Forget your Password?

Better believe it! I understand the need for security but how much is too much? I have been trying to use the features of the iPhone 4 I purchased a few weeks ago. I set up an iTunes account a week or so ago and a redbox account, all of which require passwords along with gmail, my bank, Inspire (the state funded electronic database for information) and at this point I don't know what else. I know that I tried to access my redbox account and then my itunes account and couldn't remember any of the passwords. I'm sure I wrote them down on a slip of paper somewhere but where? I managed to reset one password but it's real inconvenient to be a part-time user and when you really want to access a site where you have an account not be able to remember the password for that site. How secure is having your computer remember all that information. Convenient for sure, hardly secure if the laptop falls into the wrong hands. I'm sorry but isn't there a better way to remember passwords? I can't help it if I want my access and security too. I guess I should not complain that my accounts are secure even against me. I'm thinking of the money I'll save. Maybe there is a silver lining.

This one is corny

Well, it's been quite awhile since the last post but for me lots has happened. Without boring anyone who happens to stumble on this site, I will get straight to the point. My youngest daughter was making wedding preparations and needed a document printed. My printer is not a networked printer and my daughter's laptop did not have my printer installed. She gave me her flash drive and asked me to print the desired document.

I inserted the flash drive into my computer, connected the printer, selected the desired document and hit print. The printer came on. Started to print and quit. Paper jam. In trying to get good access to the printer, I picked it up and heard a rattle from inside like loose parts. When I tipped the printer upside down, feed corn showered down to the floor! Mice had not only gotten into the feed corn we used for our ducks, they used my printer as a silo. Beware of little rodents who may have a preference for peripheral computer devices.

For anyone who has followed this blog besides myself, I have purchased an iPhone 4. I have used the camera functions and after doing some house cleaning in my music library, intend to use the ipod part of the phone. I still need to open accounts for itunes and the apps store but I don't want to do that until I can get some time free of interruptions and distractions. I am anxious to try the e-reader as well.

Until the next encounter with technology, good, bad or otherwise.
