This is driving me nuts.

There is a person who keeps appearing in my gmail profile picture when I continually select "no picture" from the options.

If you have any idea where this picture comes from, as in why Google associates it with my account, I'd love to know as I do not want this numpty (no offence chap) as my profile picture.

This is offending url that pulls this chap into my profile:

http://mail.google.com/mail/photos/static/68JISq3xBc6_Ue9My5Y1bd4vqayVjH...

But why oh why is he pulled into mine?

UPDATE: I re-set my gmail to UK English (it was on US) and this for the time seems to have resolved it. I will monitor it, though some friends have said they do in fact see my correct profile pic now.

Gmail Tip

You might not be aware of this (I wasn’t until recently).

You can use your gmail username with a + after it with absolutely anything and you’ll still get the email.

You what?

Yep, for example my username is “chambly”, so I could let’s say use chambly+disposable@gmail.com and I’d still get the email.

Or chambly+yahoosignup@gmail.com and I’d get the email still.

Why is this so cool?

Well you can use different combinations for different contacts you may meet, say +business, +friends, or say +spam if you want to sign up to a site but fear spam. You can then set up filters in gmail to filter your mail based on the +whatever, keeping you very organised and your precious username lean.

I love that tip, think it's handy yourself?
