    BTW, liked the photograph - where is it?
    Thanks. I may drift into other areas, but the aim is to keep it focused on life as a freelance in the UK

    The piccie is rather nice, but no idea of its history: it's one of the standard Wordpress themes. Shame, if I move to my own host (so I can add some commercial bits...) I may have to lose it.

    ditch the current content its like being caught on facebook with 'I hate [my employer]' scribbled on your bulgarian airbags.

    Make it sensible and positive observations about technical issues you have had at clients, its not a vanity show its a sales tool. Your blog looks like a Ratner moment.

    Find some work with ex colleagues even unpaid to fill the gap or restart your career.
    You're assuming that this is my only Blog, of course...

    Malvolio is a construct. I thought everyone knew that. He mainly exists to say things I can't say as a professional. That and wind up the anti-PCG brigade of course.

    Not sure if this is a really good idea, to be honest, but since some people think my comments on certain Internet Forums are worth listening to, I thought I might try and widen the audience.
    They do? Which people? Which forums?

    There's no point in a project manager knowing how to fix the lowest level code the day after go live. The point of a project manager is to know he's going to need somebody to fix the lowest level code the day after go live.
    Surely the point is to know it needs fixing before it goes live?
