Not sure if this comment is visible or not because I'm under a partial ban here, but I'll amend the post, thanks for the feedback.
I see it, and I don't have showdead on or any special features.
REALLY interesting idea - tell me you'll be blogging this? It might be of use for people considering taking you up on this offer (and I'm one of them) to know roughly what your skills are - I know you say you're versatile, but no-one can do everything. Or is the point that you want to do things outside your current comfort zone?
>no-one can do everything Anyone can be taught to do (pretty much) anything if they're willing.
If someone else is paying for food and travel, why limit yourself to a certain geographic area? If someone wants to pay for you to fly to and from Australia, I say let them do it - it would only add to the adventure.
One nitpick, journeyman doesn't mean "on a journey", it's journee man, from the French as in, a person paid a day rate for their trade. The next step up, a master, would be paid for completed items, and could employ others.

Ok, thanks for confirming. So the ban really is limited to posting articles. Interesting. That's a first probably, to be able to comment but not to be able to post.

I'm sorry to be the buzz-kill, but that's simply not true.
Here was a nice article on spendin a Christmas working in beautiful locations rather than stuck home.

Barring disasters, in early 2014 I will be leaving the precariat and can stop being the money-grubbing mercenary I've been for the last few years. I don't exactly have fuck you money, but I should be able to get by on less than £~10kGBP / $~15kUSD a year. I'm currently based in London, UK.
Some things I like the idea of working on are Free Software, encrypted / federated communications, Linux audio, C and embedded software. I've dabbled in all of the above but am not particularly accomplished at any of them. My core skills are python / web development, but I've done plenty of other stuff and am willing and able to learn. Hopefully a look at https://github.com/Joeboy will indicate that I am basically able to do computers.
If anybody has a job (or part of a job) for me, please get in touch via my website, which is on my HN user page.
Isn't this the guy who squats on domain names? http://www.jacquesmattheij.com/auction-of-domains-for-sale/
Please read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cybersquatting
And note that every domain I have was bought and paid for from whoever owned it previously or registered from the free pool of domains. Also note that a significant portion of those was developed at some point or other but I chose to shut them down.
