Finding Programming Work on the Side?
vistaconfig wonders: "I work as a developer for a certain fairly small company. I'm very happy with my work/pay and I wouldn't consider changing my job. However, I find myself bored at night since I never take any work home (as per the boss's orders). Since I'm not capable of working without some kind of motivation, I'm trying to find some kind of a side job that pays whatever money, and has deadlines (that's the only way I can work, unfortunately). There doesn't seem to be a website for side jobs. I'm willing to take something on, but I don't know where to go. How do other Slashdot readers deal with finding the side job in the first place? "
I'll happily load you up with projects if you like. The pay is nonexistant, and the work won't be interesting, but you'll be helping me earn a nice salary and have more free time.
Interested?

I think that's a very narrow view of your options. Don't limit yourself! You could find a charity or political group with whom you DISagree, and subtly sabotage them... THERE'S your motivation!

"Have you ever noticed that programming jobs often ask for "well-rounded" applicants? This isn't (only) because they want you to be interesting when they talk to you in the hall. Most companies understand that this rounding contributes to more capable job skills."
What? You mean I put on all this weight for nothing?
Actually, since the two accounts were created consecutively, I'd have to guess that this is only one person, so it'd be a sort of "fight club" scenario.
You sometimes go to movies without your girlfriend?
You should treat her better!
It was a joke! When you give me that look it was a joke.
What?!?!? One guy? I haven't seen "Fight Club" you insensitive clod!!!
