Moonlighting
The thing Iike about my little business-on-the-side is that it takes me to odd nooks and crannies of the software industry. At the moment, I'm writing web copy for a model railway design package. It's one I've worked on before, but relaunched with a new name. Strange, strange world...

Coincidentally, I was reminded of your freelance business this morning when we were struggling with sketchy, imprecise, inaccurate documentation on the admin interface for some software we're using for our website. The web developer had set it all up fine, just seemed not to have thought much about explaining to other people how to use it.

... and then there are some who don't document to ensure their employers still remember them years after they make the loyal member of staff redundant for reasons of cost cutting. Not that I've got anyone or any company in mind you understand! :o)
