What is up with GMAIL? I was locked out all day yesterday because...? I don't know. I usually have my e-mail program open on a couple of computers at the same time almost everyday and have been doing that ever since Gmail started, because I move around my house/office so much.

Why was I suddenly locked out? In their lockout notice, it says that might have caused it, even though they also listed a few other possible reasons that don't apply to me.

I'm working on a chapter for a book -- which is insane all by itself -- so I'm not posting as much this week, but not being able to at least scan my Inbox is a big problem and it feels like I'm partially blogospheric blind.

It's working now, but when you have no access to it I have to say it's very, very weird. And you can't get to GMAIL to find out why this stuff happens. It's like, well, it'll be back in the next 24 hours or so.

If I haven't responded to something I apologize. Now I'll be digging through a thousand emails to catch up. Has this happened to you?

Thanks, GMAIL guys.
