Thanks. I have a full-time job and am only looking to freelance here and there, and I've had a harder time getting rates anywhere near my full-time salary "rate". I've used it as a way to get into different types of technology and create a portfolio, instead of a real income. However, I won't spend my free time dealing with a difficult client for relatively low pay - I'd rather work on a personal project for free...

OK, thanks - makes me feel a little better. I was originially thinking "Where do people get 100 hours in a weekend? Wives/children/pets must be on vacation...". But I realize it's probably more like weekends, plural. I've got a side project going to learn Django and Python - you're work inspired me to throw Bootstrap in there too.

Anyway, nice job!

Agreed - that would be interesting to see cost of living weighed in. Speaking from experience, Suffolk/Nassau counties in NY may have higher salaries - but the cost of living is rough (e.g. property taxes).
