I found that uninstalling television also saved a lot of time or at least "stopped" me watching random crap. Anecdotally we had a 2-3 week period where the whole family had no TV/Internet access. I was quite disappointed when

Oh my CV is 3 pages in length, but you know what I can do and most of where I have worked on the first page. The last 2 pages are detailed breakdowns of where and what I have done.

I would suggest looking in the mirror ;) Let's be honest. Freelancers are not there to find "interesting clients". They are a temporary resource that enables a client to get a job done they under-resourced. You have a choice

My gut feel is that any developer he could employ probably is looking 2+ years down the line and where else they could be employed. You also have to consider the social side of development. Going to meet-ups etc. If you love technology you

Transport is one of my "pet" hobbies. This sort of hard data, on it's own is interesting. Combined with census data, local authority housing development data, and car use, then it becomes powerful. Even bring in the price of
