No. If telecommuting is an option, at least some of the time, we're only a couple hours away from Philly. Feel free to email me, if you haven't already.

Regrettably, Flash is not a skill that I possess, and my HTML5 skills aren't yet up to a point where I would suggest replacing your Flash content with an HTML equivalent.

I occasionally work with a couple of Flash developers though, so I'll pass them your information.

Amongst other things, my wife does software QA and Technical Documentation. I've been meaning to post something here to see what sort of interest there was for that as a contracted service, and I've been in the process of building her a website to get her started on that.

Jollari's comment is especially interesting to me for this reason.

This advice isn't falling on deaf ears, rest assured.

The criminal irony here is that we'd already done this with the last job transition. Cable TV, gone. Internet is a necessity, but I downgraded from the 15Mbps plan to 5. Pasta, rice, oatmeal, potato, noodles are the new staples, and steak has been replaced with chicken. Netflix, cancelled.

Figuring out what ELSE to cut is the real killer. But there are always to do more with less.

Thank you.

This is, oddly enough, the highest score I've gotten on an HN post to date, and of course it's on a throwaway.

I'm perfectly happy to sift through the negativity as, well, there are always other sides to the coin, but yes, the response to this is literally inspirational.

I'd love to email you for a sidebar discussion, but your email address isn't in your 'About' profile.

Thank you, I'm in the Baltimore/DC area. East Coast.

1) My regular identity isn't even remotely pseudonymous.

2) Not sure what the moonlighting clauses are for my current employer, and while they're aware of the other thing that I'm doing, they're likely more forgiving in that it doesn't come anywhere close to competing with their core product. This is a little different.

3) I don't want my credit-worthiness to come up in my day job, as my employment is somewhat contingent on my ability to make purchases for the company.
