I wasn’t kidding before when I said that 80% of my good friends have picked up and moved out of the Bay Area recently, its totally true! I’ve realized now though that I might have a better chance of actually seeing some of the more active ones a little more regularly, but I need a friend tracking tool to make it happen.
Basically, I’ve got this core group of friends who’ve all moved far away, but we all travel very often. Sean just left for NYC where he’ll actually spend 80% of his time on the road to different sub-division offices. Erick now works with me at IronPort and while he’s based in LA we seem to have him on the road >60% of the time visiting customers. Sandy still works for Sendmail which means he’s constantly sent out on multi-week engagements at various customer sites. Wes is the only student among us now starting his second year of B-School at UNC, and while he doesn’t have work engagements pulling him every which way, no-one wants to be stuck in North Carolina for all that long.
So what I need is some way for all of us to keeps tabs on when we might be crossing paths in the same location. Yes, I know we could just talk to each other, but that’s just not the geekiest solution we could have for this problem! Any ideas?
