Ever Wondered who Mugu is? May 30, 2005
Posted by Martin in : Computers, Websites , 6commentsThere seems to be a person called Mugu who makes a point of signing every guestbook they can with some strange but inoffensive message. Mr (or Mrs) Mugu is indeed a busy busy person.
I had one such visitation over the weekend and decided to investigate. The most logical choice was Mugu.com which gave me a good foundation.

The things I’ll do for money May 25, 2005
Posted by Martin in : Business , 2commentsYes I know it doesn’t look so nice and this site is now laden with banners but for the little extra work it entails from me and for the number of visitors I get to this site I’m happy to swallow my ego.
Every recent post is now ’sponsored’ as such and I’ll be very grateful if you guys can click on the links when you finish reading the posts.
I need to tweak the advert content over the next few days and see how I can make the ad’s open in a new screen but I think for now it is working ok.
Thanks for your help .

Posted by Martin in : Business, Computers , add a commentOn interviewing a web designer who’d submitted a $500 bid to complete a new website …
Martin: have u read the specs for it?
Them: Yes…we have
Martin: if you had, youd know that it was for the domain codernow.com
Them: I think I missed the attachment, because I read the specifications, give me some time, I am checking
Martin: the attachment IS the specifications!
This guy has contacted me to tell me that he can do the work for me for $500 within 3 weeks without finding out what I wanted done!
I had another guy yesterday who, on discovering I’m in Thailand punctuates his formal proposal with questions about how much it costs to get prostitutes here.
These guys did not get shortlisted.

By Louisa Lim
BBC News, China
Counsellor Tang Weiyao confirmed that even the most highly educated Chinese could be ignorant about sex.
“I had two university students who had been married for two years and hadn’t managed to have children. They went to the hospital for a check-up and it emerged that they didn’t even know the first thing about sex. They thought simply sleeping in the same bed would get her pregnant,” she said.
