If anyone out there is like me, you spend your ENTIRE life in a Gmail web page. Today my life has come to an end. I tried to access my mail at my home office. For some stupid reason the Internet has been flakey for a while now - no luck. I power cycle my Netgear router and cable modem - still no luck. What the hell. I'm about to access my web server and other sites ... but no Gmail?? What in god's name is going on? It's hard to believe but as I type this its true - Gmail is down. May god have mercy on all of us and pray that the great Google technicians get it back up and running quickly. Until then I guess I'll have to find something else to do with my life.

It's almost 4am. I can't sleep. Why? Well for one reason all I can hear is my stupid desktop grinding away on the hard drive. I just can't stand this. What is running? I keep my startup items very clean, no un-needed junk! Well maybe I forgot to mention I'm running Vista. Besides user access control asking a stupid question every 5 minutes, search indexing has to be next on my list of why I hate Vista.
Want to turn it off? Go to control panel and unfortunately you won't see a 'Click here to turn it off'. Its kinda weird you goto Indexing options, then hit modify and through a weird interface you have to uncheck what folders you want to be searched. Anyway I swear I did this but task manager still had the stupid indexing program running.
So I clicked on start then typed in services.msc , hit enter. Find the Windows Search service, right click hit properties then stop, then disable that pain in the @$$ service. Maybe now I can sleep.
