Early to bed, Early to rize
One of my resolutions this year was to be “early to bed, early to rize.” Yes, I spelled it with a ‘z’, I don’t really know why. I haven’t really kept that resolution, but today it actually happened. The boss is doing a demo, and I wanted to make sure everything was together before he left – so I came in at 6:00 to meet him as he picked up the material thatI prepared yesterday. It seems like everything is hunky-dory, and I’m fulfilling a resolution to boot.
In other news, Gmail seems to only update every 10 or 15 minutes , which is plenty fast unless you are expecting something. So IM it ain’t. And speaking of Gmail, why haven’t I seen any invitations in, like, 10 years? I mean, comeon, I have a faithful public to service.
Otherwise, things are going well. FlicConf rocks my socks, and now it has a contact form too (thus the 10-15 minute delay in Gmail was discovered).

I feel your pain regarding Gmail. The thing I don’t like about the delay in sending/receiving messages is that often times I want to verify that an email I sent to myself (or in recent cases, to my girlfriend) got through okay. When you need to be sure a Powerpoint presentation or some other important document will be available to you later when you’re away from home, it really sucks to have to wait 10-15 minutes to verify. However, I do believe the numbers you gave are not quite set in stone. This morning I was able to verify in under a minute. There’s probably some anomalies in the system, given that it’s still beta.
Oh, and I also feel your pain regarding the invites. I have quite a few people who want some, and I’m itching to give them away. I think the system’s taken quite a toll after the last invite outbreak, though, so they’re probably wishing they could take some back ;)
