I Officially Hate Hotmail

I have been using Hotmail for years. I use Outlook Express to read my Hotmail accounts, and up until recently it has worked fine. Now, I get errors in OE where it says access to my account is denied. When I then try to log in via the web to my Hotmail account, I am greeted with a nasty user authentication box.

It is almost unreadable at times. It is the worst login process I have seen for any service. This is beyond annoying. I think I am done with Hotmail forever and will stick with Gmail or even my Yahoo! account.



I can barely make out the characters. Imagine your grandparents trying to decipher this code. If anyone needs a Gmail account, email me and I'll send you one of my 50+ invites.

Google Maps Now Available in Beta

Google has introduced a new service called Google Maps. This is still in beta, but it looks poised to take on AOL's Mapquest and Microsoft's MapPoint (my favourite up until now). Google Maps used in conjuction with Google Local could be a very good thing!

The Giving (Apple) Tree

I don't own a single Apple product, but I'd like to. Help me out, and help yourself to a free Mac Mini or an iPod!
