[Phplib-users] [OT] Freelance Question / Guidance

[nathan r. h. <na...@ds...>]

Ok..

I hate my job.  It makes me miserable.  This has been so for a while but
has gotten to the point that I need to sneak off to the server room to
write an email.  Oh wait.. Sorry almost went a'ranting..

So my question to you, the best folks of the php world, is how many of you
are making a living as freelance php coders?  Is it possible to make a
living doing this or am I setting my self up for eviction?  In the past
I've gotten the odd offer for freelance work associated with phpSlash,
which I've always been too busy to take, but I'm pretty sure that phpSlash
wouldn't pay the bills -- is there other stuff out there, espically in the
post-dot-bomb?  If you are making it, what stratigies have worked for you?
Where have you picked up work?  (things posted online, mailing lists,
word-of-mouth?)

I can run a mean linux system too, but linux geeks are a dime a dozen in a
university town.

Insight, opinions, flames, job offers and anything else welcome.
