(Secret and password protected) Diary of a Web 2 Novice
Gee you spend a lot of time for nothing in front of a computer screen. I have wasted hours this week trying every password I’ve ever used to get back into this weblog (for some reason I prefer the full name of the thing. The abbreviation sounds obscene.). Anyway, Edublog has been closed for renovations, but, of course, I just thought it was me. When it asked me if I had forgotten my password, I affirmed that this was the case and put in a request for a new one to be sent to my email. Unfortunately, when I set up this blog, I had to use my home email, and to get into that from work required me to send for another password from Bigpond. This line of obscurity is now prominently in my work diary, for there is no way I could remember it, and I am afraid to change it to something else that, clearly, is forgettable. I try to use the same password, but then some machine demands that I embellish it by adding a lot of B*##y!I style characters. So then, like it not, I have another password to contend with. Another password that will ensure that no-one can break in to see what I am about to publish on my PUBLIC WEBLOG!
I don’t know what all this security is about – it’s just a nuisance. Anyway, I work with a shop load of super-geeks (all gorgeous) who could break into anything I construct (if they really wanted to be bored out of their brains!).
So the thought for the day is – just because you’ve hit another “invalid username“, doesn’t mean that it’s not because the system isn’t down! (Love all those triple negatives when I’m feeling like the martyr.)
Which reminds me – I still haven’t been able to access my car radio since they took out the battery!

Thanks, Keith. There’s more where that came from.
Cheers,
