think i'll go home. what a crap day.

gotta love it.
sitting at home the other sunday.
get a text message.
who from, who the f'k knows
it contains 2 things that make me think it may be legit, everything else is a list of numbers and letters and other crap.
word 1, hamilton (i work there sometimes), 2nd word, blob, we know what a blob is.
get to work and I have an email, addressed to someone I know who works at that hamilton job.
in it it says your technician will need to do this n that.

no explanation from anyone about anything, no asking if my personal number can be given out. no instruction on how I find instructions on what i'm being asked to do.

i really hate amateurs.

@nadnerB yep, lots of prep stuff before we left.

finally did that trip we were going to do in 2020 in your state of WA. best trip we've ever done. loved every day of it.

did the canning stock route.

took us 21 days to complete the 1800kms. 100 kms in a day was good going.

wednesday morning and the weather looks terrible.

i've been thinking of some not so happy stuff.

been thinking about all my accounts for this n that, that are secured by 2FA and even just passwords.

why? well been thinking about how people that need to, will be able to access my email (mostly) should I get by that bus.

everything goes to my email, bills, insurance, superannuation, contracts blah blah blah.

2FA has made this very hard.

EG, you get hit by a bus, grief and sorrow abound. People that need access, need to get info about your insurances, it gets sent to your email. They don't know your password, your cell/mobile phone has been smashed so they can't use your auth app, if they even know about that stuff.

What a bloody nightmare.

You can make this simpler, but even simple isn't simple enough when you're in mourning.

I'm starting to wind back my 2FA security on some things, life and the devices we take for granted, is becoming way too complex IMO.

@WrCombs Beautiful. How exciting. Hope all goes well.

just bought 3 x 32GB usb3 sticks at the post office. $AU25!

not a bad price me thinks.

went xmas shopping for my wife. mmmmmm. tricky.

emails incoming now.

@RojoLoco hahaha, brilliant.

@travisdh1 I recently looked at changing from LP, but I found they were priced similarly to everyone else.

I'll change my master & banking pwds, but don't think I'll worry about all my pwds.

happy new years eve.
only 7hrs exactly left of 2022.

had a bit of a boozey christmas few days.
worst I felt was the day after I didn't drink anything.

finally got around to cleaning the 4WD after our 6 week trip.
only got back from that 3.5 months ago.
can't rush a good job.

coffee number 2 on a sunny saturday morning on the top floor of a motel in Kew, enjoying the view over the northern and north eastern suburbs.

35 / 100 degrees today.

@RojoLoco speakers in a couch! Not seen that before. My Mum has lights and usb chargers in hers. I thought that was top notch, but speakers go one step further.

@scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Having the house wired up tomorrow, finally. We have two Internet providers (Claro & Teko), one on cable and one on fiber. My office is already wired to the fiber, but we are going to re-route everything so that we have both providers going everywhere. Gotta install a switch in my office and a switch in the middle of the house and put four or five access points up to get coverage.

don't forget your speakers !

@dafyre I actually think i got things working!
a new experience for me
