#2Wow. You've inspired me to work on more side projects in 2015. I'm fascinated by AdDetector. And your Inflation app has seriously made me consider investing my money so it doesn't lose its value. You should consider placing ad links to investment opportunities on the inflation app. Seriously put an affiliate ad to eTrade or Scott Trade or some Bank CD Rates or something.

#4The last year's page link is throwing a 404 error. http://www.ianww.com/blog/blog/2013/12/31/my-year-in-side-pr...
Great side projects btw, if you don't mind me asking, how to do choose to allocate time amongst side projects and keep yourself focused? It seems that with side projects, one challenge is to avoid the trap of too many interesting ones to start working on.

#5Sorry to be this guy, but how much are you earning from your side projects? And also how do you know which side projects to work on?
I've done a few side projects before and it hardly earns me any money (< $500 revenue per year). It really destroys my motivation when the cost of hosting/etc are even higher than my revenue.

After digging around OP's site for a minute, it seems he created a really cool database of all the asteroids in the known universe which was acquired by a company that is actually planning to mine asteroids.
I can't imagine what kind of money they paid him for it, but I bet it was /astronomical/.

#9How does TextBelt send messages to carrier's emails? Don't carriers usually charge for that? If not, what's the point of using a service like Twillio?

Twilio is more complete and supports a lot more carriers and doesn't look like it came from an email address.
TextBelt is pretty sweet though if you want basic messaging.
