    “I've got the code. You've got the server. Let's make lots of money.”

Hanging out with Mark and Kelly [1] we started discussing ways to make money
on the web, or more specifically, with www.conman.org. [2]

Mark and I are both programmers but with the upswell of the Open Source
movement, it's getting hard to actually sell software. The only way to really
make money in Open Source is service. Both Mark and I write software, and
even make it available. [3] But since we give the software away, how to we
make money from it? Well, hire us to install, or adapt the code for your
particular project. Sure, if you have the time or the expertise you don't
have to hire us, but with a shortage of time or expertise, we're available.

Or by making this available I can become a well known webcelebrity and get
asked for talks and seminars (yea, right).

But making money off a website isn't straightforward, nor easy. And I'm not
expecting to make money (at least, directly) off this site. Indirectly, yes.
But not directly.
