Hi Jessica,
I use Quickbooks and their payroll system. But it costs $39 a month. Other than that, though, it has worked really well.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oh, awesome. My Gmail account was just disabled.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
WTF, Cass?

Oh, no, Cass. I don't suppose you had a Google+ account, did you?

I did NOT have a G+ account. Mostly because I keep some distance between my name online and my rl name. Not that most people here don't know both, but it's not actively linked. So I never went near G+.
I filled out their, "Dude, wtf?" form but ... yeah. No idea.
The form said I should make sure I hadn't dissed their ToS but I really hadn't.
Ugh.

Okay, only down an hour. My mail is back. Though, wow, does not having access to my primary email put into relief how much I totally rely on email. More than my phone, I think. Clearly I need to add in some redundancy.
And, no, no idea what triggered them to disable my account but they did get it back within an hour of me contracting them on their form. So there's that.

Yeah, that's disturbing. And I really need to figure out a way to back up my mail.

Because books.

THIS. I use Gmail for EVERYTHING.
If you use Outlook, and it all loads into there, does that work? I just use it right on the web now.
I guess having a backup account is also necessary, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does everyone have a tracker or something installed on their smartphone/tablet in case of loss or theft? I realised that with the way Android Market works, I can install something remotely on mine to do that after if it's been stolen, if I'm fast enough.
What's recommended for the major phone OSes?

And I really need to figure out a way to back up my mail.
I've been meaning to try out Gmail Backup from gmail-backup.com. It looks like they try to make it easy. Setting up a local client like Outlook or Thunderbird to download messages via IMAP would work too, but it can get complicated.
