Is Gmail doubling storage?

Given the date, I’m a little skeptical of everything I’m reading today. After reading about Kevin leaving In the Trenches I am on high alert for any kind of April Fool’s joke. But many people seem to think that Gmail is, in fact, upping the email storage. That’s cool with me. Guess I really didn’t need to create that second address, eh?

Speaking of that post from the other night, one of the reasons I joined those listener mailing lists, aside from the fact that I do listen to those podcasts, is that I’ve been giving some serious thought to creating a mail/discussion list for my other blog. The forum idea hasn’t really taken off, so I thought perhaps a list where every new post to the blog gets sent out to subscribers and they have the opportunity to discuss the posts or other topics in an email list might do the trick for helping create more of a community around that site. I’ve even toyed with the idea of moving over the current “announcement” email list of posts to this blog to that same format but I’m not sure how well that would work, because so many of you read the RSS feed, and wouldn’t want posts by email. Let me know if you disagree.

I also might have lied in that post. I think I am going to use the blog feature of Yahoo! 360 to move over the travel blog for Finnnegan the Gnomad. There are some limitations of the Gnomad service that don’t exist in Yahoo! 360 so perhaps as soon as this weekend I’ll be putting that together. Also, I checked and I do get to send out invites, so let me know if you want to try it out!

    The laptop hard drive, which was ordered after 3 PM yesterday, and which I was told by the Compaq help desk person to not expect until Monday, maybe even Tuesday, arrived before 9 o’clock this morning. I probably won’t even attempt to work on that until Monday anyway though, as I’m leaving at noon today…

  • Travel Tips – New Connector to LAX International Terminal

    Saw it for myself this past weekend, the walkway that connects Terminal 4 to the Tom Bradley International Terminal at LAX. It’s really less than a 10 minute walk, and is so, so much nicer than either taking the Qantas bus if you’re connecting from American to Qantas, or having to actually exit the airport,…

    I am officially a stud, according to Google: Search for “do that to me one more time i can never get enough of a man like you” Someone actually searched for that, and actually came here. I can only imagine the disappointment they must have felt. They probably looked like those Canadian pairs skaters. *L*…

    I said earlier that I was reserving judgement on the new Lockergnome layouts and things until after I’ve used them for awhile, and I intend to do just that. However, one thing that is irritating me (And today, everything is irritating me, so maybe it’s just my mood.) is that the RSS feed for the…

  • Tip of the Week

    This is actually the topic of my weekly email to the staff at work, something interesting that I discovered yesterday. One of my users was trying to send a mail list to one of our vendors. She had it saved as an Excel file with over 4000 records. The file was over 2MB in size….
