Two days ago I was invited to register for a Gmail account. Again trailing the bandwagon. I had come accross several opportunities to win one by sending in my favorite photo or by telling a nice story. But I never really was interested. I'm still not. I use my mail offline, I don't use webmail.
But then there was a very easy way of getting an invite. I just had to tell Patrick why I was there and I would receive an invite, so why not. (I told him I'm from outerspace and don't not what gmail is, can you beleive he bought it :P). Fifteen minutes later I checked my mail and there was my invite. Joy!
I filled out the register form, with sken as usernamen and hit the enter button. I got an error, my username had to be at least six characters! So I settled stijn.dm.
Bad Gmail!
