a) The statistical aggregation of Geeks vs Financial advisers on the
internet are in favour of Geeks.
b) Geeks, statistically ( in my opinion at least ) are more likely to have
amongst their numbers peoples whom have had experience with distance-working
( due to it being virtually impossible in a large majority other fields )
c) peoples falling into the prior conditions a & b in relation to
specifically New Zealand related issues account for a very minor slice of
the population, so its an advantage to request help in a New Zealand geek
oriented group.
d) I'm a php developer ( some of you may cringe .. although I hope not ),
and for this I exclusively use GNU/Linux ( Gentoo for those who ask, I do my
share of reporting & fixing bugs when I can ) and In my experience at least,
due to the design model of windows machines being ( in my opinion )
fubarized in terms of network usability and security, at least in my
estimation the number of people remotely working in windows-centric systems
are few ( sorry, Im a religious fanatic, don't try say anything good about
microsoft products around me )
e) If the peoples I requested information from were to refer to any
real-world support, it would be preferable that the real-world support be in
a geographically opportune location, ie: Christchurch, so that I may have
less problems with gett ing there.
So to my logic at least, I was looking for : A New Zealand oriented group
of peoples whom were likely to have had at least some members whom have
experienced remote working ala freelance-like scenarios whom were in the
same town as me.
Considering I've had CLUG on my ML now for a year , it appeared to be the
logical path for me to take. :)
