The new passwords are assigned with a script. It randomly chooses 2 three letter words from and list and two numbers. Figures the one guy that gets Toywet43 is the one guy that actually has a lisp and thought I had come up with that password to specifically make fun of him.

None of the words I put in the list it chooses from are anything anyone would get offended by.

Just did that to make passwords easier to remember instead of something like aS7d39Ep so they won't need to write it down.

So, on the way to work this morning this guy is driving like an idiot in his Jetta VR6. We get to a place where the lanes split right before a 4 way stop. I stop and he comes flying up from behind into the other lane. Had he stopped at the stop sign I would have let him get in front but since he didn't I floored it.. I hate people, especially ones that act like idiots.

Going thru my SPAM quarantine saw a message title "Now you can tap 100% of your Brain Power." My immediate thought was a good slap upside the head would easily tap 100%!

We got back and unloaded the computer equipment by 1:30. It is such a big computer and two monitors and the bad mama jama laptop that no way we could get it all there and two of us in the two seat cars we have. It was stupid to drive two cars so I borrowed the wife's Macan for the 74 mile round trip to the National Weather service building. I just did not want to load all that stuff in the back of the El Camino in the heat. No one booed us or threw eggs or nuttin so I guess it went well.

They seemed please and asked lots of questions. Of course we had some egg head college student tell us how he wants to get the data to map the entire campus and make a ultra high resolution 3D model of the campus to tie it to the entire body of surveys and that have of all the utilities and all the info on each building and he wants is accurate to sub centimeter measurements. Of course he figured we should just donate that for the common good or do it at cost. Heck cost alone would be millions and is beyond silly. He figures it should be so accurate they could calculate the slope of every street so the city would be ready to do street work with no new survey. Architects could design new buildings and changes to each building. We really hope he can sell the project to a billionaire supporter and we are ready to get started. Just show me the da money.

We are now set up to do credit cards. We don't get many credit cards except from cities and county governments. I went with the square reader. It does the mag strip cards, the chip cards, Apple pay and even Andoid pay. It will hopefully get little use. I prefer checks, but we can do it now.

You need a big client to test that unit out for you.

Pepper's dog groomer quit taking credit cards making paying a hassle, I rarely use cash any more. She swiped the cards on a plug-in thing on her iPhone and you signed on the iPhone. She said taking cards costed too much. I wonder if that costed more or something.

ok who has a spare couch I need one. The wife informed me that her hair is coming out. I suggested we take her in the backyard and brush it out much like the lab in the spring. She didn't think it was funny. I'm a dead man.

SIL went and got a wig matching her hair and hairstyle before her hair came out. It must have been expensive because you can't tell any difference now than before.

Credit cards are a expensive thing to accept. 2.4% of the transaction if it is swiped on the mag strip or the chip or the Apple Pay and so on. It is 3.7% if they just call us and tell us the number. Oh and if we went with the QuickBooks version they charge the same basic rates, but add 35 cents. I called the bank where we have our account and they have cheaper rates by a little per transaction but the have a $70 per month fee. A retail store with lots of sales would find that a great deal. For us the square is a better deal.
