It seems that Advertlets is not the only one in failing to pay bills in time. The oh-so-famous FBI does too. I was reading the news over at MSN Live and cracked up at one of the headlines: FBI wiretaps dropped due to unpaid bills.
Telephone companies have cut off FBI wiretaps used to eavesdrop on suspected criminals because of the bureau’s repeated failures to pay phone bills on time.
A Justice Department audit released Thursday blamed the lost connections on the FBI’s lax oversight of money used in undercover investigations. Poor supervision of the program also allowed one agent to steal $25,000, the audit said.
Advertlets is just a small fry compared to this. Just proves how twisted this world is. Many crime investigators and authorities worldwide commit crimes behind our backs and play nice in front of us.
Anyways, I’ve been caught up in work and real life this past couple of days. And I’ve been commissioned~ One is an ongoing project of copywriting. It’s a very small project, $1.5 per 200-400 words but I have to do around 5 to 10 per day. For a lazy student like me, $10 – $15 per day is already okay. I get paid on the spot everytime I submit my work. I so love being a part-time freelancer at GetAFreelancer.Com! What I did was the past few days were:
- Sunday: Installed, configured and test-run a Joomla site with Virtuemart
- Monday: Fix scripting on one Arabics football news website
- Tuesday: Write 5 lengthy articles on language and technology
- Wednesday: Made a custom WordPress template for a maid agency
I guess I can take a break now.

Very impressive!!!
You are really good in making side money. For sure you are good in time management. When do you find time to study???
I guess FBI too busy chasing ‘terrorist’ until forgotten their own organization
Things I do to make some money to fund myself… *sigh* I’m on college break now, so I can chill out for a while. When college resumes, I’ll have a whole different schedule. Hehe.. I usually revise my lessons right after class ends to make sure I understand what was taught and re-revise a few hours at night before I go to sleep
Waah, too true!! I wholeheartedly agree
I shudder to think of what would happen if it happens to our PDRM… Scary… 
I gave up on Advertlets already
I’m just concentrating on AdSense…
I gave up of both Advertlets and Adsense. Those two tied at #1 for having the codes that managed to screw up loads of scripting on my sites
Currently focusing on Adbrite.
