250K unique visitors in 30 days
: )
We're very proud of this, milestone, of 250,000 unique visitors per month
This is pretty cool.
We were happy we exceeded 200,000 a few weeks ago
Oh my, so on August 3rd, we hit past 200K, so now on Aug 9th, just 6 days later, we're moving past 250,000 -- COOL!
It's all because of our great, exuberant authors. I had a great, fun time, with Hemasiri who is like, a part of our family. He's come in his shorts. He's enjoyed our famous frosted strawberry pies with brown sugar cinnamon. Although, the frosting had too much vanilla this time.
I was sad, Tenali didn't show up, as I had planned to show her somethings, a surprise, and give her -- her share of our profit. But her mom, Nilmini had a special event in her life, and was tired. She spoke to me, and said she considered me to be a part of her family. I was touched. My mom's shy, but will hopefully see.
I was going to show her, my mom with Vijaya Kumaratunga as a small child, at my mom's birthday, to help her grow her confidence.
I didn't go to bother Quintus, but he's pulled off many sales. He's gotten 6 sales thus far, which is impressive, with 1 sale from USA.
His books, from the "250,000" were:
Countries: Sri Lanka 139 views, US 109, Australia 54, UK 15, Canada 10, Singapore 7.
I found, many people, only look at the website homepage. That's why Daily Mirror in SL, they offer ad spots in their homepage mostly, in multiple locations.
We're proud of Tenali, that 1 lady bought her work from Italy. She had no trouble buying it for $5. Our website works perfectly. Anyone anywhere can buy a product by anyone about anything on AngryPages anytime.
We came into this, hopeful that we can help the people of Sri Lanka, with exporting creative products, that we'd help them export their ideas, stories and IP, from SL, to anywhere, and wow, that dream is coming true.
And she's just 11 years old.
I've made a few videos of her book, because -- she had a dream about showing her story to her friends as a movie -- which I'll show her on Saturday.
We told Daily Mirror, it's like a "IP piggy bank", and when Nilmini said she's saving for Tenali's education, when I boasted about our JP Morgan Chase bank, I saw how this would be a piggy bank that she'd never have to burst, to make the most of it, it's a piggy bank, an asset, who will grow with you.
Today, when I emailed her, I was talking about how I made "game assets" via blender, which sometimes crashes when I design game maps, and I've shared Scales' 3d render on this story.
All of it, belongs to her, it's all her IP, not mine, not AngryPages, and we're very happy about this.
We will never make a young girl a promise, if we know we can't keep it.
This is the game map, we made up for Tenali's Scales Game. It's a cute, easy on the eyes one, we can build on.
The trouble with games, is that these are designed for mobile and also desktop, at the same time, so a mobile phone's system requirements, and stuff, it varies, and isn't as great a laptop or desktop.
So it is a bit difficult, and we try to keep it simple to compensate for this.
I'm glad that we have Quintus, me / Lehan, and Tenali, making sales. Hemasiri promised to finish up this week. Another author promised to finish up by next week. And some more are on the pipeline.
We are pretty picky. But we form good rapport with our authors, which is pretty warm, unlike most publishers, who treat them like fishermen at a fish market, or some kind of convenience store, where they buy and sell.
No, we actually love our authors, and form bonds with them, we invest in them where we can, and we share their dreams.
And that's what drives us.
Quintus, I have to see on Wednesday. Hemasiri's book, has some controversy, so he's writing it cautiously. He's spoke to my mom about Lalith Nanayakkara, and my mom knows aunt Tilomi well. I saw her son Jojo was friendly. I was a groom's man to Uwin, who is Captain Lasantha Waidyaratne's son. His mom, Dilrukshi, she was showing me newspaper clippings and stuff. But I doubt he wants to publish. He has a nice Patek Philippe watch he was showing me, while I was hitting his champagne which he'd bought for his son's wedding.
I'm not "a free loader", but that was mighty good champagne from those Bond movies or something.
One day, we'll hopefully publish like Kamal or Gota, and Sajith, and Hans, and Thilanga, and various public figures.
And someone, some dude in India, or some lady in Italy, or somewhere someplace somehow, will be like, whoa, this is fun, this is cool, and I should be a part of this AngryPages cult, and franchise, or represent them, there's people in my town, in my state or country, to publish, and I know, I know, just exactly where...
