cookie wars
apparently google, in it's infinite wisdom, does not have the capacity to merge blogger, blogspot, and google accounts correctly, forcing people who are long time users like me to choose between continuing a blog here or using gmail... for this reason, i very rarely use gmail...
i logged in early this week and the gmail cookie superceded the blogger cookie, so i had to jump through hoops to get logged in here again and did not have time to jump until this morning (and didn't really have time this morning, unless i gave up the fun i intended, which i did... google owes me fun now...
apparently, the fix is deleting cookies and cache and all that techno stuff every time... no going to happen, it takes too much time and defeats the purpose of auto-logging in...
i clicked on "help" links (i know, fool) and after an hour and a half, found no way to contact anyone other than through google groups... SPAM central, so there's no way i am putting an email address in that place... so i left my telephone number and this blog address and we shall see if anyone at google/blogger/blogspot cares about one small blogger who's been with them for years...
so i am looking at other site options, again, for blogging... or... i a looking at eliminating gmail from my email options... either way, it's inconventient and leaves me with a bad taste for google and blogger and blogspot... there's always diaryland (where i visited again, ever so briefly, this week for the first time in many months) or myspace (where some of you comment so sweetly, i gush) or... a few dozen other sites i already have logins for...
so that's partly where i've been...
i'll catch up on the rest of the week as soon as i find time... five entries or so will pop up suddenly as if they were always there (shhhh, don't tell posterity)... it's been fun and busy around here, which is why i do not want to jump through google hoops because i am spending less time online, not more...
i hope life has been fun for you this week, or at least not too annoying or painful, and you remember that you choose what to focus on every moment you are conscious... just because most humans are fools and choose to focus on the negatives and downbeats does not mean we have to be... so choose wisely, choose well, choose fun...
i'm gonna go brush my teeth and start my day now... thank you for leaving me a few words, you know how much your caring to do that means to me (and if you don't no worries, i'm bound to tell you again any day now in my own pathetically adorable snarky irreverently seriously sincerely goofy emo way, complete with semi-obscure references)... love you, honestly...

i thot you could use teh gmail account, then move (migrate) your blogspot into it.
you & your technical difficulties, never ending... permanent impermanence, woooo, i'm seeing purple behind the green ducky.
time for a bath.
yeah, but that forces me to use gmail to check the mail that tells me you left me a comment and I'd rather use my mail than have to check two different places for mail... that's why i don't use any web based mail... anyway, it's rarely a problem cuz i rarely use gmail and this is one of the reasons i don't use it more often... if don't like any company that uses cookies to try to change the way i surf or whatever... there's no reason for gmail cookies to override blogger cookies except to force someone to use gmail... blah blah blah and all that jazz...
anyway, i obviously push too many buttons and play with stuff too much so i get technical difficulteeeze... i love to teeeze, after all...
gonna check meetup now to see if i'm going anywhere tonight...
laterz
diversity can be a nightmare
too many e-mail accounts
too many blogs
too many places to be
1 e-mail for personal stuff
1 e-mail for business/work related
1 e-mail for blog/surfing/spam?
is about my limit.
I managed to avoid getting entangled with G-mail, though by all accounts I was told it was meant to be pretty cooool.
You could try same names with different passwords, or same passwords for different names.
But I do avoid too many places that require loggins: myspace, etc
Otherwise you have to remember to log out or close ...
and loggin again to visit other sites
Still if you visit your favourites in 'clusters' - no problems.
'PIN Codes' Of The Immune System Can Be Hacked
I only have 723 emails addresses now, cuz 1486 are no longer active...
ummm, yeah...
today was going to be fun at an all-day outdoor concert... it was a beautiful day for it too... instead, i followed my roommates to a classical concert, then to pizza, then ices, then home...
sure, i could go out now, but...
meanwhile, as long as i don't log out of blogger and don't use gmail, i should be fine since i deleted all the google cookies... gmail is very neat, simple and fast, but i haven't needed it as i seldom use email in the first place and when i do i use the computer and a pop server...
since starting to use to this laptop i haven;t used the desktop and therefore, i haven't checked any of my other emails so they are probably all bouncing... just my main personal one comes in here so far cuz i don't want to clog it up with tons of SPAM that the other email addresses get...
i'm probably missing some personal mails as my primary private personal email isn't being checked at the moment...
anyway...
it was interesting that Anonymous, renamed this post and linked it here... wonder if that's what you mean to do... if so, wonder why...
and please don't hack, it's not nice :)
