Subj : Eliminating distractions while programming To : comp.programming From : rex.eastbourne Date : Fri Jul 15 2005 10:29 am I'm sitting in a very noisy office right now (multiple people talking about recent posts on Slashdot). I just can't focus on my project. What do you folks do to fix this situation? Music distracts me, and earplugs don't do enough. I've seen drummers wear headphones that apparently block sound very well. What are these called? I couldn't find any on Froogle. Unable to concentrate, Rex .
