Orkut seems to be infected by an unknown virus. Anyone who logs in, gets his/her contacts spammed with scraps. You try to scrap them back to apologize, but, horrifyingly the virus blocks you from doing so! *GASP* . You can’t even message. Can’t message. Can’t scrap. OMG! Its like someone cut my phone line!! HELP! HELP!

[Update]
Now is not a good time to have e-mail notification of scraps enabled. Its several times worse if you are forwarding the mail to your phone as sms :-( . 30+ sms-es in half an hour and still counting.

[Update Update]
Ah. The issue seems to have been resolved as of now.

Thinking of dipping my legs into the Mash(up) Sea.

Since I hop from PC to PC, I can’t afford a desktop client (fyi, i prefer Thunderbird). So it really irritates me having to log into 5 different pages to check all my mail. Yup, this means a lot of mails goes unread.

I looked around for a webmail client that lets me manage multiple accounts.

Here are the ones I found:

1) IMP – Part of the Horde project

That was it. Just ONE. WTH! And that too, for this one, I had to install the whole Horde framework (which I am not at all prepared to do). Meanwhile, for squirrelmail, managing multiple accounts is still down there somewhere, in the wishlist.

Was wondering whether I should take the pain of writing something like this? Or a plugin for squirrelmail? I dont know.
