Check For Getting Stuff Offline Too

Getting stuff online could be the main goal, but you might find opportunities in the real world too.

I visited a surplus auction and got a bunch of free books.  The books might be a little dated, but they still contain some important information.

The auction was a government auction and they had lots of interesting items.  You might be surprised to see what you can get at gov auctions.  The pricing at the auctions might also be right.  Very low prices for technology items might help you with upgrading your tech needs.

So the tech books that I picked up were the following:

Asp.net 2.0 with VB 2005 

Java Network Programming

Core Java 1.1

Learning the Korn Shell

Ajax with Asp.net

Pro Visual Studio 2005 Team System

Random Phone Numbers

You might turn on your cell phone and you might get random phone calls that you don't recognize.  What do you do when you see those numbers pop up on your smartphone screen?  Are you brave enough to answer the calls?

What do you think about getting the wrong number phone calls?  Are you tired of listening to those wrong number phone dials?  Some might start looking around for apps that help block the unwanted phone calls.  

Another solution for the phone calls that you don't recognize could be letting the phone calls just go to voicemail.  The voicemail service on your smartphone is a great way for you to continue with your day while not immediately getting interrupted.  You can always playback the voicemail message and then make your decisions.  It is amazing how many phone calls can be bogus.  

The wrong phone number calls might become too much.  You never know what the people were doing that had your phone number before you.  Getting lots of unwanted phone calls might make you consider switching your phone number.  Some of the phone companies like sprint make it very easy to change your phone number.  They do have limits for how many times you can change your number, but it is a good tool.

Another option for those unwanted calls is blocking the number.  If the same numbers keep on calling, you might want to check if your phone service has a call number blocking option.  

One more option to consider is going online to do a web search.  You can type in those phone numbers that pop up from the area codes and numbers that you don't know to see who is calling.  You might find an online phone number listing or not.  

Getting unwanted calls might not be your idea of fun, but who says it has to be a downer?  What if you flipped it on its head and used it as a way to help build up your skills?  Why not practice your number typing skills with the phone numbers that you don't recognize.  It could be a great way to get better with your number typing on the keyboard and if you have your own websites, it might even generate some income.  You might not be the only one getting those phone calls with the idea of looking up the phone numbers.  Your typing practice might lead to someone landing on one of your webpages where the phone numbers are listed.

Just a few different ideas about the phone numbers that pop up on your smartphone while you are trying to get other things accomplished.  typing numbers can be fun.  You could also use your typing to practice your math skills.  Just generate lots of numbers and type them into your websites.  You could improve your number typing and be on your way to a faster typing speed.  Make sure that you use google adsense and other online passive income generators on your pages.
