Proving that the Defense Information Systems Agency doesn’t have a monopoly on boneheaded IT stuff, I have the following tale to entertain one and all.
Just got an email telling me my password to a site with the Navy is due to expire soon. I go to the site, type in what I think is my password, and find that I have totally forgotten my password to this site. Go to the FAQ to find out how to retrieve the password, and I’m told to contact my registrar, who is listed on a linked document. That document, as you may have guessed, requires my password to access. Huh? “Don’t have your password? Well, just type in your password and we’ll give it to you.” Bright folks, wonder if they ever tried following their own instructions…

According to this page, I’m well-suited to living in Kent, Bremerton, and other such dank musty spots about the Puget Sound. Strange that Monterey was not listed in the entire 4 pages of other cities, although Athens Georgia was. Like I want to live in the Southeast. Of course, my top 6 listings all had precipitation of 35 inches per year or greater, despite my saying I didn’t seek out rain. The top two are in the Pac NW, despite my saying I would rather not live in the snowier parts of the country. I doubt the veracity of this “predictor” tool…
The December trip to Hawaii is now in February. To fill the time, I’m going to San Diego for a few days in December, just a week before I go to Minnesota. San Diego, Minnesota…nice dichotomy.
