Where do I find a full-time telecommute/remote programming job?
Things I have done already:
* Search feed from indeed.com ( developer AND (telecommute OR remote) )
* Regularly hit up the tech job sites I know of that aren't indexed by indeed (37signals, authenticjobs).
* Google turns up mostly strange sketchy-looking sites I've never heard of.
* Started reaching out to my network
Obviously taking freelance gigs (rentacoder, odesk, etc) would be easier to arrange, but I need a job with health insurance and steady income to support a family.
Are there reputable telecommute-specific job boards? Better search queries I should be trying? Non-US job sites? Other aggregators I haven't heard of?
Other data points:
* Will be working from China (GMT+8), but not in a major western business hub
* Mid-level developer at Fortune 100 company (you're probably a customer)
* Java/Ruby/Python/PHP experience
* Demonstrated 0-60 on new languages/frameworks in <30 days
* BA/UX experience: requirements/wireframes

Canonical seems to be going on a hiring streak based on that page's RSS feed. I don't work for them but I know people that do -- nearly all their developers telecommute. I think you can find a place to fit in, especially if you're located in China where a lot of manufacturing happens.
