+1 for this. In our industry, finding a job when you're unemployed can be quite difficult. Massively so if you're "old". Networking helps with that--definitely recommended.

Also consider gathering "knowledge" resources from your current job. Silly stuff like your dotfiles, but also things like config files from the hosts, parts lists for physical systems, phone directories, etc.
