So, where does everybody code at?

I know most people here actually code for a living. I'm not quite there in my life because I haven't even put a dent on my ICS degree. But, I'm usually always at Starbucks hacking away at something.

Anyone else goto Starbucks or cafe to code? I'm always at Starbucks in Waikele(I also work there). Would be nice to be around developers or we could start a weekly thing going where we meet up, have a coffee, and code even if it is on completely projects!

I wonder if we have enough developers in Hawaii to start a Bar/FooCamp? I sit on a mailing list with people who run... http://www.saturdayhouse.org/ and I wonder if there would be enough interest in Hawaii?; ▶ Reply to This

I could imagine such a place in Honolulu, then we could add the Honolulu Saturday House as a place where we spend time coding!; ▶ Reply to This

I got a AT&T wifi account for $20/mo so I can get connected at Starbucks (& Borders), Barnes & Nobles, McDonalds, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, and sometimes Glazers.; ▶ Reply to This

I also can't seem to be as productive at home as I would be out in some coffee shop. Like today, before work I came in early and I finally got around to finishing up my little django bookmark repository that I wish I could deploy.; ▶ Reply to This

Sweet! Plus they offer free coffee refills, too. I'll try that out a bit later.; ▶ Reply to This

When RoadRunner is down at home, I go to Starbucks and pay $9.99 (rip off!) to use their WiFi; ▶ Reply to This
