Your preferred programming environment

For me it's some 80's thrash on my headphones, a cup of tea to hand and sat somewhere dark to aid the focus.. how do you set yourselves up for a decent coding session?

I'd just come in here expecting an IDE discussion.

lol, yeah I realised that just after I hit the submit button

At least I get paid

One of the best motivators for coding, IMHO.. that and free tea/coffee here at work. Mind you, having to slum it and reverse-engineer some archaic ASP intranet site I inherited is seriously trying my patience today.. why oh why won't the powers that be let me re-write it in ASP.NET, could have re-written it in half the time it's currently taken me to make the changes ot the current spaghetti ASP code

Nice cool office, big clear desk, supportive chair (i.e. not too comfy) I prefer to work at work, not home.. I can't do work at home, it just doesn't happen, far too many distractions and I prefer to keep them very much seperate.

Nice chilled bottle of diet coke, and a decent machine! This POS T21 with old monitor royally sucks.

Strangely, I have found that my productivity is actually higher when I work from home - we can vpn into the corporate network and do everything as if we were in the office. We can also make calls using MS Communicator to anyone else in the company so we don't even have to stump up any phone costs. It should be even better when NTL upgrade us 2mbit users to 4mbit down/400kbit up

I was using a T21 until we got a pallet-load of 43's in.. man, what a breath of fresh air! Mind you, VS2005 still takes a while to load
