new email address

Normally, I try to fill the space this blog accords me with accounts of curious events and incidents that are out of the ordinary. Today, in contrast, I have something rather prosaic to share. My old email account has been disabled. Since this happened a good two years after I left the place that gave me this address in the first place, I have not much reason to complain.

I have all reason to be sad, though. The old address had been with me for so long that I've come to be associate with it. This is all the more true for various commercial and scientific sites that use this address to send me infomation. It was with horrified apprehension that I turned my computer on tonight to set the records straight wherever it was necessary.

To my great surprise and satisfaction, changing email addresses never took more than a few clicks and ten minutes after I started, a handful of airlines, banks and mailing lists knew the new data. Two mass mails were supposed to distribute the information among my friends. For those I missed to add to the mails—a heartfelt sorry goes to you—here you are: Docandreas now lives at gmail. You'll figure out how to make this work. The address-collecting search-bot hopefully won't, and my account will stay clean.
