Email hacked
I don't know how many people got spam messages from my bk the irregular at aol dot com account, but there were several. Looks like I got hacked (I'd nearly forgotten I still had that AOL account).
Passwords changed, security questions changed, and I apologize to anyone whose inbox got cluttered due to my neglect.
As an aside: I'm starting to get a little annoyed at the maximum-character restrictions on a number of web services. It gets to the point where you don't have enough characters to create a password that is both difficult to hack and easy to remember, so you end up with a string of gibberish that's probably easier to hack than remember.
