keep your sensitive information very private

1:48 am is a bad time of night to realise you’ve lost that clipboard with passwords and possibly other sensitive information on it.  gyah… anybody seen my green clipboard?  I wonder what other nuts stuff is written in there, could be anything really, and best as well consider that the whole world has that info, now.  Those parties affected will be notified directly, within minutes.

I’m going to consider this as an opportunity to demonstrate my damage control skills, and as an important reminder to take much more care keeping such pertinent information entirely to myself. I suppose the best way to learn a lesson like this, is to be in the midst of trouble, but hopefully others don’t follow down these footsteps; I wish I had learned in a different manner.

One method I’m considering, is writing new passwords in vegetable based ink on my body, ensuring that it fades away after a number of days, in which time I should have remembered it.

Imagine the agents that might be sent out to covertly procure that info!
