    How on earth do you get anything done? The constant "context switching" in my brain every 5 minutes would totally destroy my productivity. I'd become a useless forum reading blob that spits out 10 lines of code an hour :laugh: If I force myself to concentrate it usually takes me about 10 minutes to really get going, and then I can just keep going indefinitely until I get distracted by something and lose focus. As wonderful as CP is, I think someone should do a study as to the productivity impact CP forums have lol.

    Depending on the code, that might not be bad. But if your boss treats you (read: me) like a code monkey, a code monkey he gets.

    Visual Studio is an excellent GUIIDE.

        the Internet warns me each time my name pops up. Doesn't it do that for you? did you forget to renew your subscription? :)

            Okay...so...now that I've recovered from my sleep deprivation... I've seen it numerous times - a thread is started, and deep within that thread someone mentions [insert regular CP member here], and that person somehow sees that message and responds. You can't possibly be sitting on the forum, hitting F5 every once in a while, and reading through all the new messages, can you? Is there some sort of notification or IM style tool I'm missing? Or do you just have a LOT of friggin spare time on your hands? I tried "watching" the lounge but that didn't do anything...I didn't get any emails of new threads...so what's the point of that? You know what would be really cool - an MSN Alerts implementation for CodeProject. I love how I can get notifications in an MSN message instead of my email if I'm logged in.
