The bad and the good

Hi Everyone, This is already my second week in my new job as a programmer in NDS (www.nds.com). I am working on a project there around to the end of september in which my they will consider if I will continue in NDS or not. I am moving to my own apartment (I am currently renting) next year hopefully and I need to save up some cash. Instead of posting 'give me money' links, I decided to get an extra job, so I now work two jobs: NDS and the escort of 'special' children which should bring me a decent salary for a while. So whats going to happen with Screens? Well, yes, it will be postponed a bit, I dont have much choice in the matter since I am working nearly all day (my escort job starts at 6:30 AM!) but I am trying realy hard to keep Screens afloat. But I have talked with some NDS people about Screens and they are going to try to help me pull Screens from a small one man project to a sponsored project. So there might be help after all. I know many of you feel decieved, but I prefer to face you with the facts then just disappear. Life being married is wonderful but its great responsability and had to be my highest priority hence the need to earn more money to get an appartment than working on Screens which brings me zero income (I know that its an investment). If you have noticed, I have hardly even been online on my computer since mostly I have been working on my laptop (that I got from NDS). When you have seen me online, it was probably my wife who is finishing university on the 17th of july. The bottom line is that I am trying realy hard to juggle all my jobs together, so just understand that reality does bite a bit and our plans most of the time dont work out as planned. I could say, well... I have been promising Screens for 3 years and its been totally vaporware untill now, so therefore I should stop... but then I feel it would be a waste of your time. If I do ever release Screens, it will make all your efforts suddenly worth while.
