Yesterday's news. X-posting from Tumblr, not to cause panic, but because for once there is a way of checking if your account happens to be on the list of stolen email address/password combinations...

On July 12, 2012, D33DS Co. released over 450,000 Yahoo! Voices accounts containing emails and passwords in cleartext. Yahoo! Voices service, previously known as Associated Content, is provided by Yahoo! Inc. to allow writers to submit articles that are then distributed to several Yahoo! owned websites including Yahoo! News. The leak was made possible as Yahoo! Voices service was susceptible to SQL injection attack. D33DS Co. is hoping the leak will serve as a wake-up call for Yahoo! Inc. to re-evaluate their security policy.

A fully searchable version of the list — sans passwords — is up on Dazzlepod

There is also a request link on Dazzlepod's site to have your address removed from the viewable list.

~One day I will actually listen to the lyrics of a song before I drive everyone around me nuts humming it. Problem is that it's catchy and I tend to gravitate towards the audio texture before the words. (there's a Britney Spears song - don't judge me - with a passage that starts out with the treble turned right off, then it fades in until it's equalized with the base that is just like candy to the audio parts of my brain... kind of like how catching the light hitting an object a certain way just takes my breath away and demands a photo be taken)

Or, you know, my husband telling me "You know that Mumford and Son's album, half the songs are about death, right?"

Um....

~Starting to get the hang of Tumblr. Sort of. Except for the part with the animated gifs that make my eyes cross and I can't find a way to make them stop moving. (I'm ADD enough without things flashing in my peripheral vision) I am getting too old for this internet thing...hey look! Shiny thing!

~My Fringe DVDs have crossed the border (which makes it sound like they snuck across in the dead of night and under threat of deportation). And my order from MEC is on its way. I love online tracking, except for the part where it's addictive and I keep hoping that if I hit refresh just one more time, TODAY will be the day that my packages will leave the distribution centers and show up in my mailbox.

~On Sunday, it was 29C. This morning it was -2C. With frost. Am currently wearing wool socks. (which I like, don't get me wrong). I'm just not ready for this insta-fall weather. And I can't find my ice scraper for my car.

~Celebrated our 10-year shacking up anniversary at the end of last month. I love living in a country that will legalize just about anything as long as they can figure out a way to get more taxes out of you.
