There is no particular theme this week, except that I have noticed many of these contributors are providing "customized" email addresses. This is a practice which I too have followed, to detect who is selling my email address to spammers. I would use a consistent login id for many web sites, and a decent password generated by a mental algorithm, with a unique email address for each site. It worked great until some website wanted to know specifically what "my" email address is, and I couldn't remotely remember which of 300 variant email addresses I had signed up for their services with.

First up, Martin is traveling by air. "I have heard it's so beautiful this time of year, so I look forward to visit @arrCity_SLPH." Martin helpfully explains "First sentence is in Danish: Your SAS-booking has been confirmed."

And finally, Daniel D. has a timely reminder that we should all bear in mind so that nobody else has to: "Set your country, set your time zone and they should match. Google thinks otherwise, offering only one option (Czechia) for the selected country (Slovakia). The timezone is correct as the whole Central Europe uses the same time (CET). But the basic rule of usability is: Don't make me think!"
