Many years ago I had a similar gig. I swore I would never do it again.
Working at home is great -- in small doses. I work at home one day a
week but full-time work-at-home can get pretty lonely ESPECIALLY if you
are single and live alone as I do. The dogs are great but don't have a
lot to say.
So, I planned lots of evening activities but then I was always gone in
the evening and no one could find me at home :-)

Subject: Untraveling Tech Writer
All this talk of the traveling tech writer sounds really interesting.
I, on the other hand, have become a NON-traveling tech writer. Starting
today, I am working from home 100% of the time. They issued me a laptop
and
I connect in with VPN. Considering my project is developed in St. Louis
and
managed in Florida, the fact that I'm in Oregon makes the telecommuting
a
really practical thing. While I was sitting in the Portland Office, I
had to
call or email everyone I worked with and I can certainly do that quite
easily from home.
Other than curious cats, it's all going quite well. But I would be
interested to hear the experiences of others who are doing the same
thing.
