I do this too.
It's quite lonely living alone in a single bedroom apartment. The little extra background keeps me from going nuts at times.
I find it easy to code while having the TV on or if I'm just toying around a small window on my display in the bottom corner. The secret I have found is to put on one of two types of shows: 1. Something you have already seen, I really enjoy 24 for example, having it the background when I'm familiar with it, but still enjoy it, helps. 2. Documentaries or something similar such as Top Gear or PBS shows are good choices.
New shows that require my attention or movies I have never seen, but want to just don't work for me.
- ChrisNorstrom 15y agoThat can really mess you up if you're like me and don't get out much. I strongly suggest moving in with a room-mate. Keep trying different people out until you find someone you're compatible with. I mean living alone is great if you're surrounded by people at work and throughout the day but working alone + living alone can seriously make you feel like you're going insane.
- b3b0p 15y agoThanks for the feedback. However, I work with a bunch of people all day. I don't work at home. The cool thing is my work place is nearly across the street from my apartment.
