Hmm,

http://appengine.google.com/start/createapp?
 Sorry, "barrybhunter" is not available. Application Identifiers may
contain only numbers, lowercase letters or hyphens and must be between
6 and 30 characters.

Dito:  Sorry, "BarryBHunter" is not available.

but it says [ [email protected] | My Account | Help | Sign
out ] top left of the page.

Case issue or maybe googlemail.com issue? (darn brits!)


Conversely it says  [ geodatastore is available ] on
https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount?service=mail
when http://geodatastore.appspot.com/ is already active.
(and I could complete the registration, got "You've successfully
signed up for Google Mail.")
