Remote Pair Coding Idea

Yesterday Kyle Baley mentioned (here) that he had given some thought about doing remote pairing with various people as a learning exercise. I know he has mentioned this to me in the past and I always thought it was a great idea. However, I was never in a position to join in a session cause I always had to be in the office.

However, now that I am at home most days (3 weeks a month) I have the time and the want.

So here is what I am thinking. I would be open to doing some pairing (or could be more than 2 of us) sessions from time to time. We could code anything from my stuff (aka dimecasts) to work stuff (verbal NDA needed) or your stuff.

If anyone is interested drop me a line.

Till next time,

I wouldn't mind doing a session. It might make for a good web cast.
