I worked on a web crawler project. They wanted to compare sports news websites and do some data analysis. The project didn't go deeper, but it was really cool. There were many things you could do with the data, lots of possibilities.
I don't really remember, but I worked three to four months only. If the project developed more, it would be a big room for text and data analysis, IA, etc. I enjoyed.
The process was quite simple. The guy posted something on a Python mailing list and didn't describe a lot. I was interested and he replied with just "here is my Skype username, contact me". We talked and then one week after I started. I was very afraid because I didn't know how much I should charge; when I should start or stop; whether they would pay me or not, how they would pay me, etc.
Everything went well and I survived :)

What was your first remote job and what was the process of getting it? Currently trying to get my first job in development and could use the advice!
