Since I've posted here, I've had surgery to fix an ulcer on the bottom of my foot by removal of a foot bone and existed for a year with mainly Facebook updates ( Read more... )

Today, it was reported the latest research that says what lots of us have known for awhile: the required password-changes don't help security. As the report likened it, the practice assumes that the thief who makes a copy of your house key will wait a few months before trying the lock.

At least we get to leave mid-day on Thursday for the 2.5 hour drive back to Denver. If I can get out of driving, nice time to read or use the Playstation Portable, yes?
