I am looking for a way to have some way to have a script execute itself without my input. Is this possible? And it not, what would be another option? I don’t care to use a 3rd party site for cron jobs either.

You could build the code into a web-visible PHP script, and then register it with a URL monitoring service like http://mon.itor.us/ that will load your URL every half hour.
(I’m not sure what you mean by “3rd party site for cron jobs” – hopefully this isn’t it. 🙂
