Oops - spam

Sorry if you got "my" post and/or hotmail spam in the last couple of days. Hopefully you are all savvy enough (and know me well enough) to know that:

a) I really don't care if you buy an iPhone. Do you want one? Enjoy. If not - fine. Do you want to buy ME an iPhone? Now I'm interested.

b) there is no such this as 'shopping paradise'.

I decided to use this (getting hacked..or phished....or whatever the hell happened. I bet I'd know what it was called if I had an iPhone) as a reminder to change all my passwords. It is recommended, for example, that you change your debit pin every three months. Every time I change mine, I get to the checkout at No Frills (who btw, doesn't take VISA) with a million bits of produce and the like, and then proceed to draw a complete blank on the new pin. I try once, fail. Look uncomfortably at the line behind me, then enter the old (faithful) pin that I know damn well won't work. Then I hold up the entire line, shuffling my feet and looking up until I remember. You only get three tries after all.
