Here’s the deal: I’m currently working a shitty 8 hour job at minimum wage, and all the money that I earn is helping to pay the family mortgage, food, bills and everything that can be associated with living.
It’s not that I don’t mind paying that and helping out my family. It’s just that I dream of bigger things and bigger ideas. I mean, at the age of just 17 I built own free web hosting company. I would have continued the service today had I been able devote all my time, money and energy into that, but then life just happens. It rips away at the very foundations that you try to instil in yourself. On the flip side I suppose it also makes you want to work harder, and become what you’ve always wanted to be: an entrepreneur. A person who builds things I suppose.
I guess I’ll have to wait till I’m a little older to have that financial freedom. I guess what has made me write this is the fact that a person who is as involved in the same web hosting industry as I recently ranted on about how he built his success on a web forum I frequent.
It also seemed as if his family supported if not pushed him into a certain area, which allowed him to become successful. I sometimes wish that was me, but then who doesn’t? It’s just that I thought I had that potential, and I almost did the exact same thing as that successful guy – minus being able to have the full financial power to take anything further.
Either way, time is passing and it’s as if the longer I wait, the more the opportunity is slipping away. I suppose that opportunities will always arise and I do wonder where I’ll be in a couple years’ time.

I’ve just come over some pretty good free script sites. These are actually decent scripts, these are scripts that are made in the functionality that they’re going to be free. It’s as if, the developer of these scripts have actually made decent scripts, which are worth paying for; as the functionality of these scripts are just great as well as the user/admin interface.
The sites I’m promoting on here are these:
Boonex
CeleronDude
These are decent script sites, which offer decent scripts that do not need mass editing, unless you want to change the appearance of these scripts. But I just came accross these, and I fought what nice people to offer these wonderfully coded scripts for absolutely no price. – It really inspires me to start training at php/mysql coding, seeing as you can make all these wonderful things in your free time; for free. 😉 I’ll be using one of these scripts for my website: keeperscafe.com, and what you see on keeperscafe now is nothing, it’s just a CMS script I was testing out, but I’ll be uploading something nice on keeperscafe.com. 🙂
The scripts are as follows: (celerondude.com)
-
Uploader v6
This script allows you to run a “file hosting” service on your web server. For a demonstration of the script and of the latest version, visit CDUpload.com.
-
Shoutbox
This is just another simple shoutbox. I needed one for my site so I wrote one. It’s meant to run inside your layout but can also be run by itself. A demo of the script in action is right here on my site. For screenshots of the admin section, scroll down.
-
Simple Gallery
A simple gallery script. Drop images into the albums directory and you’re done. Create albums is as easy as creating a new directory, literally. I’ve put up a demo gallery here.
More scripts which are from: (boonex.com)
