Congratulations on getting a new position so soon! (even if it doesn't start for a little while)
Not sure where you live, but maybe you can pick up a short-term gig or two between now and then. Craigslist often has listings like that. At least it would keep a little $ flowing in in the meantime.
You do some great work on here -- thanks! And, like some others have said, maybe you can parlay your computer skills into paying work, too.
Thanks again!
