and it's also true that, albeit painful, cleanup work can easily account for half of the new business development in any freelancer's career... i for one have been dealing with four-year+ old code for one company for which i currently consult (and have been for over a year) and the former developer did such a poor job that the expectations are rather low and the client is utterly grateful for any and all improvements i suggest and implement... it's not as interesting as new development which uses your own sense of best-practice, but it sure can be lucrative! _______________________________________________ New York PHP Community Jobs Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/jobs NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Show Your Participation in New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
