Well, I finally got hold of Paul and it looks like he might give me it after all

Evangeline Posted May 2, 2004
Gee that looks it could be one of Rat's journals... 
Congratulations.

He hasn't confirmed it yet - that should be tonight - but he's basically admitted neglecting it and that he's doing other stuff instead...as the closest thing GPT has to a trade union, you can't imagine how proud I would/will be
I have some backing from what were some of the most active members too, so I should be okay now

Not at all, but there's plenty of potential there. The iSAAF doesn't pay, but there are modifications that need to be done to bring it up to date. Part of that will include various things that do pay. As I'd be able to host it on my own server, it'd be cost free and with a name like that behind me, it gives me the opportunity to work on lots of other things that DO pay that I wouldn't be able to do otherwise.
I've got sort of an ad exchange, an insurance program of sorts on the way and lots of other stuff

I hope it works enough to pay the bills without wasting all your time and energy.

It's just pocket money really....right now I earn enough to pay my electricity and phone bills plus a bit left over. It will pay, it just takes time, but I suppose everything does

Evangeline Posted May 2, 2004
That's good that you have enough for electricity and the phone. 
What about food?

I meant money that I make online - I make some IRL too

Nothing is better than being independently wealthy.
*cough, splutter*
paulh, vaccinated against the Omigod Variant Posted May 4, 2004
Nor would I.
I'm just trusting in the wisdom of the fortune cookie that I got with today's lunch. The fortune read:
"Money doesn't buy happiness, but it doesn't exactly repel it either"
Anyway, aiming for financial independence takes my mind off my otherwise drab, wretched life.

Evangeline Posted May 4, 2004
I would kind of like the chance to prove money won't make me happy...
*cough, splutter*
paulh, vaccinated against the Omigod Variant Posted May 5, 2004
But what will you do if the experiment goes awry, and you end up happily rich? 
Cry all the way to the bank?
