It never fails! Register at a job site, or try to get your resume out as much as possible and then just watch the number of “Work from Home” offers and “Great financial opportunity” spams come rolling in, including some that try to hide as legit responses to your resume. But they’re pretty easy to find anyway, usually they involve either responding to a yahoo address for more information about their company, or mailing a check to a PO Box in California for “job hunting services”. Yeah well, given that you don’t have your own email domain, nor a physical address, I’m not dumb enough to think you actually have anything to offer me. 🙂

    Just noting this here so I can find it later. Tutorial: Streaming Internet Radio on your Pocket PC An interesting idea, no doubt.
