More cross-platform madness

So I do SparkPeople--it's an online diet tool that you can track your exercise and calories and such. I've found it pretty helpful when I start getting off track on what I'm eating, as it helps me recalibrate from restaurant portions back to a reasonable amount of food.

Anyway, they just started trying to convince me to log on via Facebook. You want me to log on to a diet website, which includes exactly what I've eaten and exactly how much I've weighed, for years, that I've got a pseudonym for, through Facebook. The site that gleefully broadcasts every possible thing to anyone you've ever met for 30 seconds, and is known for problematic privacy controls.

Umm. No.

(It's not so much that it's that confidential information. If someone wanted to know, I'd tell them. But there's a difference between being ok with the information available if someone really looks and broadcasting it to hundreds of people.)

I can check my mail!

Our computer has been becoming increasingly decrepit, to the point that the only way I could come up with to check my gmail was via a six-year-old version of Firefox. (Later versions of multiple browsers seem to get killed by some process, maybe Norton. They would get stuck forever and require a hard reboot. By the end, gmail stopped even supporting that version, which meant I was stuck with the HTML only version of gmail. Super awesome.)

We got a new computer! Yay! I can just open up gmail and it works instantly! Yay!
