Word to Your jxcvhwp

I find it demeaning that I have to enter that dumb little code word thing every time I want to post a comment on my own blog. First of all, if I'm already logged in, why do I need to verify it's me? That's like asking me to show my ID before I enter my house, then asking me for it again when I'm inside. Hello...it's my own house. I can understand requiring it for other people posting on my blog, or when I post on someone else's blog, but my own? C'mon, I already told you I'm on like the George Burns of computers here...cutting out any unnecessary steps would be appreciated.

Also, it's not my fault that half the time they print that code word in some unreadable font and I can't tell if that's a 'u' or a 'v,' or a 'c' or an 'o,' or an 'i' or a 'j.' So then I have to run through the code-word-entering process like five times, until they finally give me a legible font. WTF?

I have similar feelings about logging into hotmail. For some reason, they won't just let you type in your account name, you have to add @hotmail.com. Well duh, seeing as how I'm logging into HOTMAIL, I would think the @hotmail.com is implied. Sorry, I was mistaken, I thought we were in the year 2006. As in, THE 21ST CENTURY. Ridonculous.

Alrighty, that's my rant for the day. By the way, did you know "alright" is not actually a word? It's "all right." File that gem away for future reference. But first, please enter the code word.

I dislike the word verification. However, I dislike the strange autospammers even more. I just wish I could read the dang wv things.
The hotmail login is a new stupidity. The @hotmail.com used to be on there, but one of the new "improvements" (like the Brit-brit air quotes?) eliminated it.

I knew about "alright!" Whoohooo

Same with "alot." Phoey.

The worst it when they ask for word verification and it's SO LONG and I'm either tired or drunk. It's like someone is playing a mean trick or something.
