   That's not an email address of mine, no.

   When I started my blog, the explanation was in one of my first posts, but let me explain again - on the one hand I am doing something that makes me quick cash. On the other hand, I am building an audience with my blog. Then I use the quick

   Because the other companies in the niche are not posting blog entries like I am. It's not "obvious" but it's easy to copy.

   Okay, for the curious, I will make you a deal. Anyone who emails me today or tomorrow, I will provide them with a link to the things I do, provided you will keep it to yourself. I will make a mass-email tommorow and send it to everyone. The

   In a few months, when I have entered the second stage of my business, I will start talking about my products. It's just a choice. I am not marketing to the startup or hacker crowd, just to the normal people.

   I am going to make it public, I just was waiting till august, as that's how my startup plan is constructed. Now would be premature and have no benefit, but in august I would have a clear benefit.

   Because there is very little space for competition in what I am doing, and two or three enterprising souls could destroy my profits

   I'm not a fraud, a fair number of people have seen the numbers directly and know the business, I've just tried to keep the number low for now.

    Well, send me an email and we can talk.

    Why don't you just email me if you are so curious? My business model is easy to duplicate and posting something like this is not good for me, I would prefer it if you would just do this privately.

    I'll say one thing - nobody gave a shit about me till the very first time I posted revenue figures a few months ago. Then I went from 40 twitter followers to 300 in a couple of days or so.

    I would not put out an ad asking for people to hire, rather I'd work with people on project basis, and if I found one that is a good fit, I'd ask him to join. Would that be illegal also?

    You may have a point on 4 trips per year being better than 2 trips. Two weeks will certainly be more interesting, but I'm afraid that the amount of productivity may not be quite as high. If the trip is too exciting, it will drop productivit

    I would not pay business class flights and actually in Bangkok we stayed two per room. I remain a cheap guy :)

    But what if this is condition of the job? When you apply, you are informed that you have to do this. If its unacceptable, you simply do something else.

    Actually, you point out a flaw in this model. Hiring has to be very specific - you need people who you can hang around with for a month and they don't drive you crazy with their teeth grinding or something. So my hiring would have to be ver

    Last 6 months have been high enough to sustain this, but who knows that the future will bring. If ever income drops down, then one would simply stop this, and look for solutions that fit the income level.

    Yes, but very expensive. The trips are not cheap at $700 a flight. Ship captains and oil rig engineers leave their family for 6 weeks or more at a time. There are some people for whom this type of travel is workable, and some for whom it is

    I just setup a VPN for a guy in china, and dropbox works fine then. Setup servers with different ip addresses?

    I hope dropbox will refund the payment to all the users who are now unable to use their service.

    Is it an exploit or is it a valid command? I don't think we hacked anything, we just typed in some text that causes people to follow us, for all we know that's a new feature of twitter.

    And the command now gives "internal server error"

    I wonder if they are going to be able to undo this. Do they have a two sided log of the follow process? If it's just one-sided, they may be able to fix the bug but not to reverse the damage.

    Wow, this works. SnoopDogg is now following me: http://twitter.com/snoopdogg . I'm the cartoon figure.

    I don't get it - what's not kosher? I see topless young girls on the discovery channel quite often and the king of swazilands marriage had a lot of young topless girls dancing about.
