Technology Fail...

One of my email addresses was hacked a few days ago and sent a link to all my contacts. Thankfully, I didn't have to many contacts in my address book; I typically memorize anyone I have to email regularly from that account (it's mostly just one I use for PayPal and other stuff). So I changed my password, ran two virus scanners (both clean)...then tonight decided to delete the remaining addresses in my book there. Just in case, right?

Of course, I have no fucking clue how to navigate Yahoo most of the time--I went to my contacts, selected them, and deleted them.

Coincidentally, this email address is also my YIM handle. And what did I manage to do? Delete the forty odd people I have on YIM (which I use mostly for work).

Le sigh.

So, to save my memory and patience--IF you are one of my YIM contacts, please add me back. Same old handle, which I won't repeat here 'cause I don't need the stalkers finding me. :-P

It's 4am--I really should be in bed and not messing around with stuff...

i so tired it be real long day

Comments are moderated. I have a strict policy of No Douchebaggery and/or Trolling. You're free to disagree with anything I say, but your comment may or may not see the light of day (depending on the content of your comment and my particular mood). Any blatant trolling is immediately deleted with the offender's ISP info added to a personal file called In Case of Trouble.

I go through comments as often as possible but receive a ton of spam, so please be patient if your non-douchebaggy comment hasn't gone through yet--if I don't know you, you're not on my auto-publish list so I have to check by hand. And if you're a troll with nothing better to do than try to pick a fight with me, for the love of god, at least learn how to fucking spell.
