This may be fun.

Some may recall my battle with #NHS who refused to update my email address as only 6 characters. I sold the domain I was using and raised with ICO where literally someone else was getting notices about appointments and medications. ICO said NHS has “correct email address” (a lie). I even took to parliamentary ombudsman who said ICO did nothing wrong (another lie). #GDPR right to correct personal data is clearly ignored when it is the NHS!

I had given up. But …

Last year NHS login says that my email on NHS login is not the same as doctor’s surgery and would I like to update it. Oooh. I said no, and told my doctor’s surgery to update to my usual short address.

Now they have done again and I have said yes.

They say they have saved my details.

This could be fun.

@revk Good luck!

I just found out that my email address “doesn’t look right” so HMPO rejects it.

It’s the same as my Mastodon handle. I get a lot of emails on it. But these vanity TLDs, new concept, right?

Then they tried to auto-correct my fastmail.com-generated one to fastmail.co.uk, which is just dangerous.

Who comes up with these rules?

@samir @revk

I have registered a three.two letter domain, is this likely to cause me trouble if I actually use it? 😕

@simonzerafa @samir probably not IMHO

@revk @samir

I'll test it first on a few less critical services but having a very short email domain (and total address) seems very cool 😄
