This is so much what I want to do, but I don't yet have the... gumption... to actually do it.

I also code alone, and probably my income from investments from my lifestyle software product business (about $US 460 pcm) is enough to support it. According to Wolfram, $40 pcm in 1976 is $150 pcm today, http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=40+in+1976+USD

I don't really know how to start (or how to be sure if I'd really like the solitude that much after a few weeks/months...)



what is 'pcm'?


I guess "per calender month".


Yes, sorry; I thought it was a standard abbreviation. Or maybe I've looked at too many rental ads. Perhaps there's a better one?

I guess "per month", "/month" and "monthly" all work well, though I'd like a shorter one. Maybe "pm" or "/m". Or perhaps convert it to years, and use "pa". I'm fussing over this a bit, but I agree with pg that in some cases, conciseness helps readability.


Yes, though Paul Graham's notion of conciseness is not the number of characters, but more like the number of `symbols' or words. So `monthly' should be fine by this measure.
