Still no PGP/GPG support in Gmail !

This has been something I’ve been looking for, for a while. As Gmail becomes a primary email account for more and more netizens, secure communication is more and more of a concern.

It didn’t occur to me until just a few moments ago for the hesitation on the part of the Gmail Team.    …..    It will break Ad-Sense.   How can the data hungry monster that is adsense target ads for encrypted emails.

I hope that is not the reason, but I have yet to see any communication from google that would lead me to think different.

Please join in and request pgp support via googles feedback link .

Frustration

Frustration is having one you care about hurting and there is nothing you can do about it.

Long story short, my 14 month old German Shepherd is balding, bleeding, and just down right itchy.  I’ve had him to the vet and tested for mites, parasites, bacteria, and a whole slew of anything else that goes wiggle in the night.

The concenses is that his allment is allergy related.  Great that norrowed things down a bit . ..or did it.  I’ve tried suppliments, different kibble, and a RAW diet.  All the while doing a slow methodical elimination process trying to rule out food allergies.  So far 5 months later, no success.

In the mean time we had some not so wonderful experiences with Prednisone and a slew of antibiotics that all did nothing to FIX a problem..  only treating symptoms.

To top things off I’ve been waiting a month for the results to come back on an Allergy blood test.  3 week into it the vet called and said the lab had an accendent and the first sample was destroyed.  We needed to give a second sample and then continue to wait several more weeks.

Such is my and Berlin’s frustration.
