How I did it
How to purchase a button-maker and make fun illustration faces for everyone :)
It took me
1 day
It made me

How I did it: Since I'm the author of this program, it felt really odd to buy my own work, but it had to be done, to make sure that the payment system really works. I use paypal for this and it's very painful to work with. I can now pay for 2 months of rent, but there is still a long way to go before it can replace a regular job. Read how I did it…

Finally, I have just released my first commercial program, which I believe is a success. I started working on this in 2004 and a good friend of mine happened to work on a similar project, so together we refined our ideas. I have been working full time on it for 1 year now.
