And to top it all off

 

 

Given the current state of multiple problems in my life
as I know it, this was NOT what I needed today.

 

After taking off the recently made totally annoying verification
on the blog, I added a new post last night,
turned my machine off, went to bed,

 

Apparently google didn’t like that I dropped verification
because they shoved the “verification” idea right in my face.
I got up this morning to a message from google
saying I’d put in an incorrect password and they’d closed my account and taken my blog down until I “verified”.  

What does that mean??
I was asleep.  I didn’t put in any password.

 

For them, Verify means that they send you a little screen
to put your phone number in and then they call you
with a verification code. 
HUH?

 

How do they know the phone number they send the code to
is the right person?

 

I just sighed and went through the drill and just
hope
that my machine isn’t compromised somehow.

 

Google is beginning to feel like Microsoft as another
 big brother in one’s life.

 

In any case, if you tried to read my latest post
and couldn’t, that’s why.
If you’d still like to read it, it’s below this one.
