Gmail Account
Friday, August 27th, 2004
I finally got invited to Gmail. I had asked a friend to give me an invite if they ever had one available, so I got one today, and I hurried through the signup, filling in the blank fields and somehow forgetting to change my address name. So, I give you my new gmail address:
[address removed]
It’s easy to remember and makes sense at least. And sounds very official. But I don’t like the dot. Whatever — I’m not planning on using it much anyway. But, if you ever feel like sending me very large files, please send them there. Also feel free to send random crap, spam, ads, sign me up for lists, and throw the address around the internet with abandon.
But I swear to God, if you so much as utter my other official address anywhere on the internet, you will be my enemy for the rest of time. I have never recieved any spam at the address, and I’ve had it for two years. My secret? It’s not posted anywhere publicly. Ever. I intend to keep it that way.
So, for a recap, send junk to my gmail account, or my hotmail account (trisweb@hotmail.com), but send real mail to my real address which you will have to know me well to get. This system has worked for many years.
