"I have a short attention span, a very short one, and I have very, abnormally poor energy levels, to such a point that while my physical strength can be up to snuff, my mind is always running at 8Mhz. I am a programmer. This is a problem. However, I find that some places are better to code at than others. If I can sit somewhere upright, looking down at the monitor, in a comfortable position, I can sometimes get some work done, and if my monitor is large, soft, and bright, I am better off still. Do soylentils have issues with location? What would you suggest for being able to sit down and code for hours, something I have NEVER been able to do?"

I'm not a robot like you. I don't like having disks crammed into me... unless they're Oreos, and then only in the mouth.

This idea is not as crazy as it sounds. I wouldn't necessarily recommend sitting in a bar to program, but having a drink might help. My problem is that my mind is often too active to concentrate on one thing for very long... I keep getting distracted by things going on around me, or even within my own head. A drink or two calms all of that right down. Another thing that works for me, especially when I can't have a drink, is to listen to music with headphones... something that I know well already, and that has a relatively steady beat. It seems to regulate me somewhat and occupies the ADDled parts of my brain so that the rest of it can actually get to work.
I am a traveler of both time and space. Duh.
