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.
unfortunately, depending on the email client your recipient uses, the mail can look like:
"From Theo Real Name [on behalf of Theodosia]"...
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...
In a world of tabbed browsers, does the "length of visit" stat mean anything about a website anymore?
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.
Jon, mine has been doing that too.

password question.
As more and more websites need passwords/usernames/prompt questions, and each site having different requirements for length/numbers/capitals/ID questions/etc, I find my getting old brain is having trouble remembering them all. Is there a safe application that can store them all? I could make a FileMaker Pro database, but worried that it's not secure enough. Currently, I don't have *any* of them written down. Thoughts? Advice?
Oh, I'm on a Mac.
