Reminds me I have to plant my bulbs in the next month or so. Involves hauling up the bark, barrier, planting, new weed/squirrel barrier, put down bark again.
And the squirrels still had a pretty high success rate. New type of barrier this year.
So today, work early, no power,park half mile away at garage with power. Luckily the ups worked this time and no fallout.
Arrive 5 minutes earlier than usual to pool, change, and discover door locked. Kid barfed while I was showering. Waited for reopen, swam. Home just before 8.
Tomorrow, I try being late.
But damn, if anyone should have b&w stripy furniture, IT IS ME.
Maybe it will eventually realize it belongs with you and just come home.
Jilli, that is advanced upholstering. I say keep it on the wishlist until you can find someone to barter skills with.
My current password system is to use three nouns, and then have (my crappy) drawings of the three things on a page in a drawing app on my iPad. It is far more likely that I will remember which synonym that was than some random person (who has broken into my iPad) figuring it out for all three.
Fuck, I'm not ready for summer to be over. Never really got one in many ways.
Someone tell me that it’s all right to stop working and play a video game for an hour before bed. So. Tired. I have more work to do for school (both schools, actually—my digital grad class and my own classes), but I really need to wind my brain down before I go to sleep.
Not only all right, but a good idea, Pix.
I use Wire quotations sometimes.
A lot of security experts say that if it lets you follow all the other rules and not keep reusing the same password write you passwords down. A written password is a lot harder to hack than most easy to remember passwords. I can see that in a home environment, but I wonder about that in a work
environment.
Also, those stupid security questions everyone makes you answer in addition to your password are actually security holes. Many people whose password was well protected have had accounts hacked because of security questions. Mother's maiden name and high school, street name of your first home or whatever are researchable. The name of your first pet may or may not be researchable, but is probably guessable. What they suggest is non-sequiter answers that you can remember or that you write down. So the high school you went to might be "STD incubator". And the name of your first pet can be answered as "Eat a muffin, whitey". Neither of these are what I actually use.
"consciencedocost"
is a fine password. Though you may find yourself reusing
"whatthef**kdidido"
an inordinate number of times.
