more apple woes…

Monday, March 26th, 2007

what a boring, but semi-productive weekend…

i spent 5 hours on saturday dealing with applecare and the folks at the genius bar (see my earlier post). at least my data is backed up now. plus, i’m fully “online” and set to work on any available computer….thanks to gmail, gcalendar, greader, meebo, xdrive, gdocs, salesforce, delicious, flickr, feedburner, and my blog…

besides spending half the wknd on my mac, i worked, started our taxes, and mowed the lawn, etc. wow…exciting….

at least i watched a little madness (go hoyas!) and saw casino royale - daniel craig is going to be a great bond…

gmail…the honeymoon is over…

Friday, March 2nd, 2007

either that or the title should be “oh, the irony”

last week i switched from yahoo mail to gmail for my work email (i route my work email thru gmail to take advantage of the spam filtering and web access). being a long time yahoo person that was sort of a tough decision…

the main reason i switched? yahoo mail was putting too many good emails (three a week at least) in the spam folder. and, if that wasn’t bad enough, you can’t search spam…

however….that’s a whole lot better than being down for 12 plus hours like gmail was today for a subset of their user base. and, to top it off, i lost all my email for that period. maybe it will come back, maybe it won’t…

ughhh….gmail, i’ll give you one more chance…why? i understand what it’s like for companies to provide applications (free as well!) like this at scale…service interruptions do happen. also, it helps that i love the product - it’s fast, has great mobile access, and the threading is fantastic…so, please please, don’t disappoint…

ps - if you sent me an email today, please resend it…thanks!

update: seems like i’m starting to get email from earlier today…it’s trickling in..
