What doesn't kill you gets you new hardware.

I've had a power supply blow on computers I was upgrading a time or two. It's just as startling as the red screen of death, in that you don't know what you've done to bring it upon you but you know it's going to be bad.

I parsed this to mean that Brenda has two dads.

And errant apostrophes!

Mine are all lines from Corb Lund songs, or comic book references, or names of dogs, or are things that are pinned to the cork board behind my desk, or are things my favorite toddler has said.

Now you know everything.

More than a way of generating new passwords, I need a system of remembering the ones I'm using. You can't carry a sheaf of post-it notes everywhere!

Lately, my passwords have been self-affirmations, to remind myself things like I deserve to be happy every time I unlock my computer.

I'm offended you think I would punctuate like that.

I hate coming up with new passwords and tend to favor changing the last character, although I tend to rotate thru a few variations. That is, I used to, before my uni changed its password requirements.

That's a good idea! Also, you deserve to be happy.

Going back to the bulb discussion for a moment, be aware that squirrels *love* flower bulbs. And will dig up and rebury half the ones you plant, and eat a lot of the ones they don't rebury. It's a good thing they're so dang cute, or there would be a lot more retribution.

I need to change mine this week. We can't reuse anything we have used in the last 24 months. Or anything that has a certain number of similar characters in the same places. Hmmm, wonder if a number at the front would minimize that issue.

I like the self affirmations. Will have to come up with a good one.
