commotiocordis: Green on black, an animated depiction of a normal heart rhythm on an ECG monitor. (Default)
When you're logging into someplace that you don't log into very often (bank stuff, residence hall stuff, etc.) , they should tell you "this password called for at least 6 characters, at least one each of lowercase, capital, and numeric" so you don't have to spend ages going through and trying every combination of passwords/passwords + numbers/passwords with capitalization you have. Grr.

Edit: So okay, I got this thing to work. Now . . . wishing I hadn't. I don't have a problem with conservative people. If you're decent, we can get along fine. Same with religious people. Three suitemates (out of three--every one of them) that list "Jesus" as one of their favorite things, however, and we may have a problem. As in, I marked on the request form that I wanted people that were okay with "alternative lifestyles", but I also requested a specific section/floor--the honors bit--of one of the dorms, and I'm afraid that the latter overrode the former. I suppose I should have anticipated this, going farther south in Missouri, but I didn't. Shit.

A bit worried there, then. Anybody down there wanna give me a different place to live?

Edit again: And LOL, two/three of them are from Peculiar, MO. (I can't find anything much on the last one. The third, the one I'm actually rooming with, is from Arkansas.) This is hilarity.

Moar: It's interesting that most of these (for lack of a better word) hickville schools don't seem to have as strict of age requirements for entering school as the more urban ones do. I've always been the youngest in my grade forever, simply because my birthday is a week before the kindergarten registration cutoff of August 1st--if you weren't 5 by then (and mum tried to get me in at 4 because I could read and do maths and communicate better than half the people who live in my city and such and they were like "Yeah, we would, but county rules say no," so this is a no-exception type thing), you had to wait another year. I think I'm the oldest of all my suitemates. Tis odd.

So, got the TV guide for next week today. (I've always been puzzled by how early it comes, because it seems like I always lose it before the week actually begins, but whatever.) Check this out. There's some new network called ION under the broadcast section. Its schedule? Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday at 7pm, 8pm, and 9pm, and Thursday at 7 and 8 (I suppose because NBC has it on at 9) are all episodes of ER. And not even old-school reruns, but fairly recent stuff. Oddness. I've never heard of the station, and I'm almost positive that this is the first time it's shown up in the TV guide. We prolly don't get it, though. We don't get a lot of the stuff in there--Univision broadcast would be terrific, but no--though the stuff that we don't get over the air is all in the first 20 or so channels on cable.

LOL, though, at 11 episodes of ER a week just in prime time hours on this one station.

In other news, LAST PRIMARIES ARE TODAY! *geeks politik*
