In the code zone
Writing code is like spinning plates - after about 20 minutes I get them all going - all those variables, arrays and what's in all the objects is laid out like a map and I can type as I think. But it just takes one interuption - a phone call or some vulture coming in my office to pick my brain, and everything comes crashing down. So I am a miserably anti-social programmer - no music, no talk radio and most of all, no people - just me, the code, and a cup of tea to sip from as I compile and review. So the rest of the time, I'm my usual friendly self but if you come in and I'm facing that screen - don't bug me, I'm codin'...

Kewl!
I'm glad to find someone else who recognizes this.
Hard to get others, especially people who have never been in the zone, to acknowledge it.
Need to have a flag on the desk, when it's up no one is to interrupt - lol.
I figure a 30 second interruption can cause a 15-30 minute recovery period.
