Gotcha -- thought you meant Google Docs just for remote stuff or something. But even in same room, using Google Docs for code and paper for diagrams, etc. That works for me.
Coffee shops would be obvious easy places to meet. They can be a little loud, but they stay open later than SPL. Does SPL have meeting areas that are for collaboration? (purposely saying "areas" here to differentiate from meeting "rooms" that might require ahead-of-time reservation). -- Nate On Wed, Sep 25, 2013 at 12:47 PM, Maria McKinley <mar...@mariakathryn.net>wrote: > Google Docs + real sheets of paper! > > > On Wed, Sep 25, 2013 at 12:39 PM, Nate Sanders <n...@natesanders.com>wrote: > >> My writing on any sort of digital device like that is basically >> unreadable.
