Random Rants

I ordered a wool scarf from Lochcarron on New Years Eve. Ten days later, the order is still "processing". I've emailed them three times over the last five days asking if the scarf was out of stock or if there was a problem with the transaction, and I've yet to receive a response. I guess not every company is IHUK. Disappointing.

zero customer service

Trickers webstore. Zero customer service. Delivered two pairs of boots to the wrong address and the second pair ended up at a news agents two miles from where they (incorrectly) tried to deliver it to. Really not impressed.

Hopefully thats not a pint of "Husband beater".
If it is, I am sure that Paula would sign up for a crate.

It is "husband beater" but luckily for me it isn't me who she's angry with . . . this time [emoji4]

Possibly she was watching a US news conference.

I got an email today, they said they just got back from their Christmas holiday. I wish they had said something about that on their website.

The worst thing to me about my job is, I have to change all corporate passwords every 3 months. I stumbled for a while trying to figure out new ones, making myself crazy, then I had an idea, which I still do today, using description codes from here, making some minor changes. As an example, ih666S!! I've never used this one, but has made changing a password every 3 months easy.

just pick a word. example = example. and substitute digits for vowels and decide which alpha to cap. then you ALWAYS have the same password, with digit variances. especiallyif your having to change frequently.
so x = 3 month interval
x - 01X01mpl01
x - 02X01mpl01or of double digits too much just use one with one exception
x - eX1mpl01 or eX01mpl1
x - eX1mpl02
…example = Iron Heart
x - 1r0nH301rtenjoy

That works, Thanks.

NERD MODE !!!
I use a form of correct battery horse staple - styled passwords with rotating digits to log in.
I have TWO FACTOR enabled for my domain names, GMAIL (Looking @ all you guys who use Google Apps ;)), and hosting providers.
I have TWO different YubiKeys for 2 different sets of systems to authenticate me as 'something I have'. This to me is the future, screw all this numbers stuff, press a button on a physical device, and in.
I use OnePassword to generate site-specific passwords. My YubiKey's randomly generated static password unlocks my OnePassword library. I keep a backup of this specific password protected encrypted on another machine with a password I'm aware of/know.
TWO FACTOR is a must these days. For all of you, especially any business - looking @ you @Giles and Co, if you've not set it up, For the 5 minutes of hassle, you'll get real security increases from it. Easy enough to do with the Google Authenticator App.
The Yubikey is a future thing really, really nice to authenticate me, only needs to be used once a day to ensure I'm still me..

I was gonna go there but wasnt sure if rOman was ready for the rectinal scan discussion.

@mikebarhoot I think your advice was solid for Roman's requirements. I was aiming more general awareness singing the praise of TWO FACTOR :).
