The holy prayer

I don't like those Jehovah witnesses, bold headed Krishna book sellers and similar.
I know that all is about the money. Always. And all their ear wide smile and sweet talk is just a screen.
A couple of days ago I'm watching the TV after work, tired and hungry, waiting for the dinner to get cooked. The door bell rings. I open the door and see two neatly dressed women with a sweet smile and a pile of booklets, where the group of people with same smiles are walking in a garden among lions and tigers. They say:
- Good evening
- Good bye,- I reply and close the door.
- Fu**ing asshole,- I hear behind the door with a sound of a neighbor door bell ringing.

Get it started

I've registered at AdSense program and got a PayPal account, so now, please, everyone, visit the advertisers you see present on my blog!
Then I was thinking on how to attract some traffic to my site... All the schemes like "win an iPod contest" and like that seem too dirty to me, I just want to have a non intrusive way of attracting the mob.
What is the most important when you live in a country like mine, is the sense of humor. Either you have fun of all shit happening around, or you get really upset. I am of the former kind, so I'll just be posting the funny stories that happen with me and my friends.
Be ready for great fun!

ipod hunt started

Everyone has heard of iPod, many people have it. Unfortunately not me. And none of my friends have it. But today we have a chance -- I came across a neat contest where we can win an iPod! I have doubts about my chances as this might be a trickery, but let's be optimistic!
The contest is hosted on http://iboughtamac.com/ which is a great place for the new mac users. Don't know what to do with you fresh Mac? It's ok, it always takes a while to learn about new thing, whether it is a cellphone, a computer program or new instant soup. And especially if it is a totally new OS, totally new culture. The Mac culture! Get there and learn how to handle you Mac!
A power Mac user? You think so? Get there and show yourself or learn a lot of new stuff! I will be soon a visitor of this site too, right after I expand my apple products family and win a new mac!

The way to save money

Yet another day closer to be a millionaire! While I'm not earning money so far I can at least save them. I will describe to you my faithful readers the ways I save money.
First of all, don't pay the fare, if you can. Anywhere. When I was younger, I didn't pay for the transport at all. How? Very simple. The month ticket for all city transport is very easy to forge, it is extremely low-tech -- just a plastic card with some picture and name of the month. The only outstanding thing was a small silver hologram in corner. So I just scanned the ticket and printed it, cutting the hologram from the old ticket and glued it to my new one with a small piece of gum. Although the printer was bad and the colors were dim and I had to paint them with color pencils to make it look more real.
Well, paper is not plastic. So I put the ticket behind a transparent plastic in my wallet (designed to hold photos) to hide the color problems and material mismatch. And that's it! If a conductor had come to check my ticket I just opened a wallet and showed the "ticket" -- they never asked to drag it out:)
The only inconvenience was that I had to reprint the ticket each month... But I've found the way. A friend of mine was an invalid and he was given a permanent ticket card for all kinds of transport. So I borrowed it and scanned, then edited in photoshop to put in my name, as you had to show your ID along with a ticket and -- job is done!
Although the poor printer quality let me down several times -- the conductor took me to police and they took it away... until the next day I printed a fresh one! Well once I had too much stress talking to police, so I stopped doing that: I've grown older and these things could lead to criminal punishment. *Sigh*
Besides that, I'm sure I improve my karma doing things right, and soon I will have a nice reward -- I'll become rich!
Well, at the end a piece of advice -- if you can, don't pay the fare and save the money (first check the law and if it's worth the risk), otherwise pay and be pleased that your karma is improving!

Day 1

My name is Tenokan Tagonar. I work in IT and live in a poor country. I work as a team lead in one company full time, part time in another, but it doesn't seem that one day I will be able to buy anything like a flat or a car. Recently my company improved the internet connection so I'm able to surf the net very quickly and I opened a lot of new stuff. Among others was the digg.com and blogs. I heard about the blogs, but never had time to see any or start one. But recently I've read this post and decided to learn more and try to win something.
Why not? I have good English so I created this blog to participate in contests and describe my other discoveries on the web.
There are many opportunities on the web to earn money
I am amazed by the idea of this guy who also wanted to get rich. I'll invite him to this blog too some day. I'm very new to these things, but I plan to start earning money on adds too. Please visit my blog and recommend it to friends so that it become more popular.
