Entire Night Wasted

Someone tried to hack my GMail account. I got a “Forgot Password” link in my secondary email address. I’ve been changing all my passwords and security questions. In between all this, my Yahoo! email account that I use for lots of purposes manages to get locked! The “Forgot Password” page for Yahoo wasn’t working either…very funny. I spent the entire night with a phone dangling from my ear.

Finally I connected to their main number using another phone…and luckily I got through the other phone in a couple of minutes. Took me another 2 hours before I got a link in another email account and managed to get my Yahoo account unlocked.

Lesson learned: Keep separate email addresses for every single blog/group/correspondence group etc. You never know who will try to hack what. Also keep two-three email addresses that you don’t use anywhere on the internet. You these email addresses as your secondary email address, so that the hacker will never be able to guess your alternate email address. Phew!

I hope to say goodbye to Yahoo before MSFT acquires it, which it very well might…I think. Ballmer seems to be really stubborn this time and I’m scared of his crazy antics.

1.25 pm here and am finally going to sleep! What a weekend!

Yahoo's Customer Service Sucks

I have been on hold for more than 1 hour 20 mins. The average wait time when I made the call was supposed to be 25 minutes. I wanted to ask them a question about the DNS settings. If you’ve noticed, I’ve changed the URL to my personal domain address: http://bitsncrumbs.com. Basically, I wanted to ask if I could use my main domain name with my WP.com blog and how would I go about it…whether my mail settings would be affected etc.

Don’t know what’s going to happen to Yahoo’s customer service after Microsoft acquires it. Any guesses?

UPDATE: Finally someone answered my call after a record 1 hr 35 mins.

if federal funds were lowered beyond a certain point, the dollar would come under renewed pressure and long-term bonds would actually go up in yield. When it is reached, the ability of the Fed to stimulate the economy comes to an end..

Flickrness

I have never been able to understand the Flickr madness that has engulfed almost everyone. Most of my pictures are stored in CDs and very recently, I’ve uploaded lots of them on Facebook, as a backup. Plus, Facebook doesn’t have any upload limit. Whereas on Flickr, you need to stay within 100 mb/month or get a Pro account (which I don’t want). People want to show off where they’ve been to…they want to show off their new digital SLR and they crave attention. Very few people do it for genuine reasons- wanting to have a backup, sharing the pictures with their family, friends etc. The saddest thing is that I seem to be getting affected by this madness too. I use my other Flickr account to upload photos (that I use in posts) for my WP.com blog. When I click a picture, I don’t want to think “Hey, this would make a great pic! I need to put it on Flickr”. Instead I want to think “Hey, this would make a great pic and make me remember this moment forever”.

An asteroid, known as 2007 TU24, is expected to whiz by Earth on Tuesday with its closest approach at 334,000 miles, or about 1.4 times the distance of Earth to the moon. An actual collision of a similar-sized object with Earth occurs on average every 37,000 years.
