burntcopper...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...
