However all good things must come to an end, so after collecting my GCSE results a few weeks back (which I never got round to blogging about), and confirming my place in the Sixth Form, I’ve now started!

I’m still finding it weird having all these free periods though, dotted all over the place, but ‘eh who’s complaining? It’s more time for chatting and messing about, plus it means I can do some homework to save time at home (not that I’ve done any in school yet).

It’s only early days so things could change but so far it’s so good and I’m enjoying it.

Several years back Google had to stop people from the UK registering an email address @gmail.com because the word “gmail” was trademarked to another company. Now Google has made signing up to Gmail public rather than invitation based they’ve decided to put a link on the UK Google Homepage. The only problem is when you start clicking through you can register an email address @gmail.com rather than @googlemail.com, which it should be. However people clicking the signup link from within Gmail will have to register an @googlemail.com address. I’m not complaining!

UPDATE (19 Dec 2009): This article is extremely out of date but you can still claim an @gmail.com address by going to www.gmail.com and clicking sign up via a proxy such as www.hidemyass.com.
