Security Reminder


Here is another safety precaution for all the internet users who increasingly use online websites and services.

Passwords are important and if chosen poorly can have significant consequences. More and more identity thefts are being made and phishing is increasing. The above survey shows the most common passwords. If you are using any of these, you need to consider making some changes quickly.

Better and more secure passwords will have both letters and symbols and include upper and lower cases. Avoid using common names or things that would be associated with you personally.

So, what is on the agenda for tomorrow's topic? Some hard-hitting hints for using PhotoShop? Holding Spellcheck accountable for failing to identify words spelled correctly, but used inappropriately? Using Excel calculation routines to track Sunday School attendance?

Dear 10:56...

I'd suggest HB consider the following topics...

How about "learning to ignore asswipe anony posters".

Or perhaps "getting the testicular fortitude to post under your own name".

Or perhaps "how to get a life instead of taking anonymous shots at others."

Oh, wait, this post is anony too. Will the hypocrisy ever end?

iamhoosier, I always find your comments witty and enjoyable and miss them when they are not there.

It is a shame others cannot be civil.

Seeing things black and white is one of my struggles. It has been for a long time and I really do work on it although others may disagree.

I don't understand 4:35--was that posted by 10:56? Or addressed to 10:56...

Can't a girl say stuffitupyourbutt these days without people getting all upset? What is the world coming to!

Stuffitupyourbutt.

HB,
I remembered a story that you told when we met for the first(& only)time. I don't remember exactly but it was around the time that you were a resident and the other residents gave you an award that was all black and white or something along that line.

I was afraid that you were upset with me. Glad to know that it is not the case. Disagreeing does not HAVE to mean disagreeable--at least not most of the time.

HB,
Oh, and one more thing.

Just start agreeing with me more and together, we will blend that "paint" into a real nice shade of GRAY!
