    Hello World
    Just as a preamble, I thought it would be helpful if I jotted down my potted history. I have lived with disability all my life having contracted polio at age two months – I am left with considerable mobility problems . Notwithstanding, I have faced all life’s challenges with determination – even stubbornness. Prior to commencing my second year at university, I hitch-hiked from Kathmandu to London on my own.

    By 1986 I had risen through the ranks to be a financial controller on £32k pa. Then, on being then made redundant, I switched careers to doing social work – advocating for disabled people in Essex till 2000. I became sole-carer for my partner for the next 5 years till she died from a stroke. Then I was virtually unemployable and lived off savings and my financial wits until I loss the lot mid-2008 due primarily to the recession and me chasing share prices.
    It is has been a tough couple of years since then and I have suffered from severe depression. Now though I am ready to face the World again, though I have no intention to returning to wage-slave status.

    I have developed this piece of software that I call TYPEAHEAD. I am using it to type up this note. Put simply it replaces all common words with short TAGs, cutting down keying effort by nearly 50% – you can see my efforts on two Websites:
    http://www.squidoo.com/typeahead and
    http://www.typeahead.webs.com

    Having developed this software I want to put it to good use typing up reports, etc. for cash. But surprisingly, with typing/mailing from home – all such ventures appear to be no more than scams ? Exploring the opportunities deriving from Adwords does appeal but having briefly explored this area I have been persistently approached by two MLM merchants that doesn’t appeal at all.

    I am currently on benefits and want to earn sufficient to comfortably move completely away from them, but I do not need a fortune. Just enough to fund further development of my software and fuel a minor gambling habit [£15 each Saturday on the Lucky 15 ! ].

    Dear World – I hope this has been helpful and that you will think it worthwhile chatting to me further.

    By the way, my favourite TAGs from my software are – ‘abc_’ for the word ‘Alphabet_’ and ‘ozn_’ for ‘Australian_’

    Best Regards

    Vern
