Alternate email

[pauraque_bk]

And now Semagic doesn't work either. This is fantastic.

Anyway, I just realized I do have an extra email address, since I use YM: pauraqueo at spaaaaamblocker yahoo.com

And Trillian even alerts me when I have new mail, which is awfully nice of it. (I expect Trillian to stop working any minute now.) But anyway, since that's web mail, I'll be able to get it at work and such.


[ETA: I thought I would do a little experiment and see how long it would take a brand new email address to receive spam after I posted it unspamblocked on the internet. It took seven minutes.]

Want a virtual Margarita? I have a glassful to spare.

Curse this pesky technology that complicates our lives! I was a bit aghast when Trillian stopped working on me, earlier today, but then that was due to the complete lack of contact with the internet I was having at the time. It's all better now.

None of it has anything to do with the programs themselves. This computer's registry is corrupted.

Urgh. Nasty. I guess that's almost certainly going to be rebuild territory. :-(

My dad is getting my brother a new computer as a graduation present, and my brother lives in my house, so that should resolve it!

But reformatting hard drives is my favorite pastime!

Heh :-) Brothers do come in handy sometimes...

If you have any interest in a Gmail account, I have more invites than I know what to do with.

To be honest, I don't think posting that address online made much difference - I think it's fair to say definitively that Yahoo sells their email addresses, so you would've got spam anyway. I have an obscure YM-related email, which I have never used for anything ever, and it gets spammed now and then too.

Good luck with your actual email - there's nothing more frustrating. :(

So pauraqueo rhymes with Pinocchio, right?

[pauraque]

It probably should!

Hope your computer situation improves soon. Busted computers are a massive pain.

Just added you. Hello. :)

[pauraque]

Thanks. And hello! Your name is familiar to me, but I can't think of where we've met...

It's probably because I've been lurking for awhile and did comment a few times. I just take forever getting around to adding people. ^^
