Yaris is a punk (2)

Ok, this is nothing new.  We already knew that Yaris is a punk.  But she did something the other day that just…wow.  What a punk.

Horse was rubbing at his face the other day with his front paws and legs.  I often tell him he needs to learn how to clean his face.  I guess he was taking my advice.  At one point, he decided to stand up and continue to rub at his face.  That’s when Yaris came in from the backyard and paused a moment to watch what Horse was doing.  Then she sauntered forward toward Horse, waited for a prime moment, and then head-butted him!  All of these actions were deliberate actions.  At no point did it seem like she was just doing a random string of actions for no particular reason.  She definitely decided to head-butt Horse.  Then she watched him lose his balance and stumble.  At least she didn’t sit down and laugh at him afterward.  What a bully.  Punk.

She was aware that I saw the whole thing too.  But she still came over afterward like nothing was amiss and asked if she could hop onto the couch.  😐

On Yaris and strong passwords

For a while now, I’ve been thinking about changing the way I generate passwords. I had even gone to the point of thinking up a decent algorithm for generating passwords (no, I will not tell you my algorithm, you need to think up your own). But I had been too lazy to actually implement and deploy across…well, everything that requires a password. Well, I finally got around to it recently. Because Yaris is a dog and does not understand basic password security.

I suppose that sounds really strange. Yaris is a dog. Why would she need to know anything about password security? It’s because Yaris is a social princess and wants to keep in touch with all of her friends, who live all over the world. So she uses social media to do that. And recently, her Twitter got hacked.

Yaris actually wasn’t aware of it.  If she was, she didn’t say anything about it, which is another problem.  But I guess it’s partly my fault.  I really should keep a closer eye on what Yaris does online.  But anyway, a mutual friend ended up letting me know that Yaris’ twitter got hacked.  And then I had to do damage control.  I ended up implementing the password algorithm for Yaris’ accounts.  And since I was already writing some code to generate all the passwords for Yaris, I figured I might as well do my own.

Lesson learned.  I can’t let Yaris run around willy nilly on the internet.
