need money fast

Post by m4rine »

my pc has been messing up for about 3 months now, its got loads of junk and a malicious script that multiplys a large file loads until I have only 300mb out of 40 gigs left (Norton Antivirus is broken aswell, it crapped up by pc so it wouldnt start, and i had to uninstall it). To put it simply, my computer is totally bust.

so I decided to get a new PC. And i need money to do that. There isn't much chance of my parants funding it, and I only just turned 13 last Thursday and I live in a small village so I can't get a proper job.

But one thing that I am looking for is a job on the internet, something to do with PC's. I have designed numerous websites before and can program in PHP; so things like members only websites and other cool stuff I can create. What I'm asking is: is there anyone you know who wants a website and is willing to pay a bit of money for it? ALso, is there a kind of un-official IT job I can get on the net where I don't need to submit my age and stuff? I might be able to start taking the new PC idea seriously if I had a bit of money on my hands...

any help would be much appreiciated!

you said the problem: town. No town, just a tiny (about 30 house) village with one paper round; wich is already taken by someone who isn't likely to quit for a very long time.

and as for oddjobs, well i don't really like to bring up my past but i don't have the best of reputations in the village to say the least. WHich isn't all my fault, i say in my own defence.

And also my parents would say "you should be concentrating on your school work" and that would be that.

can't help u with a job, u probably won't come over to Germany, would u? :cry:

dunno much 'bout your pc config, but a 40gig hdd isn't that bad. If the rest is in similar condition, i'd say u best use the time til u find a job or get some bucks from Santa Claus to do a complete (!) reinstall. The symptoms you're describing seem to be rather caused by having installed too much crap, maybe even a virus than a too slow machine...
So, backup your maps ( :wink: ) and format your 40gig!!
