Omens

[simont]

Yesterday I changed my work password. Today I got in to work, sat down at my computer, and didn't absentmindedly type the old password. A good omen for the day, I felt.

Two minutes later I was forcibly rebooting said computer in the hope that when it came back up it would talk to the network file servers more usefully. So much for good omens.

Wow. I'm not sure it even occurred to me that was a possibility. (Although we haave to change passwords often, so I'm semi-used to it, and invent passwords on a time-based scheme, so can generally get the current password in at most two tries ;))
