Upcoming Poet

Lately we have noticed that our 3 year son Abhishek is an upcoming poet, he mixes his Rhymes and makes up his own songs / rhymes. thi smorning he confirmed this by coming up with a modified version of “2 Little Dickie Birds” Rhyme

His version it started with the orignal and continued with his additions

two Little dickie birds sitting on a wall
one named Peter, other named Paul
fly away peter, fly away Paul
come back Peter, come back Paul

_______________His version Contiued __________________

two little worms, wriggling around the ground
one named Peter, one name Paul
wriggle away peter, wriggle away Paul
come back Peter, come back Paul

two little cars, racing around the tracks
one named Peter, one name Paul
race away peter, race away Paul
come back Peter, come back Paul

two little dogs, running around the park
one named Peter, one name Paul
run away peter, run away Paul
come back Peter, come back Paul

I wonder what his next poem wil be, looking forward for his new version….

is your child too a poet / remixer ? please add your versions in the comments

Gmail Changes to GoogleMail in UK

The story behind the new "Google Mail" name  

 

Do I need to do anything?
No. Although the name is changing, your email service remains the same. To sign in, you can go to the same page as before, or you can now also visit: http://mail.google.com/mail.

When will you start offering Google Mail accounts? When will this change take place?
Starting October 19, 2005, the Gmail service will be renamed Google Mail in the UK. We will no longer issue new @gmail.com addresses. All new addresses will be @googlemail.com addresses.

What if I invite someone? Will they also have to create an @googlemail.com address?
That depends on where your invitation recipients are located. If they are in a country where we issue Gmail accounts, then they will be able to create a Gmail account. But from the UK, you will only be able to send Google Mail invitations. If your recipient is also in the UK, he or she will only be able to create an @googlemail.com account.

What if I'm a UK user who already has a Gmail address? Will that address ever change?
Unfortunately, we don't know. We would love to say that your address will always remain the same. But the trademark issue is still unsettled, and unfortunately, we cannot predict what the other party or the courts might do here. You can always use your same username with an @googlemail.com address to avoid this issue later on. But trust that we will do the best we can to make sure your email address won't ever have to change.

What if I'm a UK user who already has a Gmail address? Will I also need to change that address?
No, this change doesn’t affect existing Gmail addresses. For now, our plan is only to issue @googlemail.com addresses to new users. Trust that we will do the best we can to offer all our users a reliable and consistent email experience.
