...bollocks

just had an email from beeb.net that they're cancelling all beeb.net services, including email, from 30th June. Which means I have to get a new email, then go through every possible place my email is registered and change it.

Vaguely worried that this may interfere slightly with any job stuff (there's a long term one going on) or other subscriptions I have, not to mention the various places I get newsletters and thus offers from...

Yes, this may sound like whining to others, but I've had my current email for over seven years. dammit.

further email gripes

...bollocks.

It looks like someone's already nabbed burntcopper as a gmail/googlemail addy. Which has me scratching my head, since it's *never* taken as a username. Seriously. Now I bloody need to find something that's not taken, I can remember easily and is easy to use over the phone. Which was half the point of always using snapdragon@beeb.net (ah, the halcyon early days of t'internet when nobody had taken the common usernames yet...). The only other people I can find who even use burntcopper are an exhibition services company in Islington who seem to have registered it as a ltd company (but have no web presence), and someone on a single forum who seems to originate in Orlando about three years ago...

The only other thing I can really think of is burntozone, but I can't think how easy that is to spell over the phone. Not to mention it also can be read as 'burn to zone'

Don't want to use my burntcopper.com addresses because I have no idea how reliable that is for webmail. And it already bloody gets spammed as it is. Maybe I should try trialling that for the next couple of days and see how it works. Just vaguely worried if I ever forget to renew it/site problems and have no back-up email addresses.

Oh well. registered burntozone@googlemail.com as emergency, will set up the burntcopper.com addys later.

Also, my period's just started. For, er, all of two seconds. Which is so much for the win with a convention this weekend...

:headdesk:

oh dear lord. someone shoot me.

I actually felt *guilt* over de-friending someone. usual reasons - realised I was skimming over their entries and never stopping to read them anymore, so might as well trim a bit.

But seriously. GUILT?
