Lycos: We're first with a gigabyte of e-mail

Lycos announced Tuesday that it is upgrading its service in the United Kingdom to give consumers 1GB of e-mail storage. But unlike some rival services being developed, the Lycos service is not free. Users will have to pay a monthly fee of 3.40 pounds ($6.01).

Whatever Dude! Spymac's got ya beat by a good month!!
Spymac Launches The Internet's First Free 1 Gigabyte Email Service
04/05/2004 00:15 | By The Spymac Team
One gigabyte of storage is available to all Spymac Mail accounts, effective today, Monday April 5, 2004.

Spymac
agrees with the staff at Google that a 1 GB e-mail account makes sense. Millions of people rely on easy access to mail and depend on their email service to not indiscriminately delete important mail. Spymac Mail offers several advantages over other free Internet-based email. In addition to the one-gigabyte storage increase, Spymac Mail also offers both POP3 and Webmail access to the email accounts. For those wondering why on earth they would need one gigabyte for POP3 mail, don’t despair; because IMAP mail capabilities are under development and will be available very soon. Spymac Mail does not include keyword scanning for search and has no advertising.

Spymac
welcomes email accounts from users 13 years old and up on any operating system. Sign up for your free account today by clicking here.

Hey Lycos, did ya see that little line that says "Sign up for your free account"... did ya? Spymac was first. And free. So just get off your high horse and stop making a fool of yourself!

Swinger!

I went swing dancing tonight! yea! I had a lot of fun, even if I did seem like a big uncordinated first time dancer. Showed up in time for some basic instructions, which were above my level of swing dance compitance, but were good none-the-less. I wound up learing way too much! Talk about information overload! Got to dance with a couple girls that I came with and a couple complete strangers too. The girl with the big fance diamond ring on her married finger didn't even have her guy kick the crap out of me! ;) I wanna go again! But its kinda hard as the guy should lead the dancing and I don't really know that much yet, so I'm not much of a leader. My friends were kind to me though and gave me lots of help, pointers and encouragement. :)

Ouch!


Man, reality sure can bite sometimes!

A real webpage

I've been thinking about getting a "real" webpage. You know something like inabeanpod.com. Well, inabeanpod.com has been my top choice for quite sometime, as "inabeanpod" is me in the online world. But, I don't like how it works for email address... @inabeanpod.com... I guess I could be inabeanpod@inabeanpod.com, but that seems silly to me. Maybe, me@inabeanpod.com. Na, don't like it either. Sooo... I started trying to think of something else, some better domain name to pick. Right now I'm thinking: thegaudyorange.com. It seems to work better for email... inabeanpod@thegaudyorange.com or charlie@thegaudyorange.com. Do you have any ideas? If so, leave them as a comment.

I think I really want it to start with "the" though.

Last Sunday Night (May 9th)

Last Sunday Night I went to an alternative church with a friend of mine. It's in Westport in an old catherdral. Oh yeah, the church is called Jacob's Well. It seemed like a really cool church! Don Chaffer of Waterdeep fame spoke, how cool is that?! Needless to say I was impressed. You can listen to Don's message, the same one I got to hear live, by clicking right here. So, if you are in KC and you want to go to a church where you don't have to pretend to be someone you aren't, chuck out Jacob's Well.

Jewish Proverb

"If God lived on earth, people would break his windows."
Oh God did live on earth, and we did more than break his windows. Sure he could have stopped us, but he loved us way too much!
For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
John 3:16-17 NRSV
