That's easy: just drop your badge on the other guy's badge. ;-) Or put it in a project that you publish on a server the other guy can connect to.

Note: the current implementation is peer-to-peer only and will be defeated by some firewalls, virtual ip addresses and other restrictive net practices. A future implementation will be to allow connection through a server (http or some other innocuous protocol) so that you can participate even in the face of such obstacles.
I also think that as you get to explore the features now entering the update stream, you may well start thinking about how to get higher bandwidth and a static address.
Cheers,
Bob
