GMail Invitations, Part 3

Hi all, I've given out 20 GMail invites so far, it seems that whenever I use them up, I get more within a day or so.  I'm running out soon of my contest entries, so I'd like to see some more creative entries.  See my previous post about the contest for more information.  (No, I'm not going to link to the original, if you're not willing to spend the effort to go to the main page of my blog and scroll down, I'm not going to spend the effort to invite you.)

Another hint:  “Please give me GMail invite NOW” is not an entry.  I've gotten over 200 of those, which are not eligible, and 37 “creative” entries.

--Marcie

Since it was fathers day, I got to take a break from the typical weekend of mowing the lawn and the other honey do's.

So I cracked open VS.NET to work on a new project I've been tinkering with:

Screen scrape a telnet session to a TeamSpeak Server (VoIP) and create a XML dump of the current users in channels.

For some reason or another, I was looking at Sonu Kapoor's XML How To Index (followed a link off of weblogs.asp.net) and landed here. To think I used to dislike blogs... :)

Anyway, I'm not creative outside of coding, so how about I throw you some mad RegEx code that I've written as part of my TeamSpeak app for a Gmail invite?

Here's the RegEx:

Regex(@"((\d{1,10}\s{1,10}){13})""\d{1,3}.\d{1,3}.\d{1,3}.\d{1,3}""\s{1,10}"".*""\s{1,10}"".*""", options);

And if I'm so lucky, patag (@) universalrealms.com

Thanks!

since Talk21 became part of the Yahoo empire, my girlfriend's email has become totally inaccessible to her. i'm off to TechEd Europe next week, and i can't afford the mobile phone bills keeping in touch with her, so i'd like to give her a decent email account before i go. hotmail suxxorz big time, and although hushmail has some tech kudos, she tried it and doesn't like it....so any chance of a GMail invite? it would make me _really_ popular.

A Gmail account to a professor of mine would be a digital "apple" he'd like. Cool guy, too.

Help an adult learner get his degree! Please? Plaintively, humbly, I'm-not-worthy-but-it's-not-for-me-really please?

HI, i would like to get that Gmail Invitation, mostly 'couse i have huge collection of email from the past 8 years, more than 0.8 gb. and it almost impossible to save it some where 'couse i have to share the computer.it's impossible to me, to get the invitation in other way 'couse i live in a small town, in a small city, from a poor country (antofagasta, Chile). So please have some mercy and let me end this search for a gmail account after more than 3 months.
the whole purpose for handing out gMail invites at this stage of google's project is pretty much beta testing. something i love working on. software or any type of computer related developement is something i love working on. right now i'm looking to possibly being a final tester for half life2 and halo 2. i would LOVE to add gMail to my list of things to help striengthen for the online community.

also i would have i few drinks in your name.
In advance, thanks

I have had a gmail account for a few weeks and I have not recieved any invites, although I have been very active. My wife is waiting on an invite so she can send pictures and stuff without the problems of other e-mail services. Can anyone spare a gmail invite, so that I can surprise my wife? Thanks in advance...

E-mail me at tonemiester@hotmail.com

Everybody wants a gmail account for various reasons.
1. great file storage
2. lots of memory space
3. cool, simple layout
4. conversation style emails

and I think those reasons are great, but I want a gmail account so I can show off. I live in small univeristy town where not many people have caught on that gmail is the next hottest thing on the web, and very simply, I want to be the first one to have one. I want to be the sexy, popular geek that no one can beat. I think this endeavor is much much more worthy then wanting lots of file storage and a simple layout, right? If you agree send me an invite to:

Creativity under pressure. Ack! I'm SO not a clutch player. This is a huge blow to my ego, because until now I thought I did okay when under the gun. Here's hoping I don't sound anywhere near as stupid when I leave messages on people's answering machines.... Although, that could explain the lack of call-backs from a certain girl....

Anyways, I'd love to see what gmail is all about if you haven't used up all your invites.

Hey Marcie.. this is really a cool idea. I have seen some pretty decent comments about your generous gmail giveaways in other blogs. So.. BTW howz gmail? I am not sure about gmail but you are getting pretty popular around the blogs and in our work place too.

The other day one of my colleague.. has a piece of pizza and was going along the same lines as you were doing here.

I would really appreciate if you can spare a gmail invitation. Just curious to check howz gmail. Thanks in advance.

BTW... convey my wishes to Eli.

STAN said:

NO BIG DEAL! Just because something is limited, restricted, guarded, it is valuable! Thats normal human nature. BTDT. No big deal. I was never too interested in google mail anyway, I was way too happy with Yahoo. But I wanted to check out what all the fuss was about, and in 1 hour of trying, I was able to track a friend who had gmail invites. Having registered at gmail, I am un-impressed.
The "conversations" feature looks good, the interface is nice, simple and quick, and thats it. I am not too impressed by the "search your emails" feature. How many times have you had to really search for emails in your inbox.
The interface is clean and neat, and being from google, its here to stay, but spending your hard-earned $$ for a google account, give me a break. Pure Insanity! Everyone reading this will agree it no big deal when you too have a gmail account. Dont pay for the damn thing. Send me an email eye_am_stan at yahoo dot com. I will distribute any gmail invite that I get my hands onto. I would really like to dillute this exclusivity of the damn gmail thing. Drop me a line and keep checking your inboxes.
