iCal lets me set up all day appointments with the time marked free, so they don't show up during that day, or mess up my free time view. And then I can have the email sent out a specific time beforehand. I get by.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Why?
It's not personal, I toss all my cookies every night, with the intent that marketers would not have ongoing information about my surfing habits. I also don't load images in my email, which gives similar information, unless I want to reward the advertiser and actually click through.
I realize I'm more paranoid than your average bear, though.

Downloaded and installed an OS security update with required restart. My MacBook has been restarting for two hours. That's not normal, is it?

Hey, my phone has been rebooting for the past ten minutes. I don't know what recent changes have been made. I haven't installed anything today. I'm in the middle of downloading Chrome beta, but I can't even get in to stop that. It reboots as soon as the login page comes up.
FUCK.

I don't know if it's at all related, but Wil Wheaton is saying on G+ that he's having Chrome crap all over his day too. Don't know any details, so it's not terribly helpful, other than to say you might not be the only one experiencing this.

Chrome on his phone?
I got the phone up long enough to back up a couple directories and then did a factory reset. I'll spend the next couple days putting it back together, but at least it's not softbricked anymore.
I love when Gizmodo goes off the rails. I mean, I'm sure there's some truth to the assertions, etc, but I love how they lead with the click bait.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Do we have feelings about temporary or throwaway emails? I want to get rid of some things on Craigslist. Ridiculously I've used one of my address for Freecycle but that stuff can be just left outside and if it doesn't disappear, email the next contestant. I want cash monies for a few of these items.
