A couple old PC's in a closet would work... I suspect he is doing something with computers for a career and this is all just piggy back riding on his real dream.

I'd hope he is making money off the oil-patch at the very least. Being in Alberta, it's really not wise to not get into the oil-patch... unless you like being poor and dying on the street when Canada's welfare state experiment completely collapses.

Oil patch accounting for example is dull... but 300,000$ a year isn't.

Planets.nu is part of a web design business and Joshua is not the only one working on it. It runs in Amazon S3 so the whole thing is very virtualized and very flexible to accommodate growth or shrinkage as needed.

Web design business... well now I just feel sorry for the whole crew.

Seriously, just move to Grande Prairie or Fort Mac, smart people are rare in the Oil Patch and they rise quickly... I have contractor friends that pull in 100,000 a month! You'll realize you're a libertarian and hate income tax damn quick too.

I did my time, now I sit on my ass all day playing VGA Planets and can do so until I die. Work hard, save money, retire. Anything else is silly in Alberta.
