| 00:12.33 | Leeds | anyone awake who wants a gmail (google mail) account? I've got some invitations I can give out... |
| 00:15.22 | Clyphox | I would love one :-) |
| 00:15.46 | Clyphox | how did you get the invite? |
| 00:16.42 | Leeds | a mate posted on a semi-closed mailing list a while ago, saying he had a couple of invites to give out... he's a very in-the-loop person, but I'm not sure where he originally got invited |
| 00:17.19 | Leeds | I was one of the first 2 to reply to him, so he invited me... he posted again today saying he had more invites to give out, and when he was over-subscribed, he pointed to the two people he'd invited last time |
| 00:17.47 | Leeds | I replied saying that he was still an elite user, because I'd never seen the "invite a friend" link appear - until it appeared this evening :-) |
| 00:18.00 | Leeds | so, I need an existing address to invite you at |
| 00:18.01 | Clyphox | haha |
| 00:19.08 | Leeds | I've got 3 invites, and I should really reserve 2 for people on that list... you're the lucky one here :-) |
| 00:19.36 | Clyphox | I am :-) has made my day |
| 00:19.44 | Leeds | check your mail :-) |
| 00:20.08 | Leeds | and mail me - username vmlinuz - when it's active... |
| 00:20.44 | Leeds | it's a really nice system... not quite nice enough to tempt me away from pine and IMAP, but a lot closer than any other webmail system I've seen... it's nice for reading mailing lists, particularly - nice threading interface |
| 00:21.02 | Clyphox | good stuff :-) |
| 00:22.44 | Clyphox | resudaed is going to hate me with envy har |
| 00:23.21 | Leeds | we watched an invite go for $112.50 on ebay the other day... |
| 00:23.49 | Clyphox | WOW! |
| 00:23.50 | JAV | what is the max size of a mail? |
| 00:23.55 | Leeds | and it's added you to my contact list, which is nice :-) |
| 00:23.59 | Leeds | JAV: 10Mb, I think |
| 00:24.48 | Clyphox | Wonder if it filters spam automagicly (as I would expect of the google team) |
| 00:25.11 | JAV | not bad for a webmail |
| 00:25.25 | Clyphox | humble 1G storage too |
| 00:25.42 | Clyphox | heh, its even got keyboard shortcuts |
| 00:25.50 | Leeds | Clyphox: it does, but I don't know how good it is... I think it learns |
| 00:25.56 | Leeds | the keyboard shortcuts are really cool |
| 00:26.21 | Leeds | whoa... |
| 00:26.36 | JAV | I tried google shortcuts before but it didn't work |
| 00:27.18 | Clyphox | yeah, damn slick! |
| 00:27.27 | Leeds | oh, and note the spell-chekcer! |
| 00:28.00 | Leeds | and it won't let you send HTML mail! :-) |
| 00:28.27 | Clyphox | now THAT! is a "feature" and a half! |
| 00:28.30 | Leeds | and it tells you off if you try to delete mail... |
| 00:28.35 | JAV | caring for win users :) |
| 00:29.05 | JAV | i'll stay with mutt |
| 00:29.06 | Leeds | hmm, or it used to |
| 00:29.40 | Leeds | as I say... it's not quite nice enough to make me give up my pine+IMAP, but it's not far off... if I could get their interface to talk to my webserver, I'd probably use it quite often |
| 00:31.00 | JAV | $ uprecords |

| 00:31.42 | JAV | power failed |
| 00:32.05 | Clyphox | depressing :-( |
| 00:32.50 | Leeds | my best personal uptime is about 170 days, and for a hosted box, well over a year |
| 00:33.31 | JAV | well, it reboots seamless, but i should buy the ups |
| 00:34.26 | JAV | ~$ uname -a |
| 00:34.27 | JAV | Linux homer 2.4.23 #3 vie dic 5 19:52:52 CET 2003 i686 unknown |
| 00:34.51 | JAV | it was working failless since then |
| 00:35.07 | JAV | (power fails apart) :) |
| 00:35.56 | Clyphox | I'm tempted to sign myself up for some spam to see how good it is |
| 00:36.43 | Leeds | yeah, I was tempted... but I just ended up on a couple of mailing lists |
| 00:37.20 | Clyphox | I'm going to try to resist it anyway, don't want to sacrifice this account if it doesn't filter well |
| 00:37.31 | Leeds | true |
| 00:37.49 | Leeds | on the other hand, it *should* filter well... and it is still meant to be a beta service... :-) |
| 00:37.54 | Clyphox | (even though I'm 99% certain it'll do a damn good job) |
| 00:38.13 | Clyphox | Google has this nice habit of doing things well |
| 00:39.03 | JAV | like orkut? :) |
| 00:39.47 | Leeds | I'm well into Orkut, but I still don't quite see the point of that sort of thing |
| 00:40.12 | Leeds | particularly when one of my 'friends' - an IRC friend - has John Kerry down as a friend of him, so I keep getting very chatty US political spam from him |
| 00:40.18 | JAV | geek DB |
| 00:40.40 | JAV | JK on orkut?? |
