Guys , I finally went to fashion valley mall, San Diego and looked at the "holy grail" of pocket devices. The IPhone. In one word it was awesome. Worked like nothing i have seen in years. I have used almost all the pocket devices so far, in last few years i had pocket pc , smart phone, pocket pc phone, black berry and right now a black jack (smartphone 5.0). frankly speaking i will buy it as soon as i get that extra cash of $500, since i have a cingular "yuck" account so i won't need any other service just the $20 service for internet. I saw people are trying to sell it on ebay for $800 something? guys are actually buying from there? You can anyday order directly from iphone.com. these ebayians are totally crazy people i know. Any crazy takers of iphone here at codeproject. Anybody got it yet ? Any exciting experiences. ? Don't tell you don't want to have an iphone. ;P

I've spoken to people who have written books. I've not pursued it, based on their advice.

This is the advice ,you will also give to others when you are into book publishing. Thats the secret code. You know why people in the top always say its lonely out here, not because they are , but because they don't want you to be there

Johnny, i never said it will be simple,

The word is sarcastic. Again, if only life were so simple that there were HIGH END PROJECTS just waiting around. Can we also EARN MONEY WORKING 1 HOUR A WEEK FROM HOME?

My both suggestion was based directly on two FACTS 1. Rex is a good writer 2. He has a business of his own. not everyone has these two things at the first place, so my suggestion won't apply to them And No that comment was not sarcastic, If i were at Rex's end with such circumstances, I think doing something with a good hope is an optimistic approach. Having a plan to fight a tough situation is also optimistic approach. It will never be easy, but it is possible thats all i am saying. if you have extra ordinary circumstances, you have to do some extra ordinary things with some extra ordinary efforts, to come out of it. IMO Nothing is impossible ! , if you have a plan , strategy and determination for it.

Why didn't *I* think of that ?

may be because you are a pessimistic ? may be because you think, donation camp is a better idea ?

It's very rare for a book to be profitable

you mean you can't earn $ 20,000 for 3 months of work by writing a book ? Have you written a book ? Why don't you share your statistics then, your comment is rather vague !

Christian Graus wrote:

This one is just hilarious. Why didn't *I* think of that ?

These are just suggestions for Rex. You can give a better suggestion if you Have ONE about the situation.

I think EVERYONE YOU KNOW in CODE PROJECT wants to help you, you need to come up with a definite plan , Although i don't know the impression about deepwaters but, there is one thing i agree, come up with a definite plan, EVERY BODY WILL SUPPORT IT , like you already said a million dollar page , ITS A WIN WIN IDEA,

Totally agree, i gave him these two suggestions , what do you think 1. Think about writing a book on latest technology, that can get advance of as much as $ 20,000 for 2-3 months. work , 4 nice book published in an year can get you around $ 80,000, Do you see the potential here ! 2. Look for a high end ONE BIG SOFTWARE PROJECT ! big software projects can pay you the biggest amount in the time. ASK at code project , if they can GET YOU a HIGH END PROJECT WHICH YOU CAN DELIEVER, IN 3 MONTHS or 6 months, i am sure there are EVEN big shots from microsoft who are the secret CPIANS, EVEN they can get you a SUB CONTRACT PROJECT WORTH GOOD MONEY.

We Won't Let You Give Up

That's pretty haunting ! but not impossible to achieve in 1 year time. This is my suggestion, As Quartz already suggested and i respect him for that, if i were you, i will make a plan ! Add your expense of one year + the debts = X amounts, divide by 6 and think of achieving that IN ONE YEAR Don't work hard, donations cannot take you that far nope , THINK What can pay you that much ? you write very well so my first suggestion is 1. Think about writing a book on latest technology, that can get advance of as much as $ 20,000 for 2-3 months. work , 4 nice book published in an year can get you around $ 80,000, Do you see the potential here ! 2. Look for a high end ONE BIG SOFTWARE PROJECT ! big software projects can pay you the biggest amount in the time. ASK at code project , if they can GET YOU a HIGH END PROJECT WHICH YOU CAN DELIEVER, IN 3 MONTHS or 6 months, i am sure there are EVEN big shots from microsoft who are the secret CPIANS, EVEN they can get you a SUB CONTRACT PROJECT WORTH GOOD MONEY. what do you think
