Hi,

I'm writing an article 'Java work from home - Where and how to get
remote (telecommuting) job'.

The article is not in final condition, but may be it would be
interesting to those, who like to live in one place and work in any
place.

Link to the draft of the article:

Hi,
I went through your draft, I think it has some potential to be
interesting one when you finish it. I did not know odesk, now I do :-)
I think you should mention eLance problems with masses of low-cost
freelancers applying for every job posted there -
http://storyfix.com/why-elance-sucks-lately may be a good starting
point for your investigation (one note, I am describing the problem as
an outsider to eLance so I may be off the track). Possibly other sites
you mentioned are dealing with the same issues. In other words I wish
you could be little more speculative :-). I am looking forward to
seeing the last two sections completed. Keep up.

I agree with Marcin - it has good potential. It's not quite there yet,
but you know that - that's why it's a draft. I'll also be interested in
seeing a more polished form of the article.

I worked with them for 4 years and now quit.

~ Orville Wright (born: 1871-08-19 died: 1948-10-30 at age: 77) 1908 We see that same conservative pessimism in those crafting today�s computers and computer tools. They are overwhelmed by the details of producing even today�s solutions. You need young, over-confident people who don�t know too much to chart the course ahead. This is especially true of global warming where the current generation has entirely given up hope of a green planet and sustainable human survival.
