Hotmail IS for losers!

If anybody is reading this, knows me and has been trying to get in touch with me via my hotmail address, note that it the account was closed down in error by hotmail yesterday at about 16.30 GMT and hasn’t been reinstated yet. In fact, I don’t know if it will be reinstated at all. And if it is i don't know whether the contents – including my address book, archive messages and any messages sent to me since yesterday – will still be there. Popular wisdom – or at least that of those who were sympathising and trading competitive Hotmail horror stories in Dick Mack’s last night – suggests not. This is a bit of an annoyance – to put it mildly.

On the plus side, this trip was all about getting away from the tecno-heavy, always-on modern world and back to something simpler, more real and more rewarding. So, a silver cloud to every filthy, black, dirty lining.
