I discovered Google Forms!

I read about Google Docs Forms from a paper magazine!

This one is a test of embedding a test of Google Docs Form into my blog. Words don't make this a bit more clever, so - here we go:

The form was embedded as IFRAME, which loads the form from Google. It's not directly copied as HTML code.

You could also view and fill in the form via this kind of link:

Thanks for the results!

Gmail: Server Error (502)

Gmail is "down", for me at the least. This is the first time I'm seeing this error, so I can call this a discovery! I've heard about similar problems from Hungary and Estonia.

I also discovered that Gmail Notifier is a nice tool for monitoring the availability of the Gmail service. It tries to connect to the mailbox periodically, so you don't have to do it. The status is shown in the taskbar and auto-disappearing pop-up messages.

Update: Google has information in their Gmail blog:
