If you need real-time web/network/mobile work done, I have a ton of experience and love doing it. (SF/Bay area, telecommute okay)
- I wrote Orbited (www.orbited.org) - Designed WebSocket handshake (officially recognized by w3c/html5) - Comet session protocol (http://orbited.org/csp) - Hookbox (www.hookbox.org)
I've worked on pretty much every type of related app you can imagine (games, stock tickers, chat, collaboration)

We are looking for a passionate, entrepreneurial project manager/business analyst who loves Agile/SCRUM methodologies.
Loginaut is a young, 100% privately-funded startup that is changing the face of custom software by implementing the best project management, software development and quality assurance techniques. Our goal is to become the best at turning client's ideas into reality and create highest-quality software products in fastest, most efficient and inexpensive ways.
After less than a year of operating, we're growing fast and need some like-minded people to join our team. This is a contract-based, not a full time position, but may turn into one.
Who are we looking for: Intelligent, entrepreneurial project managers/business analysts with experience in running agile projects. You will be asked to manage projects, and get paid per project. You can take on as many projects as you can handle (not right away though). This is a perfect situation for freelancers, or for those employed full time and looking for supplementary income.
My email is in profile, send your resume

I'm a Rails coder with 2+ years of experience. My sister is giving birth soon (yay!) and my mom wants to take off a month of work to help her out, so I have to pay the mortgage & bills for my family for a while.
I prefer back end work, since I'm not much of a designer (but I have a design guy as well). I'd take on a gig only if the client and I mesh, and the work could be contracted out in small chunks, since I already have a full-time gig.
haml/sass/jQuery/RSpec preferred.
Discount for a Rails 3 project!

I'm an iOS developer in Atlanta, GA (although I'm telecommute friendly) who'd be very happy to pick up some contract work.
Since I never miss an opportunity for a plug and it basically serves as the most meaningful credential in this business, my company has one serious product in the store: http://ballisticpigeon.com/folio (it's on sale this weekend for $0.99 instead of $4.99). I've been doing iOS development since the day the SDK was released (personal projects while I finished up graduate school then proof-of-concept contract work for a startup).
Now I'm hoping to finance my little entrepreneurial endeavor with some interestingly hourly projects.
