I definitely can't do actual pull-ups now, but will look into how to get there.
I did a linkspam of resources on how to get to a pull-up (and a push-up) here -- might have some useful stuff.
If you don't have access to a pull-up bar, but you do have a sturdy table, you could do inverted rows.
They lean a bit more on the rhomboids rather than lats, but a row-type movement is still great to have in the mix, and (like planks) inverted rows really make you work all the stabilizing muscles to hold your body rigid.
Perhaps I will post on lifting_heavy_things about the contents of my gym. ;)
