This is a highly YMMV topic!

Personally if go for classical or Jazz, phone on 'busy', email shut down, pager off, cell phone powered down, and loads of caffine and nicotine.

This, however, is a utopia unattainable in normal user space. So, I like to bemuse my coworkers by sitting zazen in my cube. I trained my manager to turn and walk the other way when I assume this state. He knows things reached a critical mass and his best tack is active avoidance.

Customers don't get it though. What's up with that? HTH

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
