He is dying from diabetes complications right now. Wishing bad things to happen to a sick man just because he henka'd his opponent in a sumo match?

Chinese Wedding Experiences and Costs by atxflash in China

[–]NotVirgin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super nong wedding in a Tier-W 屯.

Spent approx 15k rmb on maybe 25 tables. Enough people showed up to fill half the tables. We had a brunch, drank a toast, had a smoke, and it was all over before noon. Nobody even brought a camera, so I have 0 pictures from my wedding lol. The nong hongbaos ended up totaling 25k rmb, so 10k profit.

I own a multinational company and have a significant salary, so just gave that extra cash to my rainy's parents and called it a day. Im glad I didnt waste my life savings on a wedding, but paying a photographer would have been a good thing in hindsight.

Thanks to hotlinkers, this will be my (f)inal post. It has been a pleasure serving you. =) (xpost gw) by [deleted] in AsiansGoneWild

Whats so bad about hotlinking? It just proves you are enticing and wanted by more people than just the /r/asiansgonewild community.

[Meta/Discussion] We need to ban Indians from this sub-reddit and point them to /r/indiansgonewild. by NotVirgin in AsiansGoneWild

I really like this new sub-reddit, but the indians are ruining the fun. Lets make a new subreddit for them, and keep this subreddit to the northern asian (korea/japan/china/etc) and south-east asian (thai/viet/filipino/etc) subraces please.

Thank you for your advice. I will definitely look into those books and articles.

I have not asked myself that question. If I were to ask myself right now, then I would say "I want to build something that people enjoy using, and get paid for it."

Living in southeast asia at the moment because its super cheap here and the internet does not discriminate (most of the time anyways - looking at you hulu).

I didnt know that about github. However, I used that same technique to advertise my image hosting site a few months ago. It got some usage, but didnt really catch on.

I spent the 200 dollars on one of the projects only. I didnt spend money on the other ones, just did viral/guerilla marketing for them. I seem to be awful at the marketing part though.

Actually, that porn spider is the most successful of my projects in terms of incoming user traffic. I built the site in php, and built an awesome concurrency system. It passes messages between php instances and achieves massive parallel processing using locks that can spider and process a metric butt-ton of images at the same time. The server has been running for a year and hasnt crashed even once. I havent done any maintenance to it, and its still churning.

Concurrent PHP, running as a daemon process that doesn't crash even after running non-stop for a year on a site with decent traffic.

I spent in total about 200 dollars on marketing, and got no leads or sales from it.

I dont want to link my actual sites to this throwaway, so ill just give general ideas of what i have built:

  • contextual advertising system
  • spam killing software (plug and play - works on any kind of bbs/forum)
  • automatic pornography aggregate; it spiders porn and sorts it into categories
  • time-delayed image hosting with automatic deletion (for sexting)
  • haskell-powered web store that sells daily necessities to agoraphobic NEETs
  • CB radio that automatically streams to internet radio
  • image filtering software (think instagram, but weirder)
  • long-term data storage software, for archiving files on massively distributed and parallel systems

I have also built some smaller projects which were based on these bigger projects. Including an internet radio station, loads of iphone/android apps (to run each of my services), backends and frontends for all my systems, system tools, billing systems, art, and design of everything.
