testing again
I posted on Venting Insanity that I started up a GMail account to help out with the beta testing. I figured it would be fun and look good on a resume.
Since this was the blog I used to do beta testing with Blogger when they made their new interface, I haven't used it since they moved out of the beta stage and set up their full release. But... wha better place to post about more beta testing trials then on something that was once a beta testing project, right? At least this way, this blog isn't just taking up space on my server. I didn't want to get rid of it, I like the idea of a test blog... so I'm going to use it again for this.
Plus, there's no easily locatable area to report bugs in the GMail system, so this will have to do to log incidents until such time as I can find a place to report them to the right people.
That's something I'm going to have to work on.
Also... you can't add e-mail addresses to your contacts easily. You have to do it manually, like write the address on a paper and then type it into the address book. Outlook has an option where you can right-click on the address and select "Add to Contacts". Yahoo! Mail has an option that, if you reply to the person, you can add that address to your contact list by checking the little box next to their address.
I don't like having to do things the hard way. Yes, I'm lazy. :P
Anyway, I was just exploring the interface the other day. The contact list thing is the only problem I've had so far. Everything else seems to work. Of course, with 1 Gig worth of storage space, I don't know if I can fill that up and see what happens. I also want to play around with attachments.
That will come in the future.
