over for quite a while. Of course, this only happens when life is cooking. When I'm just coding, I try and find things that I enjoy (Vangelis, Yes, The Who, Jethro Tull, UK), but not something I love (Genesis, Jackson Browne, etc.) or I get distracted by it. Ken P.S. Radio is often fine, but I can get a whole thought train destroyed by a shitty song (Rod Stewart, say), so it can be dangerous... ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
