Shiny Unicorn

Hi!

I’ve been at Target a lot recently. And I recently discovered they’re selling a rather remarkable lamp. (As demonstrated by me remarking upon it.)

It’s a severed unicorn’s head.

Severed Unicorn Head lamp

It’s a unicorn’s head. As a lamp.

My biggest question, though? WHY ISN’T THE HORN THE LIGHT-BULB HOLDER?!?!?!

Anyway.

Have a shiny, Magical day!

MORE silly security complaints

Hi!

I’ve recently been needing to set up new accounts and things. And some of the new security requirements are ridiculous.

Rather than just making passwords secure (and frankly unrememberable), they’re now requiring security things for USERNAMES.

Like, what?

Anyway. Have a lovely day!

New cultural experience

Hi!

Recently, I was in a Gas-Stop Denny’s more in the South than I’m used to. And in the usual vending machine / claw game cage, there was a NASCAR tire plushie.

I’m fairly sure I hadn’t seen one of those before, much less as game prize.

So, yep. New cultural experience.

Have a lovely Saturday!

Smoothie Devotion

Hi!

So, the Hotel Wifi seems to be working this time. Which is nice.

But that’s not what I’m actually writing about today.

Instead, I wanted to talk about a certain devotion to smoothies. You see, I happen to really, really like the McDonald’s Mango Pineapple smoothies. They’re tart, sweet, fruity, unhealthy… basically everything a perfect smoothie should be.

And so, even though I was really cold tonight, and needed an extra blanket at the hotel, I greatly enjoyed my large mango pineapple smoothie from Mickey D’s.

What silly food enjoyments do you have?

Any allergy meds for computers?

Hi!

My computer DEFINITELY seems to have an allergy to hotel wifi. (I’m beginning to wonder if it has too much sugar for it or something.)

Anyway. Anybody know if any good meds for a computed? I don’t think pouring coffee or local honey onto the keyboard would be helpful.

cell phones are great!

Hi!

Cell phones are pretty nice. My computer is currently dealing with a wifi allergy, and I’m still able to write this post.

Yes, it’s on my phone. Yes, it’s using the data plan. Yes, touch typing a post is inconvenient. But at least it’s possible! Tech is cool.

Have a lovely Tuesday!

Problem with using initials in names

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hi!

So. I was creating a new name/password thing for something online the other day, and I discovered something.

Password AIs can be really stupid.

I was activating stuff, and the password AI grumbled at me when I chose a password. It took me a bit to figure out why. Turns out, if you include a single-letter initial in your name, it gets counted as an actual name. And then some password rules don’t let you include anything that’s you name in the password. So if I used a letter “E” as an initial, I could use no password that had an “e” in it.

As I said, stupid.

p>Anyway, happy Monday!

Test whether fruit is bad by trying it!

Hi!

A bit ago, I discovered I have an interesting tendency where fruit is concerned. If I think a piece of fruit is bad (like a blueberry), I test my hypothesis. By trying it.

Naturally, I’m happier when I’m wrong.

Anyway. Have a lovely day!
