I've been meaning to write a long e-mail to that effect for a while now, hopefully I'll find the time soon...

I’ve been meaning to write a long e-mail to that effect for a while now, hopefully I’ll find the time soon…

I've been involved in a handful of remotely managed projects and it is never as efficient or as successful as a good close interactive team. It is certainly possible for technologists, especially software developers and graphics people to work somewhat remotely. However I think project management is as much about people as technology, and you need to be able to see the 'shop floor' so to speak to get it done well. Hi Emma,

All I have to do is work out a low carbon commute from Jersey. You’ve nearly convinced my to abandon the field for a couple of months and apply for the job.
