I appreciate smaller posts like this, informative and to the point.
If you don't have a big rig devoted to mining only, I would recommend joining a pool. It is consistent but small amounts of money.
Can't really complain since the computer is doing all the work.
I've heard about pools... How do you start looking for those? It's like groups of miners right? And if there are 5 miners you get 20%, 10 miners you get 10% etc.
