Chapter 4. How I Spent My Summer
In late summer, decided to write an essay. At least until the sixth grade we were writing each year. I can not say that I can boast of something: my summer, held, or grandmother, or my parents leaving on vacation, and then to the country. Therefore skukotu those essays I will try to compensate for a description of my first summer after I started earning in the network.
Nicholas from the beginning of summer left, and I was left with a decent sagging empire porn sites and gathering speed series vareznikov. In that year it was the trend: sites illegal software rose at all, even the complete losers. Therefore, earning it became easy, though not as much as we would like.
But for a number personal reasons, I would drop everything and leave. So I began looking for such an opportunity, which turned up in the form of relatives in the suburbs. In each extended family has relatives, which remembers only when they are needed. We also lived near Moscow, middle-aged aunt, the youngest daughter of my grandmother's sister. Can not remember, and times that she visited us, but every visit to Moscow, we stopped it. The benefit of her aunt had her own apartment, and besides her and her two dogs out there Nobody lived. Personal life with her aunt did not work: the first husband died of a heart attack, the second time she married and not out, has got no children. Therefore, her loneliness brightened only two Dobermans and relatives from the province.
I had to push all the buttons in the literal and figurative sense, to get permission всех сторон на поездку. Отец согласился сразу, а вот с матерью пришлось поработать подольше, даже наплести ей про несчастную любовь и то, что мне необходимо unwind and seek themselves. To persuade his aunt, I confided to my grandmother. And in late June, I cashed out last earnings from the network finally got on the train, which way to Moscow.
aunt met me, if not welcome, it is quite easy: I pointed out my bed, betrayed the key and marked his daily routine, which I violate no cost: my life suddenly appeared in the 8 am, when my aunt would get up before 10 pm, when went to bed. Feeding in the refrigerator, the key in his pocket, dogs Do not feed.
In a city where she lived her aunt, is a large university or its affiliate (I just never found), which occupies several buildings. A window hostel went straight to his aunt's house. So if you have good optics, I could parse what the rest of the summer in the dorm students.
Usually taken out of the hostel students evicted in the summer, so at this time to settle in applicants from other cities. But some students still find a way to stay sometimes finding arguments in the form of academic work in high school, sometimes agreeing with the commandant.
For me, the students have always been people from another world. In our town was only Trade College, the former PTU. And who wanted to learn more - go to other cities for admission. Returning back - the unit. Others could somehow but get caught on one another city and stay there forever, giving rise to his parents to say "But we somehow Masha graduated from University and now married to a good man ".
sortie in the suburbs of university I took almost immediately after arrival. He reached the hull and began to try something spy. I do not know what I wanted to see, but I have got another: the case of the watchman came and said:
- Newbie? Do?
- Mmmm ... - I nodded.
- Then let's go, I'll see.
Wachter, a pensioner has brought me to the dormitory, then held inside. And when I was about to confess everything and retire, he turned me into a room with a sign "commandant."
- Petrovich, here's a brand new ischo - Okay, said the watchman. COMMANDANT P. strictly measured me.
- Well, let's go.
And we went. After some time I lost orientation throughout the maze of stairs. In the end, the commandant opened the door of one of the many rooms in the corridor.
- This is your room. 'll Come later, will issue you, now I have no time - and P. disappeared.
I stood at the door of the room, a place which had no right. But instead of leave I stayed. Because there was good reason for it. I first saw the laptop. On one of the beds sat a guy in front of him lay a real laptop. For me it was like a spaceship control room to get - in our town laptops was not anybody.
- Hi, I'm Eugene - introduced myself.
- Alex - burknul guy and then buried in a notebook.
I surprised myself, my arrogance, but I went over and sat beside the chair. The guy sitting on the Internet. Cable to the laptop was not let down. I had finally lost his head.
- Wi-Fi? - I nodded to the laptop.
- Yeah - again, grumbled guy.
- strike! - Excuse my French, but I could not help emotions.
- Yes, ohuet - supported the guy. And we neighing like horses.
catch my breath, I asked:
- And can I check STATS? - The guy with the curiosity looked at me, but moved the laptop.
- Check.
