It was the only way.

Jeremy Hardy used to think a mosquito was a tiny place of Muslim worship.

Anything to prevent an increase in the mosquito population is acceptable, Tim.

A drop of olive oil or similar on the surface of any still water will be a barrier to the mosquitos laying eggs and or emerging as the oil will flatten out to one molecule thick on the surface, which is enough to be a barrier. I was told this, don't know if it works.

Want to know the most overlooked metric in business? Return on effort. Everyone's obsessed with revenue targets and growth rates. But after years as a SaaS operator, I've learned something counterintuitive: The highest ROI often comes from the smallest effort applied to the right place. Let me explain... Mark talks about how soon there will be more AI agents than people. And everyone can create their own AI assistant. While the tech world debates if he's right, I'm already seeing this play out in real businesses today. Take CS for example. Traditional wisdom says to keep hiring as you grow. More customers = more support staff. But now, with AI, a single support person can handle dramatically more customers by letting AI agents handle the routine questions. Here's what has worked for our firms: > AI agents handling basic customer questions (aka 'how to') > Automated initial lead screening > Basic process automation for admin tasks The beauty? These tools are now accessible to even the smallest businesses. But here's where most people get it wrong... They try to automate everything at once. Or they overcomplicate their tech stack chasing marginal gains. The real wins come from identifying your highest-friction, lowest-value tasks and eliminating them first. It's not about fully automating your whole business. It's about using available tools to maximize return on (human) effort. Want to know more about building lean micro SaaS businesses?

a small quantity (just a few drops) of washing up liquid will break the surface tension and they will drown.

Really thought you were going to nail the first attempt..

Oh, great. Just wait for the giant sewer mosquitoes to breed now. You fool.
