Swaeter Season Ahead



Mister cool is reapearing at the Thai Metereological website.
A few days ago the nighttime temperature at my house dipped down to 16C /60.8. The coolest October temperatures I have felt here in the past ten years.

It's a bit warmer for a while with occasional dips in temperatures. 
Still plenty of time to clean and air out the winter bedding.  
Silly me:  
  1. When the outside temperatures are above 35C - 95F, an airconditioner at 15C - 59F feels great
  2. When the outside temperature drops to 15C, then I'm shivering

Protect your E-mail from Phishing

Received this e-mail apparently from Gmail, indicating that I had reached my disk storage limit.
For a moment I was in a panic, but then I looked at the return address and realized it was a phishing attempt.
  • Phishing is an attempt to collect your user name and password

The link provided in the e-mail looked quite authentic, but again the web address obviously was not authentic: 
slg-itc.eu/xc.htm

There are times when you wont even realize that your information has been stolen until severe damage has been inflicted, which may include financial transactions.
Hacked or not, it's important that you regularly change your passwords.
Important to note, it's a problem with all accounts, not just Gmail.
