I run five side projects/startups with revenue. First there is this appointment scheduling Saas that I hope will become full time some day.

Then there is a website with a couple of small website tools like formmail, tell a friend, news, blog, and guestbook that can be downloaded. It doesn't do too badly but could do better with some effort from my side. But after 12 years, motivation is pretty low.

I also run a couple of disposable email and short URL websites that generate decent revenue via AdSense. Doesn't require much attention apart from disabling the odd spam or malware URL.

Right now I do mostly programming work, either creating web applications from scratch or adding features to existing ones. It's pretty lucrative but doesn't scale well. My time is pretty much split between programming for clients and doing work for the appointment scheduling Saas.

Wow, five. Yeah it's a strain juggling client work and a startup, I decided a few months ago to die of kwashiorkor if that was what it would take for my startup to show me some (revenue) respect - because juggling that with client work was going to kill me anyway
