Since I try to work in a niche field, I find myself telling different clients the same things and producing similar documentation; no client has yet complained of the time saved.
What gets annoying is when ClientCo have all the CD drives and USB ports disabled to prevent you stealing stuff; that makes it hard to let them benefit from what I possess (yet without making it much harder to take what I want off site!)My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

As I said, I don't recycle code from one client to another. Always write from scratch. It's not morals that make me do that, it's just that the variety of work I do is such that it makes better sense.
However there are techniques which I want to keep hold of. It's simpler to just copy everything than to selectively pick and choose.
There is also the possibility that the old client might contact me with a query. If I have the source code with me I can quickly refer back to it and give them an answer.Coffee's for closersComment

I recycle code as and when I need to - there is no point in reinventing the wheel. There are code samples on my blog that I add information to occasionally, so what's the difference?Comment

Any suggestions on temp on line storage (A month or so), for free?

2GB for free, or 50GB if you want to pay $10 (so £6ish) a month.Comment
