How best to spend time productively?

While we twiddle our thumbs.

With Google presumably rolling out a new algo, most of us have a lot of time on our hands. I was wondering what is the best and most productive way to spend our time while we twiddle our thumbs?

Although I am a little guilty of thumb twiddling there are many things that just won't go out of style no matter what.

Getting more link exchanges.
Adding more content.
Submitting to more directories.

Another good thing you could do is learn....

How about learning CSS, PHP, MySQL, Linux, Apache, ....

Well, I don't know about you folks, but in the past two weeks I have

1. Rolled out a completely redesigned site using CSS, reducing code bloat by at least 200% and decreasing load times by an equal amount

2. Added about 30 pages of new relevant content

3. Established 25-30 new inbound links

I will continue to work on this as I learn patience.

I spent a few hours helping a friend to write to every web site that has printed his email address on screen. Over the years more and more spam is arriving. Mailwasher helps a lot, but he would like it to not be sent in the first place.

We asked each site that has the email address on screen to remove it from their pages and replace it with either: a javscript-written version that cannot (currently) be spidered, or else replace it with a link to his "Contact Me" page which has an email form for users to fill in and submit as well as a clickable email link that is javascript-written itself.

Hope that fixes it. Will evaluate at the end of the year to see if spam is reduced.
