*slow unfolding of claws*

You know you've seen it, if you have a cat. When they're pissed and they have their claws dug in, but you're the h00man, and there's a Mexican standoff of teeth versus size, the way the cat decides to stand down, and slowly retracts it's claws out of your flesh, glaring at you with the word bubble "It's not over h00man, gooshyfud now or I kill you later" over it's head?

Yeah, that's what the Season is doing.

I can feel the claws unfolding from my tender bits. It's still got a hold on, I will be working Saturday, but I got out of working tonight (after foolishly volunteering) and will have some time to myself, AND the brainpower to get some shit done that's been waiting.

So, I have some administrativ-ia to handle, ok more like stuff to brain dump. S'ok, you can pass by and I might LJ cut, we'll see how long it gets *grins*

( OK, decided to )

it's time for me to go find lunch. More later if I Get the chance.

Hrm.

Question, for the geeks, especially those using Gmail.

I'm considering transitioning my Yahoo mail account, to Gmail. it would do two things - one, ditch 99% of the spam I'm getting, despite Yahoo's great spam filter (which I download to my computer anyway, because it catches too much, and then use the much more intuitive Thunderbird filters) and two, get me away from Yahoo, which is ever increasingly being censorist and annoying. I'm not liking what I'm seeing them do, I'm not liking some of the dumbing down, and I'm ESPECIALLY not liking paying for the privledge of downloading my email via POP. Gmail does all that, and more. More people seem to be on it, more people USE it on me, and I would also be able to start really divvying my work and home lifes, as I have My.i.name at Gmail dot com, and LJ name at gmail dot com. I would need to keep Yahoo active until I'd changed everything, and my renew date is upcoming.

So I'm going to pay the bastards for this year. But in that year, I'm going to transition, by moving all the mailing lists as they come in, and any other emails I get, like renewals that only come once a year, that kind of crap.

My question to you geeks - is this wise? Yahoo has been very stable, and Gmail has been, from what I hear, flakey. Both have web interface, but that doesn't matter since I got the Laptop. (which I love more very passing day, as I watch my "acquired" Tudors from bed. Yay.) and Gmail is the better animal for the conversations, built in chat, and let's not forget free.

Ok thanks. I really should get some work done....
