"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?"

    Interesting suggestions. I may try some of those. New stuff may be too interesting, making it distracting. I have tried to listen to some calm streams from di.fm but they tend to be too new and too interesting. Beethoven's 14th piano sonata at least has the virtue of not having changed much over the past couple decades even if it is a little cheesy because its been way overplayed. Also I don't want elevator music. There seems to be a fine line of interesting, but not too interesting. Which is how I personally ended up on classical, although I can see individual preference being important.
