It's revealing that my not having internet at home would be considered "extreme," when I'm online for at least 8 hours every weekday. :)

But to answer your question, I'm actually coding on an IRC client with decent offline support. I run it on a VPS and sync the state so I can read backlogs at home if I want to. Well, it's not so much a need as a fun hobby project...

I can relate to that. I code for fun and relaxation, although weirdness in the ARM architecture is getting under my skin lately. There was a time when I could do that 100% offline although these days it seems everyone just assumes you can go to their site to get a manual or whatever, so while I used to be able to go somewhere quiet and write code, these days it seems like I keep needing to be online.

Edit: it used to be at my house I was the only one who cared if the "Internet" was there or not, now its like oxygen :-)
