@odd I gradually got myself out of the terrible habit of re-using passwords. Now I get angry when the pass-phrase I want to use is too long for whichever resource I'm accessing. As an IT guy, there is one of my passwords for elevated access that I must use with great frequency… Hence my post. 😉

@odd If you still have to use passwords, phrases of three or four words (joined by extended characters and including numbers) will get you much farther than the recommended 16 characters. And if you're joining words together, and using the phrase repeatedly, why not make it meaningful?

@rnv Love the criteria for The List. I happen to be on the grounds today

@jean I have done that same thing, often. RE: unfinished projects

@dandycat I've learned the hard way that even showing interest in a specific domain name is enough for a broker to buy it in the hope that he can make a profit from you. I've started using whois or dig from the command line instead of web sites when I have a particular interest in an exact name.

@richText My thanks to you! There were a few moments that were proof of concept for a life-lesson I'm learning, capped with helpful synchronicity.

@richText Yesterday was a white-knuckle day for me, too. Glad you got through it.

@cleverdevil Very sorry to learn of your loss. These transitions are very hard.

@odd So disappointing when the younger generation places recent history so har into the past because they haven't lived it. ;) The MacTracker app is a great reference tool, but so is everymac.com

@frostedechoes I don’t know if other people are the same, but I never really stop loving songs that made it to favorite status
