I suppose if I was more mobile I'd need something more than Keepass but as long as I'm tethered to a laptop it's OK. What amazed me is the sheer number of accounts I have - well into the 300s.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06038956427789115440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260056830686404550.post-74395347598399156632011-05-30T12:29:43.722-05:002011-05-30T12:29:43.722-05:00I usually keep my phone on vibrate, though sometim...I usually keep my phone on vibrate, though sometimes I don't notice it. I have experimented with creating my own ringtones from rifs of ZZTop, The Who and Van Halen, but in the end, I think I'm too ground into thinking a phone should make a <i>ring</i> sound, if any.<br /><br />Hey, thanks for turning me onto the password managers. I eventually settled on 1password because it has a phone app that will sync with my Mac. (KeePass requires Mono, the open source version of .NET. I couldn't get to work with my Mac.) I hadn't fully appreciated how much password reuse I'd been doing until I started going through them and updating important accounts.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14385180214495398029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260056830686404550.post-26378239438165652922011-05-29T09:20:05.768-05:002011-05-29T09:20:05.768-05:00Joel, are you saying that Jewish grandmothers have...Joel, are you saying that Jewish grandmothers have a thing for the bodice-ripping genre? <br /><br />Maybe someday I'll get a fancy phone so I can check things like the QR myself. Earlier in the week a customer praised my luddite status when he saw my phone. That day may be coming sooner than anyone thinks. The flip cover is getting a little loose and something rattles when you shake the phone.<br /><br />Speaking of phones, I've finally put my foot down regarding ringing and set my phone to vibrate only. That's to be compared to someone else in my house who set their ringtone to a Pink song, the one that asks the existential question "what part of party don't you understand?"Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06038956427789115440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260056830686404550.post-62055966103622959432011-05-29T09:05:21.578-05:002011-05-29T09:05:21.578-05:00I couldn't get the QR doohikie to work - at le...I couldn't get the QR doohikie to work - at least I don't think I did. When I scanned the code on Horse Bits it linked me to an obscure college radio station in Syracuse, NY. Odd<br /><br />The local brewery site is a nice but the database needs work. Not surprising given the number of new brewpubs and breweries opening on a seemingly weekly basis and the fact that the site relies on users to update the listings.<br /><br />I like the list of most read cities. Not surprising to see college towns like Cambridge, Ann Arbor & Berkely at the top. Good to know that most of the Fabio-covered moron fluff is safely sequestered in Miami.Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11082260499414565378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260056830686404550.post-16604455196211457492011-05-29T06:58:15.455-05:002011-05-29T06:58:15.455-05:00I'm glad the QR code worked.

That's how it works, right?<br /><br />I've never really tried to get an answer from any Stack Exchange forum. I've just been impressed by the number of forums and the way content is delivered.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06038956427789115440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260056830686404550.post-35127545639216736422011-05-28T17:02:16.361-05:002011-05-28T17:02:16.361-05:00Love the self-referential QR code.

Nice!<br /><br />Stack Exchange is an excellent resource, especially Stack Overflow, which has been indispensable when dealing with various arcane technical issues on an ancient, recalcitrant web server. (I would be remiss in mentioning "buying the commercialized/supported version of an open source CMS package," as their forums are... pretty polluted with no-longer-relevant.)Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14385180214495398029noreply@blogger.com
