Just spent the evening catching up with Robin. I haven’t stopped and had a proper conversation with him for a few weeks now. Over the past few weeks we’ve just exchanged a quick hello when we’d seen each other, so this evening was good. Most of the evening was spent in the local snooker hall, although I’m not sure Robin was concentrating as I won five frames to none. Finished off the evening at Nandos in Hounslow East, with a hearty meal of chicken, corn and rice.
On a completely separate note, I’ve been playing with GMail recently as I got an invite a week or so ago and decided to give it a try. As webmail services go, I think this has to be one of the best. The interface is clean and quick, it has a decent contacts facility, and the feature of having one of the most effective search engines keep track of your email for you seems very useful. Now I know there have been concerns raised about privacy, so I’m still a little cautious, but then what’s stopping other webmail services handing over your precious data to some government agency after being served the appropriate paperwork? From past performance I think I trust Google more than I trust Microsoft or Yahoo anyway. We’ll see I guess…
Now all I need to do is avoid starting up Links 2003 as otherwise I won’t go to bed until quite late! (How sad is it that I appear to be addicted to computer golf!?)
