We'd love to have any and all of you in to use our place as your own. You wouldn't be the first to make us your office. Stay as long as you like and yes, free wifi! :) @merchantscoffee Facebook: Merchants of Green Coffee Hey Y’all,

Way more room, wifi, way more laid back (less new media douches) and the coffee is far superior, IMO (although I'm a confessed coffeee-snob). Other good coffee spots (thought don't know about wifi): <a href="http://www.moonbeancoffee.com" rel="nofollow">Moonbean in Kensington</A> <a href="http://www.balzacscoffee.com/" rel="nofollow">Balzacs in Distillery</A) Article in WestJet's Up! Magazine just did a review of Vancouver's best coffee house virtual offices -- why couldn't they have done TO?

Dark Horse (http://darkhorseespresso.com/temp_site.html), Mercatto downtown (good espresso!), Red Rocket, and so on. Hell, put in a little website, let people vote. In fact, better still, make a nice little tool for people to organize coffee/code meetings that don't have to involve you; not that having you there is a bad thing, but giving other people a way to self-organize would be cool, too. I smell a side project. Lemme go write that up in Evernote. Definitely, I suggest the rotation.

The music is sometimes too loud, but you can probably ask them to turn it down. Future Bakery in the Annex is another option - they don't seem to mind if you sit there all day. Plus: pierogies and beer! The Urbana Cafe at Bay & St. Joseph is pretty central, has WiFi, lots of tables, and pretty good coffee and treats.

There are a ton of cafes and restaurants within few blocks of the location and I'd be able to join you there. I'm on Twitter as batasrki, so if your rotation passes through the neighbourhood, tweet.

I've just inherited a project that was written by Dark Jedi - errr, ASP.NET 1.0 coders - and I'd like to know how I can bring it into the 21st century.

It is the only way to really be fair to those who might not be able to get more than 20 minutes away from their desk, or those that might not be able to travel to where you are because of disability. I'd say do a 2 month rotation through various parts of toronto, could be great fun. you should rotate through the city and announce where you will be.
