I did a major boo boo earlier today. And I sense my husband is not going to make me forget.

I forgot our home keys when we went out for dinner. And he had no duplicates. And worse, my landlady was away on a holiday. I don’t think what can get any worse than that.

Luckily for us (and me, I should say), my landlady’s son went to her house to feed the dog and we were able to get the duplicate key. Or else, we will be freezing by our door and I’ll be dead meat once we get keys inside.

This has made me think about getting a keyless lock. You know the ones you see at the movies where people use their thumb’s fingerprint to open a door or scan their hand or eye to gain access to another room. Having a keyless lock would be so very cool and hi-tech, as my son would claim. The only thing that is making me reconsider getting a keyless lock for our house is its trial and error. It’s relatively new to the mass market and I don’t grasp the whole idea of fingerprint scanning. What if my fingerprint wasn’t clean on that day – will they eliminate dust particles? What if I have a very general fingerprint – will thieves and burglars be able to “fake” it?

I think I’ll stick to keys this time. And make sure to run triplicates and keep them in every purse I use.

Every year I renew multiple domains and hosting packages for my blogs. I am not a techie person so I had a friend host my multiple blogs so she can install WordPress for me and maintain everything. It is such an easy and hassle-free way for me (worry free too!). What is ironic is that my previous work had me as a technical support for web hosting and development! And yet I am quite clueless with codes and databases. Web Hosting and technical stuff have never been my forte.

In all honesty, I am willing to pay more for what is usually worth for hosting if it means it will 99.9% up all the time and is maintained all through out. Exactly why I got hosting from my friend.

A cousin of mine is a reseller of domain names and hosting packages but his forte is his customized e-commerce carts that are for business owners wanting to set up shop online. Just thinking about makes me head ache.

Why am I writing all of this? Well, since it is the beginning of the year, I actually renewed all of my domain names. There are quite a lot so it sure made a dent in my PayPal account. At least I am comforted that they will be secure all throughout the year so I’m good!
