The Asgardian ep of Agents of SHIELD

Just watched it and...

Spoilers behind cut



...unfortunately, it was just as dull as all the other episodes. The only bit that made me sit up and pay attention was when Sif made a point of saying that Odin (ie. Loki) had insisted she bring Lorelei back alive. This possibly suggests that Odin Loki needs Lorelei for something nefarious or other.

Lord, I hope that's not going to be the plot of the next Thor movie. Odin Loki sics Lorelei on Thor just to make Jane miserable?

Well, if they do do that, I hope they recast Lorelei. Didn't like this actress at all.

Apart from that, I've no idea what was going on and don't care. Not even about Coulson.

ETA: I suppose I should set about changing all my passwords. Don't wanna. :(

I really have nothing whatsoever to add to this conversation since I'm not watching the show. But I thought I would say hi anyway. Hi! Why do you need to change your passwords? Because of the heartland virus? It's starting to feel like it's just impossible to stay ahead of this stuff anymore. Somebody needs to invent a new technology or software that will stop this madness.

Yes, it's because of the heartbleed thing. Apparently, it's a big problem, but now most of the sites I use (including this one) have patched/fixed themselves, it should be okay to change passwords.

I'm going to have to write them all down or I'll never remember them.

You may or may not want to try this option -- if you only have 10 or so you use with any frequency then probably not. In my case I have around 100 so another solution is needed.

But password management software can be incredibly helpful. I use Last Pass, which is free, and among other benefits it gives you the option of running a security check on your accounts (just takes a click). That way if any breaches have happened lately at those sites it can advise you if a password reset is needed.

It was really helpful to know which of my many accounts was at risk due to Heartbleed, which ones I should still wait on before changing, etc. And it even spotted that Mike's email had been posted publicly as part of a Yahoo breach last year. (He decided to sign up for an account himself after that).

There are other services that do the same thing but as this is the only one I've used I can only talk about its features. But I can say that since I started using it, I'd never want to go back to tracking all these myself.
