Crap, I've already forgotten my new password. If only I didn't have to remember so many for work.
Free Password Managers

Ohhhhhh, I can't wait to experience it!
Thankfully, work provides us with a password manager. Un-thankfully, there are certain programs and third party apps & websites that don't or can't be mated to it.
I keep / have kept a password manager on my phone / iPod. There is no possible way that I could keep track of all of them any other way.
(Then again there's the times I don't immediately note new passwords, then a month or more later try to log on to that site / account and can't remember the PW )

... and my grumbling about any day where the temp is above 75 degrees and/or humidity above 30%.
Trying to get windows 8 updates installed, so that i can load windows 8.1. It's taking FOREVER!
(it probably would have gone faster if i'd taken the new computer back to work for teh faster connection...but it's raining )
I still like XP much, much better

Here I am again using the tablet, but this time with a stylus.
And again I do not see the attraction in any way.
There is no substitute for a full-size keyboard, mouse and monitor.
This is so stupid. No, really. Back later.

I like tablets for books, video and travel. They're ridiculously hard to do any actual work on.
The saga of the new laptop continues...it kept hanging up on downloading the 83 (yes, 83!) security updates, but by the time (3 hours later) that i finally figured out that i only needed 2 specific updates to allow me to upgrade to 8.1 (free and reportedly slightly better than 8.0), i'd managed to get 70 downloaded.
I thought i'd told it to install just those two. but no. It's installing all of them it's on #24 of 70.
then - tomorrow, since i have a meeting soon- I should be able to download 8.1, install that and download the inevitable security updates that go with it. Argh.

gotta agree - really doubted i'd like the tablet for reading but ..... i have not been to the library in 3 weeks!
Being able to download library books without going anywhere is the best thing about it.
hmmm, no light needed while reading and hence no light to turn off - i can doze off in peace! and the thing puts itself in sleep mode when that happens

What's odd with the iPad is that reading e-books runs the battery down faster than web surfing.
Only interested in the Windows, iOS and Android ones....(nix any-old linux). And only because "there's an app for that".
Although MS and Apple need to get their collective butts in gear on standards.
And the cross-platform development stuff sucks or is real expensive (because it doesn't suck, so they can charge a lot).
I don't own any of em. Bought the GF one though (kindle).
