Optus have been quite fantastic in ensuring that I don't have my previous email account for as long as possible... not only have they deleted my old account, but they havn't given it back to me. They've added a number to the end so I'm username1@optushome.com.au. Oh yay. That's bloody useless isn't it.
So I'm moving everything, email and webpages, to my own domain soon. It won't be walkentheband.com or preshrunk.net, it'll be something else. It'll just take a few days.
