Gmail, Finally.
Now I can finally say I have gmail. I didn’t get the invite I had organized over IRC, but Drew did invite me. My new email is ctbarna@gmail.com. I’d like to see how it handles spam, like the many other people that have gotten theirs and posted it to their blogs. At first I was a little disappointed by the service because it failed to work with my APT installed version of Firefox 0.8, but I overcame it by downloading directly from the mozilla website. It’s a great service, the logo is especially fine. I think they could have cut down on the javascript though, it makes the site act cool, but it is ever so annoying.

p>Update: Oh yeah, Drew and I were talking about selling gmail invites on eBay today, well I guess people have beaten us to the idea. Pretty amazing that somebody has bid $56 on something that they could get for free.
