Ask YC: Advice for finding part-time work for a start-up?

I recently quit my job and I'm planning on taking some classes over the summer. It would be really nice if during this period I had a non-negative (or at least less negative) cash flow.

Does anyone have advice on how to find potential part time work for a start-up this summer?

Here's a taste of my background:

I attended Wesleyan University, from 2004-2008. In '08 I applied for YCombinator, got an interview, but didn't get accepted. I continued with the project and eventually handed it over to another undergraduate at Wesleyan, but the site hasn't really changed since I handed over ownership. You can check it out here: http://collegeacb.com

After graduating from Wesleyan I have been working for a large heath care software company in Wisconsin. The job was not intellectually stimulating, and the technology we use is outdated, so I'm quitting.

Here are a few things I know that I can do well: * PHP/MySQL * Write valid XHTML/CSS markup. * Decent sense of design (check out my portfolio here - http://orionstudiomadison.com). * C/C++ (wrote my thesis in C++).

Some things where I'm more fuzzy, but will be expanding my knowledge over the summer: * JavaScript/JavaScript libraries (mootools) * Qt C++ UI framework * PHP MCV framework (CakePHP, Zend or CodeIgniter) * Maybe Ruby * Joomla

I'm living in Madison, WI so unfortunately any places outside of the area I would have to telecommute. Are there any places out there that would consider employing me part time or do you think I should just work on some of my own ideas while I'm taking classes?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
