passwords and McPassion
I've been cleaning up the accounts that I have scattered on various Unix/Linux systems all over the place, backing up files, deleting history(!), changing passwords to something innocuous.
I've for a while now been thinking of blogging my discarded passwords, but am worried that I still have some accounts on long-forgotten sites that use those.
I tend use two passwords at a time, a general-purpose password for everyday use and a root password.
The root password that I'm currently using is _very_ strong so I'll probably keep it a while still.
But I'll retire my current general-purpose password when I start at S1.
Here's a sample of some of the old old passwords that I've used[1]
Also, this is really funny http://www.themcpassion.com
[1] oh well, if some of these still exist I deserve to have those accounts hijacked.

nitapyke (the classic general purpose, certainly not used anymore)
naturalreality (root I used at Prism)
g0crazy (general purpose)
carnival (varsity-era)
