(Where the Hell is that password I wrote down, knowing that I'm not supposed to do that...) At that point, I checked the box that said "Send me paper everything..."<br /><br />Haven't been back since.

Minimum of 16 characters, expires in 60 days, can never be used again, no more than 2 consecutive numbers from any of your identifiable numbers, <br />I don't even bother when I go there (roughly once a year for my tax paperwork). Just hit the forgot my password link and drive on.juvathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096708575138552532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-14770070790373038062015-03-24T09:48:22.244-07:002015-03-24T09:48:22.244-07:00A very timely post Tuna.

Imagine my chagrin at discovering that I had to limit my password to just 8 characters. Yes, there were the usual reminders to use at least one special character, a number, etc etc. But to be told my password was too long.<br /><br />Threw me for a loop that did!

They are called Apocolyptica.<br /><br />https://youtu.be/SGigthgbpDI<br /><br />Hope you enjoy it.<br /><br />You could also check out 2 Cello's if you've a mind.

Some of the beauty in that swing music is the lazy beats, the slow ride of the cymbal, etc. Metal just seems diametrically opposed to Big Band stuff, but what do I know? If you are musically inclined to put something together and put it on Youtube, I'd love to hear it. By the way, you know the song Hell is for Children by Pat Benatar? Now that song is just begging to be played a little harder. Can you imagine Metallica doing it? I sure can.Tunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930237104692982421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-75869213631018848972015-03-24T03:42:12.988-07:002015-03-24T03:42:12.988-07:00You may know that my tastes run toward hard rock a...You may know that my tastes run toward hard rock and heavy metal. That's what I like to play when I play my instrument (bass) and what my various bands mostly played while I was in them. However, I've amassed quite a collection of big band stuff and I've been listening to that more than anything else for the past year or so. Goodman, Miller, Charlie Barnet and Tommy Dorsey are in heavy rotation on the CD player. I've especially become enamored of Dorsey. What a tremendous trombone player!<br /><br />(I've wanted, for many years now, to get a band together and record heavy metal versions of the biggest hits in big band music - In The Mood, Cherokee, Sing Sing Sing, Opus One, Getting Sentimental Over You, Tuxedo Junction, etc. I expect it will never happen, but I keep putting the idea out here in case someone with more ambition comes across it and is willing to do it. I'd be happy as hell just to hear it.)Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-74470253018225650562015-03-24T02:31:33.579-07:002015-03-24T02:31:33.579-07:00As the IT, Security and Training manager for my un...As the IT, Security and Training manager for my unit I had more than my share of passwords. One particular password finally crumbled my cookies. After filling out numerous forms and having the base level intel shop do their blessing I was allowed to pick a password and then they let me know the rules: ALL passwords had to be 23 characters long (not 22 or 24, but only the magic number 23), ALL passwords had to have upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters, ALL characters must not be repeating (no two letters or numbers together) and no ascending or descending series in letters or numbers anywhere in the 23 character series. After half an hour of trial and error I finally stumbled upon a password the program would accept, which I promptly wrote down under the scorn filled gaze of the high priests of management. Considering the amount of grumbling and complaining I had done while trying to find some combination that the program would accept, they were rather shy about admonishing me about writing it down. I did make a suggestion when I left, the next step in the dance would be to have people use Egyptian Hieroglyphics and donate next of kin for access to their precious systems.
