So far, I don't think I've created anything that other people would find interesting or useful enough to give me money for; I'm not skilled or experienced when it comes to programming, and generally just muddle along, gradually learning as I go.Why don't you sign yourself onto some courses, or something along those lines? I've always learned more effectively when pursuing things on my own than when following a curriculum. I tend to get stressed and anxious about assignments and exams, and spend more time worrying than studying, which isn't an issue if I'm taking things at my own pace and don't have any obligations. It would also cost significant sums of money for a university-level course, relative to my income. I already have a B.Sc in geography, so I don't qualify for much in the way of financial aid (and the aid I got for my first degree was all in the form of student loans that I still owe).

Are you getting paid for the coding stuff, or is it a hobby?
I discovered this yesterday, thought you might find it interesting. Dunno if it would be useful for your current project since it sounds like you've got a different kind of algorithm structure, but nonetheless:http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20327151.600-memristor-minds-the-future-of-artificial-intelligence.htmlPlus some stuff on self-organized criticality and the patterns/balance of neurons firing:http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20227141.200-disorderly-genius-how-chaos-drives-the-brain.html

She plopped down on my bed and told me to go ahead and open it for her.14:11 - Peter5930: So, she thought I was your lover and that I was sending you a box full of sex toys, and that you wanted to move to Glasgow to be with me?
Have you read this - its apparently coming in your area:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8153564.stm
You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.
Here's the latest version of the project I'm working on. It's not pretty, it doesn't have a user interface, it's buggy and it doesn't do anything particularly interesting, but I've set it up to run a simple demo where it finds solutions to a range of mathematical problems that I've coded into it. It doesn't actually tell you what the solutions are; it just gives an overview of the average fitness of individuals in the population, and of how large and varied the genomes are over time, but it demonstrates that it works, and if you look through the source code, you might get an idea of what's going on behind the scenes. The compiled binary is windows-only, but the source should compile on linux.link
How is Scotland like to live in?
