Passwords

Please forgive the lateness of this post, I am ashamed to admit but I forgot my password to log on. That will teach me to change any settings at 6:30 in the morning after staying up all night to read Harry Potter #7. Can you say brain dead?

I know having lots of passwords is a way of life in the 21st century, but I think so is forgetting them all. A brief (unscientific) survey of several people in the media center shows that this is a wide spread problem. Several people keep notebooks with passwords, others have a file saved. Neither is a fool proof method. What happens if you lose your notebook or your file is hacked into? And using the same password for everything doesn't work either. Of course, to be perfectly safe, each password should be different with weird combinations of letters (lower and upper case), numbers, and symbols. Not only does that make it harder for criminals to steal your passwords, but it makes it virtually impossible for you to remember it. Or, at least it is hard for me. Maybe everyone else has a better memory.

Well, now that I'm back in with my blog, hopefully I'll remember to update it. There is lots going on this year in the media center to share with you.

Good luck remembering all your passwords!
