I am also enjoying that my Google vent blog is on Google's Blogger.
It is still early so my Google interface to this point has only been with Google's Blogger via Safari on my iPad. So far no issues so I am going to vent a bit about yesterday.
Chrome on my laptop was not my friend yesterday. Of course the spell correct substitutions were failing. So I went through and closed all my drafts and closed Chrome. When I reopened Chrome any drafts that were started as blank emails reopened and secured themselves to the bottom. When I went to a new tab it would carry the graphics from the previous active tab over. So while one would think you might be in your mail with drafts open it was just an unresponsive image. After several tries and realizing the chat portion was saying that it could not connect while everything else was I did a complete laptop reboot. This solved the four issues above (for a time).
My other challenge with Google yesterday had to do with Spam. That is going to deserve its own post.
On a more positive note I did learn one tip for viewing your calendar. On the little calendar on the side bar you can highlight several weeks and get a view of those weeks only on the big calendar. When you need to do some schedule planning for more than a week, less than a month, or weeks that overlap two months this may be a handy view. I haven't actually used it to do anything beyond view so stay tuned for potential pitfalls.
Also learned yesterday that although Contacts that was in the Google Bar is not in the Google Square it is still available. It can be found by selecting the drop down on the word Mail on the mail interface. This follows the general rule of Google that you always have to pick the thing you are sure you don't want.
