I have obessive compulsive behavioral problems.I don’t wash my hands a lot or count or pick my face(anymore) or tap objects in a ritualistic manner so that the demons watching my every move don’t kill my boyfriend,parents,dog or best friend. My disorder is usually very mild… until I lose something.I think it stems from my childhood because we moved so often and I often lost valued personal possesions during these moves because being so young I didn’t keep track of my stuff or pack that well.
Anyway,therapy session over.Thank the Lord.
Because Yahoo owns mybloglog.com and flickr.com and uses my Yahoo email sign in information to control all 3 accounts, I was locked out of all 3 when I lost my Yahoo password.
Apparently during an enlightened moment I had taken the time to change my username/id from my full name to my nickname and then promptly forgot I’d done so.
And because my Yahoo email for years contained my full name rather than a nickname the old username/id was the one that stuck in my brain.
All my attempts to recover my password were unsuccessful until I remembered the new id,
thanks to the fact that I’d installed Flickr Uploadr, which had me signed in with my correct up to date Yahoo id.
Here’s a funny thing: I was locked out of my online Flickr account but I was still able to upload a new picture to it with Flickr Uploadr (with Web 2.0 you must not use e’s).
Neither my Yahoo email nor those other 2 accounts are all that important to me but the fact that I couldn’t get in really bothered me and wouldn’t let me rest until I could.
All because I was trying to find a picture of the Paris Métro train station sign.Jeez.
Oh,yeah: write your id’s and passwords down somewhere. I know we aren’t supposed to do this but even if you think you can remember it you may blank out like I did and waste 2 hours of your day on top of the 2 hours I was going to waste on Flickr!
