    I am looking for some remote work.

    I'm a freelancer, which means I work from home, often for multiple clients at once. I had tried to keep two projects going, but a big crunch time meant I ended up on just one, and now that's going to reduce to only @20 hours a week.
    I've only ever found people wanting freelance developers by accident. Now I'd like to do it on purpose, but I've never had success with contracting/recruitment firms for this.
    So perhaps I can draw on the networking power in CUK... anyone know companies I might want to contact, or sites I might want to look at.

    For reference, I'm a coder, designer and architect. I'm a traditionalist at heart - real applications you actually install - but I've worked with those newfangled internets too. You know the deal - C++, Java, C#, JSP, blah blah blah.

    Is such blatant self promotion allowed here?

        Agents generally are not interested in short term or part time work, because they don't make enough money out of it. What you should do is, whenever an agency contacts you, or you see a contract that's of interest, tell the agency that you're looking for part-time and remote working contracts. These do arise from time to time, and if your name is linked to "part-time, remote working", then you may get some success. But really the best way is to market yourself through your network of contacts.

        Another difficulty is getting clients to understand that the day rate for 5 days of work is higher than the day rate for 200 days of work.

        Often clients will have a dictat from on high fixing the maximum daily rate. What you do then is take that rate, but work fewer hours. You can be quite up front about his. So, if the rate offered is £500, and you want £1000, you just work 4 hours a day - leaving time to get another contract at £500 a day.

        I can tell you all this, because you're in a different market sector to me.

          Yeah, that's basically what I figured. I'm not registered with any agencies for those reasons, the problem is I don't have a lot of contacts just yet.
