I have at least 4 gmail accounts. I usually typed something different as a name and a "real" email address, but I don't know if that's strictly needed.
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have two -- one for Theodosia and one for the Real Name, which I can give out to possible employers, job search sites and whatnot. I get it all forwarded to Theodosia.
Gmail even lets you change the From in your replies so you don't have to change accounts.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
unfortunately, depending on the email client your recipient uses, the mail can look like:
"From Theo Real Name [on behalf of Theodosia]"...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sort of random conceptual tech-related question:
In a world of tabbed browsers, does the "length of visit" stat mean anything about a website anymore? I mean, I've had things open in tabs for hours without actually looking at them...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Not really. You can measure stickiness much better by how much people did while there - lots of page views within the site from the same visitor, and/or lots of activity on a web app. But even in pre-tab days, simply not leaving the site was a pretty useless metric, since if they just stayed on the landing page it often meant that you were stuck in a background window.

Thanks, that's what I was thinking, when someone gave me that stat like it meant anything.

Why would gmail forget all the senders' addresses from whom I want images shown?
Ouch, that grammar hurt.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
