Peeved

21 October, 2011
Posted in: Reading etc.

I’m going to do the NaBloPoMo thing again in November. I know, you can hardly wait.

This year, to take part, you have to sign up to Blogher. I did. As I invented yet another password, the screen kept flashing imperious messages at me: not long enough; not secure enough; include a number; mix small letters and caps; include a punctuation mark. Really, to keep my immensely valuable Blogher account safe? Oh good grief.

    yay about the daily blogging, but boo hiss to crappy websites. How about you just do it and don’t sign up?

    I am probably going to do the same for a similar reason. I can’t get it to accept my word verification (rather than my password).

    I recently had a similar experience with a conference submission website that timed out in the middle of doing something “for security reasons”. Because if I leave myself signed in, another academic is bound to find my terminal, and go and change my conference abstract in a way that would ruin my professional reputation.

    TM, thank you, thank you. I have begun the process. Already forgotten my immensely complex password though.

    Oh Katie, EXACTLY.
