Gmail is Brilliant

I was writing an e-mail to my group mates about a project we are working on. Being the proactive and perhaps overeager beaver I am, I mentioned in the e-mail that I would attach a few docs.

I clicked send - only to realize I forgot to attach said documents.

To my surprise, however, Gmail handily displayed a message box: "Did you mean to attach files? You wrote "Attached is" in your message, but there are no files attached. Send anyway?"

How handy is that?! Completely saved me from making an ass of myself. Now go forth and send e-mails without fear of forgetting e-mail attachments - that is, if you have a Gmail account, in which case - Get to it!

Hyperbole and a Half

Gosh. I neither have the time nor the concentration to tell you how funny Allie's blog is. And I know I shouldn't pretend that I know her or link her blog or mention her name like I know her (since I don't). But I think it's worthwhile.

Just... See for yourself.

Thank you for the link, Phil.
