From the top to the bottom

Andy Katz predicts Illinois 2005-2006 to be #24 in the pre-pre-pre-pre-PRE-season top 25. Link

Imagine the shock on my face when I was scrolling down the page, and had to keep scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling to find Illinois. I really haven’t given any thought to next season, although I did walk by Warren Carter (….warren carter *clap, clap, clap*) on the way back from lunch today. I can probably think of 10 or so teams that would give us a run…. but 23? I don’t think so.

Maybe Jon should have used that Catsup bottle at the Hard Rock.

New passwords

Technology, Work April 11th, 2005

While I appreciate them from a security-hat point of view, being forced to change a password is annoying. When CITES expires your NetID password once a year, they send you emails as a warning. A few days into that warning, they interject a notice screen on any bluestem protected apps after you login. I bounce around so many bluestem protected pages in my day, the extra click really bugs me, so I broke down and changed my password. I hate how slow it is to type a new password the first week or so you use it. But, hey, I’m safe!
