My apologies about possibly deflecting this thread... If you're a remote only (nomadic developer, can develop anywhere I have a 'net connection), are the methods to find work the same?

It also depends on the timezone you are in. For me when being in South East Asia I found it hard to get clients from USA because of ~12h time difference. I go mostly contracts as referrals from other freelancer friends. Stay in touch with them and let them know that you are currently looking for a project.

Contacting agencies my be a good bet - but so far I found still a lot of them don't want to work with remote/nomadic developers.

As for me, when I don't have contract I keep working on my own apps and put them on shelf when a new client deal is finalized. Most of the time finalizing a deal takes time.

I don't see why not. Many agencies will be happy not to have to provide a desk, hardware, etc. If you are a painless option, that will appeal to many.
