Strong passwords are a bitch to come up with, but become a lot easier with this simple rule below.

Need to turn a password you can remember in your head into one that looks like you could never remember it – or the person looking over your shoulder?

Keep your usual password if you need to; just move your fingers over one  space on the keyboard to the left or right.

If you want a secure password without having to remember anything complex, try shifting your fingers one set of keys to the right. It will make your password look like gibberish, will often add in punctuation marks, and is quick and simple.

• password => [sddeptf
• letmein => ;ry,rom
• money => .pmru
• love => ;pbr

It’s not as good as going for a complex strong password but it’s probably stronger than what you have now.

Every day at work I listen to internet radio from di.fm, either the techno, classic techno, or minimal channels are sure to give me something I want to hear for a few hours.

Today I heard a techno mix by “technics2000″, looked him up and found his blog where I didn’t quite get the mix I was after but he has a shiteload of other mixes that are cool, I am listening to the vocal house vol1 while I update my laptop to vista SP2.

Another artist I heard today is Tadox, although that will be too hard for some of you :), some MP3s are there for free too. Remember the good old days of audio galaxy when you could search for almost any music and find it on mp3…

Wonder when my new keyboard will arrive from china for my Dell 1520 after I spilled some Beer on it one night, managed to flip it over quick enough to save the bits inside but a sticking enter key can be a bit distracting :), ebay is the best place to buy little tech bits n’ pieces.

Edit: next day, and I find myself remembering I like the Classic Rap channel too!, I like listening to this while painting the house…
