I just got some random guy calling me about my site, but I couldn’t understand a word he said. He was trying to do some promotional thing for me, but the only words I heard from him were…
> Hi, is this Jeff?
…
> eh, I don’t want to design, we do promotional work
And of that, I could barely understand it.
My dad told me the same guy had called me in the past wanting to talk to me, but I had been gone when he called.
I think I’m gonna pay for my info to be taken off the whois data. I don’t play well with people calling me on the phone.

It was from Topeka, Kansas, I think.
Oh, and about ads; I think I may use this:

I have been called from Media Temple once (which really amazed and surprised me, it was only for a support ticket and they CALLED me to notify that it has been resolved). But other than that, no ☹

I wouldn’t like a call from my host. I’d rather an email. I hate phones.

It’s nice to think that someone is randomly interested in your site.
I quite like strange phone calls, you can always hang up 😃

Actually funny story, I got a call from a design company interested in my services not long ago. And strange thing was I had taken my old site off the web a long time before that(due to my embarrassing old school flash site attempt :sigh:).
So I was weird to hear her say that she had looked at your site and really liked my style, i was like thanks but i dont actually have my site up anymore, she then explained that she visted my home page [soultydesign.com](http://soultydesign.com) and then she saw the coming soon splash so she google my name (i assume ‘soultydesign’) and she came up with my old site on a old isp webspace i had been using years ago, haha :lol:
i laughed when she told me, i go to her thats pretty sneaky and she laughed.
In the end I couldn’t accept the job due to too much on at the current time but mentioned to her to email me her details so we can keep in touch 😉
:: actually and another weird thing is that i can’t seem to find my old address via google now… :huh:
edit:: haha, found it!, a blast from the past!

weird story, my old website (which was flash but not great) got me a job one time, and I don’t mean an interview but an actual job
recruitment company called me up and asked if I’d be interested being a contract developer for Sky TV. I said sure
an hour later they called me back and said “Fine, you start tomorrow”. I asked how about an interview they said they’d seen my site and decided an interview wasn’t necessary. Hired on the spot.
I was there almost 5 months on contract, good job :thumb:
