Forgotten Tales

Must get back to my FT story telling.
================================

Late last night and this morning I was having a KFSM¹ Party. Jessie Valdez, still miss you buddy, took me there a couple of times. Well now that I have LK's U.A.S.² I made the trip solo. Didn't feel the same but brought back some great memories.

And then to add to it, my good friend, witch and I started chatting. She's a GM today so our encounters are not as frequent as they use to be, which makes them a little more special when they do happen. We chatted about how I was level ±200 when we first met and some other things while I was having my KFSM Party.

Was a great late night last night, good for my SELF!
Thank you J Valdez & witch

All of a sudden Big Brother GUGL decided not to recognize my 8" Philco tablet.

OK, no problem I'll sign in again.

Name: MyNameAtGUGL
Password: YeaLikeI'mGonnaTellYou

Something about "Your name or password is wrong."

SAY WHAT!!!!

So I try again typing ever so slowly so I can "see" each character before it becomes a [·] and I end up seeing:
[··················································]
well maybe not that many, but it was "correct"

"Your name or password is wrong."

BULL FREATHERS!!! GUGL LIES!!!! I try again just as slow to see "password" before it becomes a ·

Tried again ... "Your name or password is wrong."
and again ... "Your name or password is wrong."
and again ... "Your name or password is wrong."

Open gmail on my NEXT 7" tablet and see a bunch of "WARNINGS" where Big Brother GUGL has "BLOCKED ACCESS" from an "unknown device".

SAY WHAT!!!!! I am by now.
THAT IS NOT WHAT THEY WERE TELLING ME ON THE 8"er !!!!
I really cannot believe the audacity of "BLOCKING ACCESS" from a known device. The first Android device I bought that has used the same Name: MyNameAtGUGL and same Password: YeaLikeI'mGonnaTellYou, all three devices have changed passwords a few times, for a little longer than the 1 year, 6 months and 16 days I have been playing FT. Last change was a few months back, and the tablet in question was in use yesterday.

I finally resorted to using my computer and changed my BB GUGL account password and it said the account info has need changed on 3 devices. ... SAY WHAT! GUGL I have 4 devices dam...darn it!...

1. PC
2. Admiral 10"
3. NEXT 7"

• Admiral 8" ««---»» is missing from the list!

OK I fire up the 8"er
It tells me I have been logged out of my BB GUGL Account ... so from: "unknown device" to "logged out"
.... sneaky BB GUGL! Real sneaky!

OK ... Let's try this:

Name: MyNameAtGUGL
Password: YeaLikeI'mGonnaTellYouMyNewPassword

YEA I'M IN!

Gmail has a ton of warning messages, "Unknown Device", "Did You try signing in with this device", "Was this you attempt....", BLOCKED ACCESS" ... etc

Highlighted them all and D E L E T E !!

Same with the other two devices as I have a new password and have to re-login.

Colour me: G R R R R

Have I ever said:

Is it that GUGL doesn't accept apostrophes in the YeaLikeI'mGonnaTellYou password?

Ok, seriously, that suc... sounds bad. Hope your devices are all "known" now!

To apostrophe or not to apostrophe, that is the question.

No, they were legal passwords...

And up until I hit the pit last night all three tablets were "known devices".

Recently I changed my password at my online banking site.

They said new passwords MUST:
- be 8 characters in length or longer
- have at least 1 lower and 1 UPPER case character
- and have a minimum of one special character

I created a 16 character password and all was going well until I typed in: ⁰
Box turned red: WARNING: Character not recognized!

changed it to: æ
Box turned red: WARNING: Character not recognized!

then to: ŋ
Box turned red: WARNING: Character not recognized!

Have no idea what they meant, I recognized them all quite well.

so I guess Ø would have been a no no too!

Hope you get it sorted my mate.

Hi Leone

Yea it finally got sorted. But it took time which really GRRRRR'd me out. It's the second time actually don't know why GUGL does that. Phones seem to be immune to it.

The game worked, intended to send an email and that's when I noticed.

I am not ashamed of being wrong. It's never on purpose today.

I am ashamed by the number of the times I have wronged someone on purpose when I was younger.
I like to believe I have outgrown that.
Forgiven myself and asked for forgiveness where I could.
Was not important if they accepted or not, I fully understand that, but my asking was necessary for SELF!

Hit GUGL with the password being the entire first chapter of War and Peace (which you have cleverly saved in a macro) and watch their servers melt

“Well, Prince, so Genoa and Lucca are now just family estates of the Buonapartes. But I warn you, if you don’t tell me that this means war, if you still try to defend the infamies and horrors perpetrated by that Antichrist— I really believe he is Antichrist— I will have nothing more to do with you and you are no longer my friend, no longer my ‘faithful slave,’ as you call yourself! But how do you do? I see I have frightened you— sit down and tell me all the news.” It was in July, 1805, and the speaker was the well-known Anna Pávlovna Schérer, maid of honor and favorite of the Empress Márya Fëdorovna. With these words she greeted Prince Vasíli Kurágin, a man of high rank and importance, who was the first to arrive at her reception. Anna Pávlovna had had a cough for some days. She was, as she said, suffering from la grippe; grippe being then a new word in St. Petersburg, used only by the elite. All her invitations without exception, written in French, and delivered by a scarlet-liveried footman that morning, ran as follows: “If you have nothing better to do, Count (or Prince), and if the prospect of spending an evening with a poor invalid is not too terrible, I shall be very charmed to see you tonight between 7 and 10— Annette Schérer.” “Heavens! what a virulent attack!” replied the prince, not in the least disconcerted by this reception. He had just entered, wearing an embroidered court uniform, knee breeches, and shoes, and had stars on his breast and a serene expression on his flat face.
