For a completely ridiculous reason, sorry.
So some of you may have noticed I haven’t been replying to emails. This is because before I left for Kenya, I decided to upgrade my free Google Apps email account to the $50/year “Premier” version, which buys me telephone support among other things, which I figured might be useful if I have email problems in Kenya. Anyway, a year passed, and I let the Premier features expire since I never used them.
Due to a Google bug, my email totally went berserk and I couldn’t access it at all, and I couldn’t even access the settings for my emails, AND since I no longer was paying for phone support, no one would help me. So I started posting on the Google forum looking for help, and I made the news, which in turn may well have forced Google to hurry up and fix my email. Quite an ordel for something terribly unexciting. Also a longwinded excuse for not replying to emails. For anyone who’s interested or just amused, here’s the article on the Register (UK):
