Chrome is FAST

" I'm so fast
 that last night
 I turned off the light switch
 in my hotel room 
and was in bed
 before the room 
was dark. "

Password Princess here,

happy to advise you.

Time to change

YOUr PasswordS.

Password-S?

Yes,

You should have a different one

for every important account.

Here is a tip!

Phrases of nine letters (or more)

would take hackers

three centuries to crack.

And by that time,

you will not care.

Another tip:

Dictionary words are too EASY.

Try something like:

"iluvklowdia"

Use a made-up word

in your phrase.

Throw in an underscor_e

 "iluvklowdia_"

Then put 3 or 6 or 1

random letters

before and after

your uncrackable password:

jfytiluvklowdia_kkyhg

The best part is:

You DON'T need to Remember it!

Highlight the string of letters 

(and numbers and underscore)

containing your password,

then paste it into a document

on your desktop.

jfytiluvklowdia_kkyhg

When you want to use your password

open the document, 

count the number of letters 

BEFORE your password

jfytiluvklowdia_kkyhg

Highlight and copy your password

minus those letters,

then paste your password

 iluvklowdia_

in the appropriate window. 

You're IN!

You can even write down the string of letters,

(numbers, underscore(s)

because only YOU know

that the password begins

3, or 4, or 1 letter "in"

and what letter (or symbol) it ends on.

Absolutely Brilliant!

Now change YOUr passwords!

Aloha, my name is Cloudia,

and I am an internet addict. 

The web is SO involving,

that I regularly need to "fast"

from the computer.

Waking up,

getting (web invisible) Husband off to work 

(thank goodness SOMEONE does!)

clears the deck 

for me to "turn on, tune in,

and drop out"

from my body.

Getting that next post ready

consumes me,

piles of notes & clippings

beckon like fool's gold.

Pictures suggest themselves,

captions that presented themselves 

when I took the shot

morph into "bits" of data

and giggle with electric glee

as they anticipate meeting

Y O U.

My laptop was acting weird - possibly infected -

and it seemed I might have to ship it off to my

special computer friend in Seattle!

The sense of 'emergency' was palpable;

YOU folks are my Buds, my social circle!

I can't keep up with all of you

excellent play mates

as it IS!  

Going off line seems like exile!

Well, I spent ALL day yesterday

restoring my Dell to it's factory settings

from the "image" on the hard drive - not a disk.

I installed EVERY Windows7 update,

and re-installed the programs I use

with a nifty, amazing website utility called

NINITE

you really should check it out.

NINITE allows you to check-off multiple programs,

like web browsers FIREFOX & CHROME,

along with PICASSA, and many others including

'clean-ups' like AUSLOGICS,

then Ninite installs them ALL

with one click!

So I'm told that the odds are very good that I've

'repaired my computer.'

Only time will tell.

  My very clever computer helper

(the one in Seattle, who TeamViewers 

over to help me out) fears I might have an

extra-clever Chinese root virus,

and still wants to do a fresh install in-person

(goodbye laptop and friends for a week!)

He has taught me SO much!

Like: 

"Working online is like making sandwiches."

It leaves "crumbs" around your hard drive

and you need to clean up 

after sandwich making.

So I run AUSLOGICS one touch repair/cleanup

and it finds things like Registry Errors,

Start Up Errors

(and the like) fixing them

with the click of the mouse.

So back to internet addiction.

Some play games, others FaceBook

and Tweet

fanatically,

We bloggers create & publish!

We communicate with other thoughtful folks

ALL OVER THE WORLD!

We make friends who we think about

when we are OFF LINE.

Yes, BLOGGER and the Web are amazing.

But sitting right down to the key board

first thing in the morning,

while it uses the richness of recent dreams 

to create,

also denies the body it's 

morning stretch.

Recently, I have started to WALK first thing.

Throwing my legs out far,

swinging my arms,

posture tall, camera ready,

being among others

in AMAZING Waikiki!

Yep, gotta care for the body first.

Don't want to get "POPCORN BRAIN

do you?!

"The worry is that life online is giving us what researcher, David Levy, calls 'popcorn brain' --

a brain so accustomed to the constant stimulation of electronic multitasking

that we're unfit for life offline,

where things pop at a much slower pace." 

Reports  CNN.com.

Chinese research on the brains 

of internet addled youth

have shown actual changes in the brain!

So do spend time in the physical realm; 

care for your dear body.

You'll never catch up with EVERY blog post, every short story,

every WHATEVER!

PUT DOWN THE CLICKER!

(after you leave your comment here,

of course :)

When I thought I might be offline for a while

I panicked.

But a secret little part

rejoiced;

The private little part that likes to walk,

to stare,

to do nothing.

The part (perhaps)

that makes me

"Me."

Are YOU such a 'Me' too?

I love you guys and our circle!

But if you go outside, or far away,

for a week or two

I won't forget you.

So clean up those computer crumbs

and spend some time off line.

*Pop*   *pOp*

there goes my brain - 

time to run!

       What say YOU?   Fondly, cloudia
