It always comes down to networking, I hated it when that meant hardware, now that it refers to social stuff I loathe it even more. If you are going to get work for yourself (as apposed to contract or employment) you are going to have to get out there and hustle.
Friends, relatives, acquaintances and especially business colleagues and contacts are all potential sources. You need to work them, make sure they all know what you do and that you are interested in custom work.

Typically it's word-of-mouth via friends and former coworkers. I don't have an especial need for the money, so I let the work come to me.

Sounds like it's time to dust off the old resume just in case or to preemptively switch jobs before the lawsuit happens.

Reminds me of the time I worked contract for a guy who said I had to be there from 9 to 5, and I had to take lunch, but could not leave the building... I pointed out some other stuff he was doing wrong, in an honest effort to help him improve his business. When he told me I didn't know what I was doing he no longer had a 'contractor' (or any other help!).
Best wishes for your future endeavors!

 The problem is I was going to write "You know you're approaching the end when..." but changed the subject line without correcting the syntax error.

This is as good an excuse as I've ever heard.

I guess this was the only way for iPhone users to have fun with their phone, it had to be banned one way or another.

If someday they make a phone that can dual-boot both Android/iOS and Windows Phone/Win10, I think it will become more popular. If users can switch to Windows at work for better built in support for office tasks and then switch back to the more user friendly phone OS's at the end of the day, I think that sales would improve.

I have a tablet that dual boots Android / Win10, and I have to say that I use it almost exclusively in Win10 despite expecting it to be the other way round when I bought it. But Android / iOS? Can't see the Fanboise ever using Android, and I can't see Android users doing much but swearing (and laughing) at IOS if they try to use that.

I was alluding more toward that work/life balance (or split) thing with a Win10\Android phone or a Win10\iOs phone. Windows 10 for work and Android/iOS for personal. Companies and people might be more inclined to use Windows 10 on their phone for work if it was 100% separate from their personal data and apps.

I just tossed my Lumia 735. It didn't go very high, but it nearly reached escape velocity before smashing against the wall. The I came over to the dark side and got an iPhone.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Just updated a Windows 7 Professional computer to Windows 10 Creators Edition and notice it has a C:\Inetpub directory. This is an Ex-Lease computer I bought late last week and didn't look at the directory structure or Windows Features enabled prior. This is a Dell OptiPlex 790 and has the default install from the Recovery CD as advised by the shop.
I have looked to see if IIS is enabled and it isn't. Googling led me to a thread where one person had a sub-option of IIS enabled and another said it was something to do with .NET 4.6.
.NET 4.7 is enabled with the ASP.NET option enabled and this is the only thing I can think of that would need C:\Inetpub.
I have just noticed that the only files in the directory are .tmp files in C:\Inetpub\temp\appPools.
Nnyone have any idea on this and if I can kill it or if it is now just required in Creators Edition?
