OK, the first Gmail outage of any length is going on right now, and I'm definitely jonesing.

I know a lot of people who went bugs when Live Journal went down, but outside of being a bit bemused about it I wasn't too badly affected by it. However, I have grown to rely on Gmail. I have something like 16 MB of mail there, and I use it kind of like a mail filing cabinet.

I suppose I should have realized that Gmail is still in beta and is not to be relied on. I will not rely on it as extensively as I used to after today. But I did rely on it and now I'm hurting.

Get it fixed, guys! Please!

Update 3:15pm: Gmail is finally back up again.
