Wish-it-was two-factor authentication

9 March, 2008

In order to print out a tax form, I’ve just had to go through some silly security question rigmarole with my online bank. The wish-it-was two-factor authentication is getting quite out of hand these days. They are really desperate to give the appearance of security. In addition to displaying a…

Nostalgia corner: teletext

23 April, 200823 April, 2008

I want to share with my US readers a little known thing (at least over here) that goes by the name of teletext. This was (still is) a system in the UK that was sort of like the Internet before the Internet. Way back in the 70s the BBC invented…

should I tell them?

I used one of my local open wireless access points to download some stuff on my laptop. Actually, just enough to get the wireless card working with WPA. Should I tell my neighbours to secure their AP?

    He's GORGEOUS. Lovely to see pics of the newly-expanded Deane family. Wish we could come round with a big shepherds pie, give you all hugs and do the washing up. The thought is there! Emily xxx

    Yes – I am very proud of her. Labour was intense – waters broke at 5.30am Tuesday, went to hospital at 5.30pm, laboured overnight and into Wednesday, and stage 2 (fully dilated – pushing) started around 2pm. After 3 hours of pushing, he wasn't coming out. He never turned from OP (head down, but facing forward rather than backward) despite everything we'd done before and during labour, so a c-section was the final option.

    Oh and did I mention that she didn't have any pain meds for the whole labour (except finally an epidural the c-section, obviously)?

    The only meds during labour were antibiotics, which is normal when labour starts with water breaking, especially if it goes long.

    What a heroine – good on yer Becky for doing it on endorphins alone! As a fellow “prolonged second-stager” (I too pushed for 3 hours while my son failed to get the hint and get moving) I salute you. These big bouncing boys with Cambridge-compsci-sized brains… what can I say!! They need a big skull to accommodate that much grey matter – unfortunately for us mummies 🙂
