Kain,

If you're keen for a sunny ride down one of the most visually stunning commuter corridors in Australia, you're welcome to come and hang with us in beautiful Wollongong. We've got a bunch of spare desks, ADSL2, and a kick ass collection of tunes to enjoy.

We won't even make you buy coffee, and your laptop will be safe if you head to the loo.

Else, I'll have a word with a mate of mine who just got some office space in Kent St set up. He's still getting desks installed, and I'm not sure about his spare capacity levels (I just checked it out for the first time today).

Geoff

Subject: [SiliconBeach] Anyone got a square to spare?

Does anyone have a desk that a colleague and I might share to work on
a project for a day next week? Mick's Sydney-co-working space is still
a couple of months away and I need  a low cost option to operate from
once a week. Better yet, does anyone have a desk to rent out?

[Lesson Learnt] On my first day out i thought i'd set myself up in a
coffee shop with wi-fi and work from there. In theory it should have
been simple, purchase a few coffee's and i'd have an office for the
day. Instead, I froze my ass off. Plus i drank so much coffee that i
needed to go to the loo every 20 minutes... but what do you do with
your laptop whilst your gone, i'd be madness to take it with you. So i
downloaded a motion sensor alarm for my laptop and when i tested it,
it wouldn't turn off until i yanked the battery out of the bottom.
Needless to say my first day out was a failure.

If anyone knows of space that's up for sharing in Sydney please drop
me a line.

Cheers

Kain
