Working outside is great and the author has put considerable amount of effort into making it work for him. Hopefully with computing becoming more ubiquitous, hardware will become more tolerant to the outdoors. For me, our screened in porch works best but still there are only a couple of months per year where doing computer based work outside is viable. The big annoyance here is in the spring when the temperature and humidity are nearly perfect but the pollen count is off the charts. I don't have allergies but also don't want my electronics covered inside and out with a yellowish green blanket of ultra fine particles. Sealed devices that are easily cleaned off would help here but the need for ventilation means most devices can't be sealed.

Our four to six weeks of autumn though... that's spectacular, though I'd much rather hike that time of year than tap away on a keyboard.
