    No, this isn't an offer of work, sorry.

    Instead here are some tips for the next time a client doesn't pay up, if you don't mind burning your bridges (and then burying the ashes beneath 20ft of concrete).

              Received that particular one via Twitter - so it is useful for something after all

              It's a great site, and another one like B3ta that I keep meaning to visit more frequently.

                Reminiscent of a programme manager I worked under a couple of years ago. He had a great idea for a web site that would do something illogical and he just needed someone to code the illogical bits for free, someone to provide the comms for free, someone to put up the web site for free, someone to do the artwork and copywriting for free and he felt he could manage the marketing for himself.

                I declined the offer to assist.

                "WTF is wrong with you IT people? You've no f***ing imagination. And why this anal bollocks about only being able to do one part of it. You're either an IT person or you're not. WTF can't one person do all of it?"

                They sacked him a few weeks later.


                Some years ago, a mate of mine suggested a web site for holding portfolios of work for artists. An online gallery. The idea was the customer would buy a a high resolution .JPG that would be emailed to them for them to print on their colour inkjet and they could frame it for themselves. All I had to do was provide the web site, the e-commerce bits, the copy, the hardware to host it, the SEO work and some business nouse. For that I would get a small %age of the profits and he would get the rest. His investment? "Well, it was my idea."

                I declined that too.

                  He was a programme manager????

                  The second idea sounds promising - didn't you do it anyway without telling him?
