The recent dry spell aside, I've been doing that for more than 15 
years. This work has been entirely within arts and entertainment 
technology, and it has ranged from hardware/software testing to 
software development to technical support to technical and marketing 
writing. The longest stretch was with one digital audio company that 
was geographically distributed, with individuals and small groups 
working on hardware design, software development, manufacturing, 
marketing and sales, financial management, documentation, and product 
support. People were working in at least seven different locations 
and communicating by e-mail and telephone and sharing data via ftp. 
Part of this arrangement was due to "outsourcing" for such things as 
documentation and art design, but even the core functions continue to 
operate in this fashion.