I am accustomed to typing in the address, scored his password and a little shocked. As always, good things happen when you no. During my absence had broken one of vareznikov and traffic just went crazy. Respectively, increased and earnings. The guy looking over his shoulder at the columns of figures, said:
- What is it?
- Affiliate.
- do you mean?
- In terms of money is earning.
- Hmm. And for what?
- Eeee - I've even taken aback, had somehow not accounted for explain. - I have a few sites. Cost to advertise on them. But with her money and dropping. Or I send visitors to the pay sites, but when they're paying for services, I calculated the percentage.
- And a lot comes out?
- Oh. Thing or two bucks a month - I gave up imposingly. What did you expect, I was fifteen, and I wanted to Fame. I'm just thrilled when a guy tried to keep serious. But his next sentence nailed me on the spot.
- And you do not have a laptop? There were a
it though he doubted the presence of underwear under my pants. I felt spat. I came out of affiliate programs and close your browser.
- Thanks, I looked everything.
- Oke. So tell me how you do it, make it into the network.
- I'll tell you. A bit later. I have to go over things - and I shamefully fled from the room.
evening I categorically told her aunt that I need a computer store. And certainly, the best. The aunt did not know that I have with him was almost three thousand dollars in rubles - unspent balances of my online earnings for several months. But to hold up the store agreed.
We went to Moscow. Aunt, living in the city, had a dissenting opinion about the local shops, preferring to do all the important purchases in Moscow. Its capital, developed over the years unmistakable scent led us to a wholesale shop, where he was and showroom, where they stood - laptops. I circled around a table with laptops at least half an hour in Polukhov listening to the consultant. I had to make a crucial choice. So it should not have to hurry.
Finally, I selected an animal with pyatnadtsatidyuymovym screen, 512 megabytes of memory and processor Tseleron 1.7. It was not the most expensive model, but it surpasses even my home computer. A silver case of the cheap plastic seemed to peak komyuternogo design. And, of course, within the was useless for our city, but the date in Moscow already Wi-Fi.
I was carrying a box with a laptop, this word was the greatest value, not for a moment letting her out of hand. 'm Home, I spent several hours reading all the programs. It was a real pleasure. I was in an instant mobile. Able to work wherever I want. I seemed to myself the hero of the movie where the smart guys are always close-open the laptop screen, hacking sites using a text editor.
remains to solve the problem with the Internet. And, I think I knew one acceptable solution.
- Hi, Alex - said I was at the door.
- Oh! And you yesterday governor sought - showed surprising guy. It seemed that he did not rise from her bed.
- Yes, you know ... - And then I told him how all situation was in reality. We laughed. And then I showed my laptop, lied yesterday that left him at home, and asked to connect to the network dormitory. In return I promised to coach Alexei on earnings in the network.
That's how I got the Internet and the first student, although Alexei was already a sophomore and a two-year I was older.
We spent almost the whole day together. I really do not know what to think about this aunt. I've coached by Alexei on the theory, and then together we surf on the Internet. Sometimes we left the laptop alone and talked about everything. So, I learned that Alex's son forever seconded the parents of Petroleum. Since home doing nothing, he decided to stay in a hostel. I learned and that such a university, as you study and what dedication to students. Which is pretty boring school brightens students' spree, for which the administration of the hostel turned a blind eye, if only property is not broken.
So we would talk about anything and continued, if not once Alex said:
- Listen, why do not you improve this module. This is also very inconvenient to score twice.
- Since the engine is arranged.
- And that the engine, it's just a bunch of scripts. Write your own.
- I do not know.
- You have to learn. It's not so difficult.
Alex got me thinking. After all, I really able to work faster and better if made the engine more attuned to their needs. The same thing I could say about the other scripts. But the conclusions I came to the opposite. Instead of learning myself, I decided to look for someone who will do it for me. The benefit of experience of writing the parser in the order I already had.
time to expand, said I am to myself. And I decided to learn about the challenges a programmer living in a hostel. At that moment I thought it a good idea. But realized it was not meant to be. In late July, my grandmother became ill and I was just in case, called home and settled for her. Although I suspect that embellished the situation, my mother, who had troubled me for so long lack of native Palestine.
However, I did not mind. Now I have a laptop, purpose and a great desire to move mountains. And also the idea.
