How can someone with a little hacking skills make a little money.. i have been doing the php tutorials on the net but how could someone make money just by being a good hacker/coder nowadays, im recently retired and dont really need to work but would love a little cash in exchange for these crt induced retinal scars ... LOL  any ideas, mates?

crt scars?  Oh man.  You need to trash that monitor and get on of these nifty flat-screen wonders.  Your peepers will love you for it.

As far as coding.  Hmm  haven't tried to sell anything that I have cobbled together.  I know some folks who (reportedly) do well at it.  Ideas are fairly easy to come by if you frequent enough forum posts.  Except here, of course.

I suppose you could register with renta coder and some of those outfits.  Be advised that you would be in competition with very hungry folks from impoverished nations.

There is guru.com as well.

@dink: I agree.  There are some pretty time consuming jobs out there on guru.com that
someone in india will do for 50$ that may realistically take 30-40 hours...

So far we have renta coder and guru. com are there any others?

But they are all kinda the same thing that everyone of them wants, a database]
that stores data.  Some forms that manipulate the data based on certain rules..
a login... I guess you could work on some sort of generic loginsite/database
manipulation site you could stamp around a custom style sheet, sassy..
Im wondering this myself.

Damn jamster,  didn't know that they were wantin db and extraction aps.  Been doing those for years.  Maybe I'm in the wrong biz.

Hey sassy, when you get hired look at getting something
like this:

@dink:

extraction aps?  Please give me an example ... like
tar or gzip?

[dink]

hmmm.  I think the rum must have suggested that one to me.  lol

Extraction. ?? maybe like extracting the data from a database.
