And thanks for some good ideas Titch - especially for passwords as I am RUBBISH at both choosing and remembering them! Good idea to attach documents to draft emails too - never thought of that one! xLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07954973933146210474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1380357409510446092.post-28776866568698713232011-09-14T09:54:32.710+02:002011-09-14T09:54:32.710+02:00I used to put stuff in a password locked zip or ra...I used to put stuff in a password locked zip or rar and attach to draft emails on GMail, which I'd then save locally as soon as I got home, so if the connection went at my end, it didn't matter. Dropbox sounds like a good idea, but whatever you do should always be password locked if it is at all sensitive. While it's a pain to type in, a phrase is good because it can be easily remembered. I used to use nursery rhymes and the like: "HumptyDumpty sat on the w411" for example (there's a really good cartoon strip somewhere about how what we've done with password rules is to make stuff that computers can crack and humans can't remember - phrases rather than single words or random strings often solve both of those problems to a good degree)titchhttp://www.scoliosis-support.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1380357409510446092.post-10355634457799907932011-09-14T09:45:33.370+02:002011-09-14T09:45:33.370+02:00I ask myself "why do we have to employ these ...I ask myself "why do we have to employ these 'belts and braces' strategies to ensure things get done if modern technology is so good"? Slightly different, I know, but only yesterday my washing machine, which was sold to me with a so called "known fault", wouldn't start because of the damn door mechanism, AND of course I hadn't renewed the breakdown cover for the third year!
