A couple months ago Google Mail (Gmail) went down for a large number of their account holders… as a result I saw a plethora of ‘how to backup Gmail’ posts on the usual technology blogs. While I think that that may have been a worthwhile posting topic for these blogs, it did show off the [...]

Last week I ended up having a conversation with a couple of women in a local coffee shop. This was brought about by their asking me about my NetBook (which I was feverishly using).
