Day 335 of Week 48 November 2024

Looking Up

Farewell November 2024!

Warm and windy describes this past 30 days here in the upper westside of Vermont. The weather went back and forth from fall jacket to puffer coat. Thus far, no snow boots have been needed. The higher elevations, some not far away, did have snow fall. 

I keep looking though. Maybe tomorrow a few flakes will be seen out my window.

Have a Cozy & Warm Weekend!

Snow has been in the weather forecast here in Vermont for the higher elevations with possible snowflakes making it to the ground in the Champlain Valley.  Thus, I know there will soon be a time when I look out the window to see snow falling. 

I am bracing myself with a positive attitude by a focusing on the beauty and wonderment of snow as part of Earth's Water Cycle.

Password & Email Maintenance

Clearing out folders, changing passwords, and sorting photos was a monthly event for me that took hours, sometimes days. Files and photos, I feel, no longer require monthly sorting. Maintaining good password health, however, is always a priority.

In the early days of Ebay when, I believe, a lot of people were getting online, a unique password for each website one registered with was popular with some people. (Moi) A one password for all probably isn't a good security system. Writing down passwords in a tabbed address book is an easy way to keep track of that important information. 

Some tips I use for passwords:

1.   Use unique passwords for everything 
2.   Always write passwords in a notebook 
3.   Add date of creation and changes
4.   Never save passwords online
5.   Minimum 12 various characters long
6.   Never use personal information, name, dates, etc.
7.   Refresh by logging in monthly
8.   Note the website for each password
9.   Keep old password books for a few years

Tips for email addresses:

1. Write down email address in the password notebook
2. Categorize email addresses for family, websites, friends, etc.
