    I am considering purchasing a Netbook.

    Which Netbook do you use and what programs would you suggest?

    • Neville 27. Aug, 2010 at 2:58 pm #

      I would suggest the HP Mini (at least that’s what was best a year ago when I bought mine).

      It was super cheap (I got mine for less than $300) and has an almost-full-sized keyboard. Most of the Acer netbooks I played with had SHIT keyboard I could barely type on!

        Thank you Neville.

        Your blog is great!

    You spend a lot of time working but what do you do for fun? Do you have a girlfriend? Since you are a Zoroastrian and the population is so small, do you plan on marrying outside your religion? I enjoy your blog and think you are brilliant!

      Me? Spend a lot of time working? Did you see this:

      ….hahahaha!

      As for your other questions:

      1.) No girlfriend at this very moment (wow, you’re getting a little personal here for a post about a netbook)!

      2.) Would I PREFER to marry a Zoroastrian girl? Yes. Is it an absolute requirement? No.
      It seems unfair to disqualify 99.9% of the non-Zoroastrian female population based on something they could not control at birth.

      3.) Thank you very much :-)

    Do you have any more experiments planned?
    I notice you’ve been on a few trips around the US and the world, but haven’t really posted anything significant regarding these, except the Dubai trip. I think these would make for interesting reading.

      Mark,

      A lot of those trips were for personal time. Going to weddings, visiting friends etc….they didn’t have business purpose (which I prefer when a trip has BOTH business and pleasure).

      As I’m posting more often now, my personal life will likely get more mention on this blog.

      Thanks for the suggestions, I always take them into consideration (and very often write them out).

      As for the money experiments…remember how I wrote about punishing myself with a $300 donation to the homeless shelter if I don’t blog every day? Well maybe I’ll REWARD myself with a money experiment.

      I’m thinking another scratch lottery experiment with $300 in lottery tix? What do you think?

    I agree Mark, I have been checking every few days for new money experiments. What do you do with that netbook of yours to make money, we all want to learn! haha.

      Paul,

      Currently HouseOfRave is a big part of it. Plus I don’t think I work that much, I’m very inefficient at utilizing ALL my time. I may “work” for 8 hours, but most of that isn’t work.

      What do you think about a $300 scratch lottery experiment? Like this, but more scientific:

      Any other suggestions?

  5. Mark 27. Aug, 2010 at 7:06 pm #

    $300 scratch lottery doesn’t really quality as an “experiment” but it’s fun to see the results, nonetheless.

    The one suggestion I have, but may bore your other readers, is for you to discuss tax issues you face as a small business owner. I’m assuming that you have multiple sources of income besides the HOR website. You may not get alot of hits, but I find this stuff interesting.

    My notebook is Acer. And it’s 14 inch and heavy.

    You could use it as a microloan / venture capitalist type thing. Put an advert out somewhere that you’re willing to mentor someone for x hours and give them a loan to get started in return for a certain equity, and see what happens!
