Good suggestion. I even live in a lost city as far as technology is concerned and have found at least a couple of others who also work from home doing software development. We try to get together and work from a coffee shop every now and then. Look around for local Linux user groups or programming language interest groups - you'll probably find some other kindred spirits.
