    Trying out if it works for me. Apparantly it should make you more productive and healthier in the long run. Anyway, it works. Now my job also involves physical torture. This means that I want to get this over with as quickly as possible so I can go home and relax; thus increasing my productivity. :laugh:

      I've been curious about that for a while. The only problem I see, and have read, is that standing all day is no better than sitting all day. I've also considered the treadmill version. Would be nice to walk (as desired) to mix it up some.

      If it moves, compile it

        I have enough room to move around actually, and while listening to music I can occasionally break out some dancing moves every once in a while. Maybe I should do a special victory pose when I commit new code. We set this up last Friday to try it out and I can always go back to my normal desk when I want, but it works surprisingly pleasant thus far. Amazed at how quickly you get used to it. :)

            Absolutely! I'm famous for what's known as the "oh yeah" dance around here :D I may end up trying a standing desk. I have been curious for a while now.

              I'm working from home today, lying on the settee with laptop balanced on my ample belly. Gonna get up in a minute to get some raspberry and blueberry lime drizzle cake from the kitchen.

                      I'm having a desk that can be raised and lowered. I'm using that fuctionality whenever my discs in the back is playing up on me. I can only say that standing up is making a severe impact on my productivity, I can't say how much of that is pain related though. (I suspect a larger part)

                        Given that doctors prescribing othepedic shoes would suggest that cannot be entirely true.
