Good question. I'd barely been a punter for a few weeks when James (the original proprietor) suddenly e-mailed me and said he was going on holiday and would I mind holding the reins for a fortnight. In those days mobile computing and surfing was restricted to lugging a heavy laptop around and piggy-backing a random hotspot. He warned me about two thugs and left me the codes and keys. On his return the site was still running and the two thugs had been kicked in the teeth. These days, I'm not allowed to be as vicious as I was, also I'm a bit more circumspect about things, needless to say he asked me to stay on.
As for the tampon thing, well its complicated. Part of me has an exhibitionist streak but it also stems from the days when for two years, after the birth of my twins, I stayed at home doing the odd research for a private equity partnership and owning a small production outfit supplying content to porn publishers. I had an interest in porn but wanted to get away from the Californian plucked chicken look that was predominate in the industry. Eventually I sold the business to another content producer and its still operating. I went back to industry, working for Textron Inc for six years. I left all that a decade ago and now work in something completely different.
