I work much better off-site as well, and in fact I currently do. Remote

through their heads that working remotely can be productive. These

Wish I could help you, but maybe this is a time to suggest you take a
look at Eclipse. I switched to Eclipse about 6 mos ago and haven't

Wow man, what a story!!
I've actually been in a couple of similar situations myself. You had
amazing patience sticking it out for as long as you did. I would have
bailed probably after the first week, if not sooner.

Hey does anybody know if there is a jobs list for php developers like

I've been watching the Consultant's Revenge thread for a few days, but
haven't commented because most everything that I would say has been
said. I like the idea, but I'm also worried about liability. I also
