the main thing in any dilema is "float dates".

when you have hard dates like March 3rd 3:00 pm , its easy to say " you said etc etc " and it simply wasnt done and i had not heard from you therefor your a flake"

when you have float dates its alot more fuzzy . maybe he didnt realise it was needed now etc etc. alot of wiggle room. wiggle room most programmers use to their advantage heh.

i feel for both of you because you expected progress , he didnt have any nor a response.

I try to keep people i work with well informed if its a float date that its exactly that a float date not a hard date. you have to look at it from both perspective. I have done work for people on the quick then had them flake then your left with 6 hours of work you dont get paid for..

my best advice is . get a recomendation #1
#2 set hard dates if you need them
#3 if you expect hard dates you will likely have to put a deposit
#4 even if you cant get a hard date GIVE a deposit , this locks them in and usually helps speed the process up.
