Do you code on your own time? On your own projects? Or on open-source projects?
Do you *actually* code on your own time, or do you plan to, but spend more time cruising Reddit?
Jason Huggins, from the Chicago Python group ( http://chipy.org/ ) had the realization that motivation to code is like motivation to exercise -- it might be easier if you get together with somebody else.
So he put together TechCoffee, which is, basically, a time to get together and code. You don't have to work on the same thing as everybody else (indeed, Jason's planning on working on a patch for a Python project. i'll be hacking some Lisp, but nothing yet publicly available), just make a commitment to be there, bring a laptop, and spend time coding instead of surfing or slacking.
TechCoffee is going to meet monday mornings from 6-8am.
For those of you still reading, the first one is going to be this coming Monday the 19th, at the Caribou Coffee, on LaSalle St, just north of Lake St.
More info can be found at http://techcoffee.infogami.com/
Jason and i are committed to be there at 6am. We'd be happy if others joined us.

Cool. A lil early, but I'll still try to make some of them. I might not make this week's, as I expect to be down by uiuc.edu, but count me in otherwise (even though I vote for a later time;)
