Hello Google Talk and Jabber types
Posted on Monday, February 4th, 2008 at 10:11am. #
If you connect to me on Google Talk, Jabber, or iChat – please note that my old @gmail.com address is deprecated for chatting over IM.
I’m now the eminently sensible (myfirstname) @ cridland.net, whether you’re using GTalk or MSN. Please do add me.
Further, http://james.cridland.net/contacting_me/ contains all my details, including Twitter (which I’m really very much back into these days).
(If you try sending me email to @gmail.com I’ll still get it, but you might get some moaning auto-reply at some point telling you to change over.)

Out of interest, what does this mean for your mail archive in your gmail account?
I’ve got 1.6GB of mail that I’ve accumulated over the past few years – and while I definitely don’t need the majority of the stuff there, it’s very handy being able to quickly track down items that I do want – from pretty much anywhere. And it’s the kind of thing that would dissuade me from changing providers.
Damn clever move, Google…
