I need to be in the right frame of mind. I need it to be quiet sometimes especially when having a bad hair day. When everything is going good I can have 3 or 4 pc's all running and be using each 1 for different reasons and have the music blasting. It also depends on the mood what i listen too. I also like to lock myself in the room so no one can disturb me...usually the female of the household This frame of mind calls for Eazy E and with a bit of singing at the top of my voice which is usually the stay away from me warning XD. I also smoke my nuts off before during and after and can often turn round to carry on with another pc and think damn, what was i doing on here....oh yeah that was it =P. I also use the forum in different ways which is to my own advantage. If i need a break i will scan the boards to see whats happening and see where i can stick my oar in so to speak....reply to posts. I also use the boards to give myself a break when stressed but at these times even if i know i have something to add i generally don't and not out of ignorance i just often find it better if i don't but i will say that taking my mind of what problem im having by reading posts, testing etc does make me feel better inside. I often get a customer calling and while trying to work can find myself giving yes and no answers to questions i haven't even heard lol. I often wonder what i was refering to in the replies i was giving. Best thing to do for me is stop answer the phone and then get back to where i were which isn't always possible. If i want to learn something or work on a job i haven't done before then i tend to work at night and then often don't sleep much. The twilight zone is when i can get most things done that i need too. Things for me would probably be easier if i didn't try to do more than 1 thing at once but then i get another idea and just have to turn another pc on before i forget the idea.
Yes i am weird but this is just what comes when ya mind is stretched from the outset. A few years of hyperactivity, insomnia and the desire to learn new things every day. Computers to me are not just a job but also a hobby and for as long as i enjoy them il keep working what ever the environment
When i get the chance to code, i do. Generally, there's people over here talking my ear off when i try, so i can't get much done, heh...
But when i do get the chance, i have either no music or soft music (can't be loud, too distracting). Some finger food and a 12 pack of soda is always there too. Among all that, whenever my computer is being a pain and i can't debug something to the point of being pissed off, i always have a porno ready to ... calm my nerves...
I must be wearing my beer hat.. (filled with coke cans ofcourse..) XD
Lol.. jk
When im in a productive mood.. I usually like to idle in a couple forums.. be locked away in my bedroom with a good supply of coke.. with laptop + desktop..
I hate silence.. (Its weird.. i just hate it) I must sleep with the tv on etc.. its not fear or anything.. I sleep in the dark etc
I usually like just relaxing.. in bed with the computer watching movies etc..
Again there must always be noise..!.. lol But im not really interested in the music scene.
Oh and the airconditioner is nice to have no for noise.. XD
when i m coding.. usually i have to handle two keyboards
i just keep a water bottle and nothing else..
i dont eat anything.. i dont talk to anyone,
i never set my eyes of the monitors as my work demands me to concentrate a lot.
no music, no caffeine, no smoke....
i smoke, i sip beer and i listen to music only when i've finished working.
well im not consistent with what i do when i code and im not a serious coder anyway.
but ill tell you what i really hate. a lot of random noise pollution, distractions like classmates and just annoying behavior.
my comp class gets really noisy sometimes and its absolutely impossible to code because every 10 minutes someone goes like "dude 2girls1cup" or
something absolutely retarded (yet funny but im trying to learn here)
its just hell for coding and learning. thats what im trying to not do
also ill share my photoshop working habit.
music that suits the theme of what im doing and sometimes no music at all. peace, quiet and a distraction free environment.
it works wonders.