And an AngryPages® product is a special product.
It's like that Celine Dion song, an AngryPages® story "can be written one time, but last a lifetime", and my words will go on and on -- and yadda yada yadda
And so on and so forth
We must, as a cult, help save the unpublished, with the power of AngryPages, to save them, to rescue their souls, so that their legacy is real, so they are beyond obscurity, so they evade oblivion
We have a God given duty to save the people with AngryPages®
Jesus Christ himself avoid being erased by history, by refusing Satan's deal, to be known for ever and ever for who he is
And I know, I believe with faith the size of a tall mustard tree, that this AngryPages® are what he'd want to write his story on
An AngryPages® story "can be written one time, and last for a lifetime"
And never fade away, until we're gone
Truth is when you write here, one true word you'd swear to
This is the email I sent my mom. My "Ammi". She's very old now. I don't take her seriously. I don't respect.
Hi Shanika,
Please do not discuss AngryPages Inc., a California-based U.S. company, with me again.
Your behavior toward me has been bizarre, erratic, and, in my view, delusional for years. Your repeated pattern of accepting guests, rejecting them, changing your position, and attempting to interfere while I am speaking to people has now been documented.
I am deeply ashamed that, in your 50s, you have presided over the loss of Ceylon Weighing Machines, the S-Class, and the garden through a legal dispute that you failed to properly pursue from approximately 2005 and only petitioned over much later.
Your record does not give you any standing to advise me on business, finance, legal strategy, trust, or company management. From my perspective, your experience has principally demonstrated how to lose money, mishandle litigation, make disastrous agreements, and damage relationships within your own family.
If I had been deciding that case, based on what I know, I would have regarded the underlying arrangement with Lal as an extraordinarily poor agreement that you knowingly entered into and then allowed to damage our family's position for decades.
You and Jagath insisted on handling the dispute involving Lal as a legal matter. Thus far, that effort has, in my view, failed completely. Yet Lal, whom I believe caused enormous financial harm to our family, appears to be one of the few people who continues to respect your handling of matters.
Do not presume to lecture me about how to run AngryPages.
Do not sit beside me and attempt to instruct me on the legal, operational, financial, or strategic management of my company. You have invested essentially nothing in AngryPages beyond asking Koshitha and Oshi to purchase approximately $10 worth of products. Beyond that, your contribution has largely consisted of criticism.
You therefore have no authority to tell me whom I should invite, whom I should trust, whom I should speak to, or with whom AngryPages should conduct business.
The incident involving Nilmini was particularly unacceptable. If I am speaking to someone and wishing her a happy birthday, you do not interfere, make faces, walk away dramatically, or attempt to dictate whether I may speak to her. Given that behavior, you are in no position to instruct me on how I should communicate with other people.
Regarding Hemasiri, I have already reached the end of my patience. If he cannot provide the book this week as promised, I am prepared to terminate the publishing relationship. I have already removed six authors where the relationship was no longer worth maintaining, and I will do so again.
At least Tenali and Quintus have produced actual sales and demonstrated some value to AngryPages.
This boundary is final:
Never attempt to advise me again on how to run AngryPages, whom I should trust, whom I should invite, or how I should conduct my business.
You do not have the experience, results, investment, or authority to do so.
Lehan
I have total disgust for people. I haven't any mercy in me. I don't care. I published that Gamini dude, for fun.
I told him he can write whatever he likes about Jagath. Because we don't care. But I was nice about it.
They chose to take down some stuff. I don't really care.
Stupid cow, Shanika's days are numbered, she is my mom, she's going to live for less than 10 - 20 years now.
I won't tolerate any advisory from a loser like her.
A Correction on the Ceylon Weighing Machines Dispute
I want to correct one point from what I wrote earlier about Shanika and the long-running Ceylon Weighing Machines dispute.
I said that, if I were the judge, I would dismiss her case as having no merit. Having looked more carefully at the issue, that statement was too absolute.
If Shanika was a minority shareholder and Lal continuously withheld company financial information from her, excluded her from information she was entitled to receive, or otherwise continued oppressive conduct over the years, she may have a legitimate shareholder-oppression case.
Sri Lankan company law recognizes that oppression does not necessarily have to consist of one dramatic event. The Supreme Court has recognized that a continuing series of acts—or even continuing inactivity—can form a continuing story of oppression up to the date proceedings are filed.
