It’s been an interesting Thursday. I managed to slip home on break today and work on a couple of computer things. I have this Yahoo! e-mail account that I never use but it’s locked into my Flickr Pro account which hosts all of my photos (unlimited, $25 a year…). I figured it would be a good throw-away account for sites that need an e-mail. Not thinking, I decided to port my g-mail contacts list over to it. Stupid!
The conversion routine gave me the option of not e-mailing my contacts regarding the process, but they lied and sent a spam email to each contact. If I didn’t need my Flickr account I would have terminated all Yahoo! association immediately! I’ve had a great working relationship with Yahoo! and their API’s for more than ten years now. This move pissed me off! If you have a Yahoo! e-mail, dump it!
I’ve since sent Please delete, don’t open! e-mails to all of my contacts.
On another note, I was sitting in the hot-tub with Steph tonight and I was teasing her about Obama Care taking care of her when she’s old. She said something about this making her want to throw up!
I told her acid-reflex should be covered and she said “You mean asshole reflex?” Apologies to my liberal friends, you know who you are :-)
