Copying isn’t burning, necessarily
Here in Canada, you have a fundamental right to freedom of speech in the context of protest. The fundamental right to camp; not so much.
On to sillier things. Like my role in the workplace. I received a call on my own hotline this morning, requesting assistance in copying a CD. I can handle that. Off to the rescue.
I made sure the software was up to date. Gave a quick explanation of the differences in media type; you know, CD vs DVD, etc. Made sure that the hardware was present and accounted for. Showed how to determine the appropriate blank media for copying. Yada Yada. And then, the final question… How can I burn a CD onto the computer desktop?
Fold my tent (unlike the campers in the city centre) and retreat, knowing that my work here is not done. Probably never will be. Some challenges are just too big.
The snow tires are ON. All I had to do was load the back seat area at the appointed time. The “just in time”. Snow is forecast for the morning. Not a storm (like in the Maritimes) but a start to the season of slippiness. Given that the deadline for “getting them on” is still three weeks off, it won’t save us from other, less prudent drivers. But it should limit the damage caused by our car sliding into fixed bumpers in the great amusement park of winter driving. Small mercies.
A new list of the top twenty-five hopeless passwords is out. Happily, none were collected from me.
The complete Top 25 are:
- password
- 123456
- 12345678
- qwerty
- abc123
- monkey
- 1234567
- letmein
- trustno1
- dragon
- baseball
- 111111
- iloveyou
- master
- sunshine
- ashley
- bailey
- passw0rd
- shadow
- 123123
- 654321
- superman
- qazwsx
- michael
- football
Here’s a hint: join any five of the above together, in a pseudo-random order and you start to have a strong password. Good luck remembering it for more than one use.
