11. What can you tell us about GTE and digital switches?
I worked for GTE California for about 25 years, starting when I was 18 years old. I worked my way up beginning at the very bottom rung and eventually working in the central offices (where you get your dial tone, and all call processing takes place).

I had injured my knee climbing telephone poles and they eventually grounded me from climbing, so they allowed me to go into the central office to one of their first analog switches.

Being an avid and quick learner they eventually sent me to schools to learn how to run and repair their digital switch. I requested the graveyard shift as that was the only time you could actually perform maintenance on them.

When it came to troubleshooting and repair, I was the best they had, and they knew it. They ended up sending me to over 1,000 hours of training so that I was at the level 3 analyst qualified. That means I could read a hexadecimal printout and be able to find the one wire on the backplane that was grounded and causing that stuck all 1's.

12. How did you get involved with fubar?
Good question. A few years ago I used to mod at PIB and would post pictures of places and events that I had attended. JFK saw them and I guess noticed that I had potential . . . either that or something came up in LA that he could not make, so he asked if I would shoot it for him.

I guess I did well enough that he now requests that I shoot any of the many webmaster activities that are help in SoCal, as well as assist him at Internext, Cybernet, Phoenix Forum or any other event where he can't be at 5 places at once.

It has been fun, and opened a lot of doors for me, for which I am quite grateful.

13. Talk about bikes and bicycles you owned and currently own.
I started riding dirt bikes when I was 15, racing Motocross at Ascot Park. Dirt bikes I have owned include Honda 90, Hodaka Ace 90, Hodaka Super Rat, and Yamaha 125 Enduro.

When I turned 18 I quit riding the dirt and went to the street. Those bikes include 1942 Harley-Davidson 45 c.i. flathead (chopper), 1969 Triumph Trident 750 (chopper), 1949 Harley-Davidson Panhead (chopper then custom restoral). I currently own a 1968 H-D shovelhead that I built drom scratch, and a 1986 H-D Heritage Softtail.

14. Why havn't you ever had the guts to leave your home state?
Well, I have traveled all over this country, and while there are some nice places to visit, I wouldn't want to live there. SoCal rocks, sometimes quite literally.

Besides, I hate moving, so my next move will be done by the LA County Coroner's Office.

16. What's it like sharing 400 women with only one other man?
It was 1971, I was 18, there was no AIDS . . .life was good.

All 18 year old boys should have that experience.

18. Why's the big deal with blogs?
I was recently approached by Raven to blog for Klixxx on Kblogger - I didn't really think anyone would be interested in reading about my thoughts, but I decided to give it a shot anyway.

Surprisingly, the results were pretty good, and I ended up with new affiliates and clients.

Legendary Lars had nicknamed me White Cheech at Cybernet Expo last summer, so I registered the domain, www.whitecheech.com. I figured that if I could have good results with webmasters, I would try targeting surfers.

FletchXXX was kind enough to make me a banner and button, and White Cheech became a blog. The search engines have been very kind to me, and in a little over a month I am now getting several thousand hits a day.

I use it to promote programs that I don't really have a vehicle to promote with since most of my time has been dedicated to my AVS.

My first couple of years on the Internet I pretty much stayed away from any boards. When I started becoming involved providing goods to webmasters (around 2000) I decided I had better create a board persona, and baddog was the first name that came to mind.

19. Talk about your work/involvement with xbiz.
Prior to Xbiz being called XBiz it was just Helmy Enterprises (Alec can correct me if I am wrong). He had a basic board that eventually became 69Spot. One day I happened to notice that it said "moderator" under my name.

I asked my partner if he knew waht was going on, and apparently Alec had asked him if we wouldn't mind moderating the board.

Since his script wouldn't allow me to register the name "baddog" I became known as Str8guy over there. I guess I was a little brash to the people that I felt deserved it, and some people didn't like the straightforward attitude I had. To make a long story short, I tendered my resignation.

Eventually 69Spot became several different forums under the XBiz name. TDavid moderated the Speak Your Mind forum. When he left, Marsha (Princess) asked me if I would moderate that forum. I stayed there for a couple more years. It was fun while it lasted.

20. What MPGs do you own/run?
None currently. When I was with Mogul we opened 4 of them, GirlfriendVideos, VideoPosts, FreeMGP, and DailyMovieList.

Just as they started to become successful we suffered a major server crash, and did not bother restoring them because it took quite a while to get a replacement server, and all the data had been lost.

Lesson learned - backup your data.

22. Why do you come to GFY?
I am in the business of providing goods and services to adult webmasters. I can't think of any adult board that has more than GFY.

One thing I have learned over 5 years of posting on boards is that there are more lurkers than there are posters, so I know my audience is out there. I meet people at every major webmaster event I go to that have no board presence at all, yet they know who I am.

It is all about branding.

23. Talk about content lotto
ContentLotto was a great vehicle for advertising and branding to adult webmasters. In two years we had 7,000 webmasters playing scratcher games, and winning over $500,000 in prizes.

I don't care what any of the nay sayers can come up with, there was no better value for your advertising dollar.

When I left Mogul Networks, Content Lotto pretty much died. The one thing that CL did for me personally was to make me very well known, and I made a lot of great contacts.

It helped a lot when JenC and I decided to launch ContentShopper which is a searchable database of content providers.

As I had developed a relationship with some of the biggest content providers in the business it gave me a head start with who to approach to get listed in our database.

Webmasters are now able to come to ContentShopper and shop around at many content providers without having to register unless they decide to make a purchase. It is free to use, and a real time saver.

24. Talk about TGP submit scripts.
When I was with Mogul I found myself running about 50 different sites, submitting galleries to dozens of different TGPs. It was quite time consuming.

Mogul was a pretty good programmer, so he started to write a script for me to help make my job easier. Every time he would provide a new feature, I would ask for something else. Eventually we had a product that we could sell to webmasters, and we called it SiteMogul. It was the first auto submitter.

I could run the program 10 times a month and get a million uniques, with ease. Shortly afterwards other auto submits started coming out, but none of them really compared to the ease of using SiteMogul.

Unfortunately, that same server crash that killed the MGPs caused the demise of SiteMogul (it was server based), and since there was so much competition out there, we let them have it. If I still had access to that script I would TGP more frequently, simply because it was so easy to use.

Even sites that did not allow auto-submitters like TGSW, would allow SiteMogul . . . except for thehun. . . . he never did like that program for some reason.

25. How old were you when you got your first real job?
I was the eldest of what was quickly becoming a huge family (12 kids). Mom didn't work, and dad didn't make much, so it seemed that all of my clothes were coming from thrift shops.

By the time I hit the 6th grade I knew I needed to do something if I wanted to own anything decent, so I got a paper route. The first month I was named carrier of the month for doubling the number of subscribers on my route.

So, 6th grade is like 11 or 12?

I have taken it to Phoenix, and I take it to Webmaster Access when it is in LA, but I have found that my suits don't handle being rolled up into my saddlebags too well, so if I want to be able to dress up, I drive.
