I'm affluent, bloated, comfortable, easy, fat, filthy rich, flush, gilded, in clover, independent, loaded, moneyed, opulent, plush, propertied, prosperous, rolling, stinking rich, swimming, upscale, uptown, wealthy, well-heeled, well-off, well-to-do!!

Thanks to the magic of the Amazon referer program, I have now amassed $4 in discount vouchers.

Hence, this blog can no longer be seen as a drain on my time and mental faculties, but rather a gushing stream of filthy lucre.

The $4 was produced by links I provided in the (mildly popular) .Net remoting article I wrote just before christmas. It's the only page at secretGeek that has any affiliate links. I helped in the sale of three books, including one by the excellent Mike Gunderloy (so hopefully Mike can afford a few more racoon traps now).
