Spam, spam, spam

Woohoo! LiveJournal spam! My Gmail Inbox had 365 unread messages this morning, nearly all of them LiveJournal support notifications, some still from June, all sent in the past 12 hour or so. (And some really old comment notifications, too.)

Incidentally, I do seem to be using my Gmail account a bit more than I had originally planned; it's growing on me.

I think something on Verizon (we have their DSL service at home) is making Thunderbird choke on sending emails, and Gmail is the next most convenient interface, so I've defaulted to it quite a bit. Plus, I really really really like the search feature because I can just save all the network security emails I get for work and then find them quickly if I have to see if we've gotten any correspondence about certain students. So it's growing on me too.

I've moved all my work stuff to it as the virus riddled emails are effecting the work server I'd been using to the point it was unusable. The threading/conversations make it more manageable from a user support point of view. I'm really enjoying it despite initial doubts.
