Passwords
Recently mrdreamjeans posted about how we've become accustomed to speed-dialing on our phones, rather than memorizing or looking up numbers in a printed phonebook. That made me think about Pass Words … I've got dozens of them active (for amazon.com, for union business, for any number of internet transactions, etc), and wonder how people manage to remember all of theirs. By nature I'm a practitioner of 'the old ways', i.e. I'm such a natural Luddite that I use old methods mostly because I don't know any better. Creeping senioritis means I cannot possibly remember all my passwords - and I don't do an amazon transaction every week to keep me in practice. My solution?… I've got passwords recorded by hand in a notebook, so even if the computer should go on the blink, I have a means of retrieving the data that gets me into certain sites. So, I wonder what other people do, the non-Luddite majority that swirls around me.
What I like about being weird is that it requires so little effort [smirk].
