I mean, I could actually create and open-source a generic bot if I didn't have to take care for the "family maintenance" part, hence having to bind myself to local jobs. (That's what I meant).

I would pretty much love to make a living coding programming languages and the web (i.e. a forum engine with all the bells & whistles).

I know there is a market for bots, and I'd like to actually give away the base bot and charge for the "modules", but I guess it's uphill when the day only has so many hours and I'm busy from morning to night as I am right now.

...I guess what I can do is to start open-sourcing the bits & pieces as I code them.

Ok Vic, I really understand it.
I hope in next future you can release some open source code

Thanks

Hey Vic,
I think i know best what you mean with the "maintanance" part :-)

My ExcelBot has also taken all my time to code and improve and then recode and re-improve again.
But as i said before, i love what i'm doing now, thx for learning teaching me the starting basics in programming.
