The big ones all come through "anonymous" recruiters. It started with Jobserve and Gulp, but now so many recruiters seem to have me on file that I don't have to do anything. That is maybe also a problem: I don't really know how to actively look for interesting projects. Even my personal homepage has been offline for three years now. I think I'll to relaunch it, start a blog about things that interest me, and try to find some more interesting contracts.

Smaller projects also come through recommendations, but not the big fish - most of them also have a policy to not work with individuals.
