No, this is not about my job.<br><br>This is about my web sites, email, and my digital life. &nbsp;For years, I have had my domain (duckland.org) and my email address there (duck), and I am not going to give those up. &nbsp;I have collected a few others domains over the years, and the family has started asking for their own as well. &nbsp;<br><br>Now, if you know me at all, you know that for most of my professional career, I have been in Unix operations, specifically Linux. &nbsp;It is what I do. &nbsp;But, I am wondering if it is time for me to 'outsource' one of the more difficult parts of keeping my own domain: email. &nbsp;Recently, I have gone back to not hosting my email due to various reasons, and went back to <b>GMail</b>. &nbsp;In the years since I left it, it has gotten much better UI for someone who likes keyboards over mice, and the Android clients are very nice. &nbsp;Plus, the addition of&nbsp;<b>Google Now&nbsp;</b>in the Chrome browser has been very handy.&nbsp;<br><br>Add to the fact I still cannot find a good calendar solution which I can host which will work seamlessly across my computers (home and work), tablets, and cell phones, as well as let the family share besides Google, and it makes <b>GMail</b> very attractive.<br><br>But, on the other side, Google makes their money on ads, and they make no secret that they analyze your email (<b>GMail</b>), your appointments (<b>Google Calendar</b>), and your web browsing (<b>Google Chrome</b>) to try to market to you better. &nbsp;I am still undecided if I want to keep swimming up-stream or just give in and use the Google services, because they will be better than anything I can set up on my own.<br><br>*sigh*<br><br>However, I have finally made another change to the blogging solution, and I should be able to start writing more. &nbsp;I do have some ideas in a back log to talk about.&nbsp;
