Thanks for the comment, definitely things to consider. Unfortunately I'm not ready to move away yet which sort of rules out both options for now although I would love to travel. Writing my own framework was a learning curve and I've created something bespoke which does exactly what I want, and does it well resulting in a fraction of the overhead again giving me a really good level of performance. The idea about setting deadlines is great and I wish I'd done that thus far. Taking up rails has actually been a goal of mine this year, I'm fairly competent with Python already -- but for immediate work PHP is the most viable option since I feel I have a lot of knowledge to offer. Thanks again for your comment!

Writing things from scratch that work as you want is not as difficult task, be able to understand and apply someone else's work (and in Open Source we must do this every day) is a much more valuable skill. When you don't want to travel for longer time, at least travel to conferences ( (e.g. RubyManor will happen again this year or January in London) or larger User Group meetings. Those are great opportunities to learn about the newest stuff and directly talk with someone about this. That's very much different to just reading it in the internets.
