iProjects and Dropbox? Load it up at work then go home and edit.
Compile when you get back to work.

Or even lower-tech than that, you could either e-mail yourself the
relevant source, or use USB storage (good ol' SneakerNet).

The bigger issue for me is that I really need the feedback of the
compiler and/or the actual running of the program. If I can't at
least try to run the code that I write, then for me, it's basically
not worth even writing it. I guess I could work on comments off-line.
Most programs are underdocumented, right?

If I think of an idea that I want to implement on the i, and I can't
connect to the i, I'll write myself a note describing the idea, not
actual code.
