Email me back to my inbox

Ack! Again I spend way too much time not blogging and doing other things, I can explain this time though, really! Um… I’ve been busy doing stuff. Yeah, that’s it stuff. I need to get back into the habit of blogging every other day (when did I do that???).

So I signed up at Viddler.com after listening to Leo Laporte (along with the lovely Amber Mac) do an interview with the founder. It’s a real interesting twist on commenting on videos, letting you set your comment to a certain spot in the video stream. I thought I was safe from spammers in a startup as I haven’t had spam from any other startup web company yet, but apparently there are a few people out there who can’t help themselves. I got a message from “Rita”, well that’s what she calls herself, saying that she thinks we can “click” and she said “email me back to my inbox so that i can send you my picture for you to know who i am through my email address ” (sic). I don’t know where this can go, I usually don’t “click” with people who don’t have a firm grasp of the English language, which is why “she” will be getting an email from a throwaway address, hooray for Gmail!

I’m still really enjoying my new phone, it’s just so cool! I’m glad I finally decided to get a PDA phone, there’s just so much that I wish I had a long time ago in theis phone.

  1. Haha, gmail’s awesome, isn’t it?

    Hey, that’s a really cool widget on your sidebar (the Meebo widget). Your blog is a wordpress.com blog—how were you able to put the code for the widget in your sidebar and get it to work?

  2. Go to your dashboard, click on Presentation then Widgets and there should be a Meebo widget in the list. It was simple to set up.
