coding get-togethers

[deborah]

This poll should not be construed as me making any promises, but is generally feeling people out. I will say that I get so much more programming done when I am with other dreamwidth people, even if I'm not asking them for any help at all. And sometimes asking for help just constitutes talking your problem out loud to somebody else who understands it.

I am anonymizing responses because the final question could be used to tell people where you live.

oh yeah? I wonder how many other people who do DW work are in the area, hrm.

[momijizukamori]

I am To The North, but it's close enough for a weekend trip!

[batrachian]

Close enough that I would seriously consider taking some time to roadtrip.

Not as close as Momiji, tho. ;)

[foxfirefey]

Oh hey, I know where you are! I think a round trip air flight would be less of a hassle and not that much more expensive that a roadtrip, ha. Unless you wanted to roadtrip, I suppose.
