My alarm on my phone woke me up this morning. I turned it off and noticed that I had a text message waiting. It was a message from 3 informing me that I need to top up as my phone balance was low. A good sign for the achievement of my challenge.
As of 7:45am this morning I had loss of $232.44 from yesterday! This was much better than expected. The secret of my success…last night I connected my phone to my laptop, and used the phones 3G connection to power the Internet traffic on my computer. Genius. Last night the 3 network participated in some grid computing and also some “reciprocal” grid computing (aka Torrent sharing).
But I got too carried away. It all happened while I was sleeping too. I had connected my phone to my computer, setup the grid software and let the phone provide me with some bandwidth (I was getting like 5k/sec though so whether I did anything useful is debatable), set up a few Torrents, and went to lie down. Before I did so though I checked my balance, and my previous surfing though my phone had used around $40. Not bad. $100 is a good figure. I’ll get up to $100 and then turn it off.
But as the $100 mark was being reached, I was sleeping.
The only reason that my laptop didn't carry on using the phone as an Internet connection was that the power on my laptop ran out. I now only have $20 to last me these few days. $20 should be loads though. I mean, based on Day 1 when I actually made a profit, 3 days should be easy.