That means a refusal beginning around 2005 would be very different from financial information continuing to be withheld for many years afterward. If the conduct genuinely continued, the fact that the dispute began a long time ago does not automatically make the case frivolous.
So, on that point, Shanika may have been right to go to court.
My criticism is different.
If she knew for years that she believed her rights were being violated, I believe she should have acted much earlier and much more effectively. Allowing a serious corporate dispute to remain unresolved for something approaching two decades is, in my opinion, an extraordinary failure of judgment and execution.
But delay is not the same thing as having no case.
If Lal continuously oppressed her as a shareholder or continuously withheld financial information from her, that deserves to be determined properly by a court on the evidence.
None of this changes my separate position regarding AngryPages Inc. Her family litigation does not give her authority over my company, and I will not accept instructions from her about whom AngryPages should trust, invite, publish, employ, or conduct business with.
Those are two different issues, and they should remain two different issues.
Good things I heard from Hemasiri and my Ammi last night
I think it's true, we need to be careful, with people.
But I haven't faced any real attack or dispute, as our terms are neatly outlined.
The publishing flow is simple enough.
We haven't had any issues with the Sri Lanka gov't or tax authorities yet. Because FB or Google are the same as us, and they also don't have any issues. When we do pay a client author, we do it fast, with our US bank, with a wire payment. That's all, there's nothing complicated. We get their wire details, then send it.
I don't care about all that, I think the 80% rate to authors is fair, we don't need more than 20%, and it's a great service.
She's a loser. I've always called her that. And I wish she had died with my dad. She was just such a f***ing loser.
I don't like her.
I don't like losers like that.
I would have thrown her case out as a judge. But because Lal's ETI Finance wife Deepa, and him, have made too many mistakes. I'd have handled it, where they are dealt with. But even so, she's made a stupid mistake, losing all of her money. And I think it's something she needs to think about more.
If it's oppression, then, that's continued, it's whatever. I'd have dismissed her case, saying, your duty is to sue asap, not wait 15 years. But that's just me. I'd do that. Because it only makes sense. I hate losers, who can't do their duty, or their job. I just don't like people like that. So I'd destroy them for fun. To be done with them.
I will dismiss that Hemasiri guy this week. I think that, I changed my approach, where I told him, "oh we don't need story cards" or "we don't need pictures", because that's way too complicated. He's a "professional", under Sri Lankan standards, so whatever, I mean, it's not a big deal. But I'll drop the guy, and move forward for fun, cause I don't want to waste time on it.
I'm glad we're an American company, and don't tolerate Sri Lanka, besides their people whom we're virtually trying to rescue with lifeboats.
Which we withdrew from 6 people, we told to drown now.
We won't go out of our way, to help India, or any other country's people, like we are doing with Sri Lanka as a US firm
Because I'm born in Sri Lanka, I have a niceness to the locals. We don't want them to get wiped out. So we're trying turn them into assets, slowly.
I am going to bet on Hemasiri, he's sent me his book anyway, he'll probably be done, no point being upset at him. I am struggling to come up with a reason to hate on Hemasiri, my friend. I mean, even if he's not publishing next week, we'll keep him only around, even if we cut off others wickedly.
Plus we're getting 5 sales from Quintus which is huge.
HUGE.
He's like: Lourenço de Almeida. I'm like 1500's Dharmaparakramabahu. I'm going to see him in a few day's time.
But we should present that award of a bottle, properly.
I like Portuguese people, a lot. I also want to get some sales for my own book.
***
I realize, we can keep all of the authors we threw out. But we won't. Because it's too much effort for us, to serve them. We owe many duties of care. And that's the unseen danger.
Unreliable Narrator: Lehan. Yeah maybe. I'm not exactly a saint. I'm deeply flawed with few if any redeemable qualities
I don't care. I got a nice hair cut from Nadishan at Raula barber shop. He cut it short after several months. And I looked like a guy again. That B mom, was going to put a ponytail. I don't really care about cursing death on her.
I do that to people. The dutch curse sickness on people.
I take the worst I can find from all of the cultures.
And all of their worst bad language or insults, and I make it my own.
I am tired, it's 5 am.
Gotta sleep.
My mom and Hemasiri kept warning me, not to trust people, which was annoying, and stuff, I sent her a bitter email.
And I'll move on.
