Looking at this for about 10 minutes, it seems pretty intuitive. I don't know much about javascript though, so someone with more knowledge would be better answering your question.

Thanks for the response. I was hoping you would slap it with the labels you mentioned earlier. It means I'm not crazy! I like the analogy as well.

Thanks for the replies, and the music. Have a good one.

"melodramatic, over-produced, formulaic and not forward-thinking music"

Haha. I do see much of that. Although I can't say it's always bad. What's your take on this track? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U80l-YzcGsQ

Liking this stuff you linked. I know what you mean by some music being too attention-grabbing to listen to while coding though.

As a musician, I love it. That's probably half due to roughly 70% of my songs ending up as trance by the time I'm done though. What is it about it that you dislike exactly?

I cannot agree more. Often it makes me wish there was some type of program/device that plays music based on concentration levels.

What happens when I start getting into something complicated, is that I notice the music. Until this point, it's just kind of in the background. It feels like my brain's saying, "Not enough CPU to play music and work on this problem. Please eliminate the problem."
