rob to the internets: "oh noes!"

7 years ago, upon joining the faculty of Engineering, I was astounded that I somehow managing to get the illustrious e-mail address of rob-at-engr-dot-mun-dot-ca. I'm not sure why some other "rob" at the university didn't soak that up before me.

Since I graduated 2 years ago, I have forgotten my password and haven't been able to check my mail at this address. That is, until today. I noticed that I have Mozilla Thunderbird installed on my account on my parents old computer. Astounded, I fired it up. Ah-ha! It has retained the password, and allows me to view it! I would think this would be a significant security risk, but low-and-behold, version 1.0 of thunderbird will give you any entered passwords!!

Oh yeah, here is the downside of not checking your mail for about an epoch and a half:

I was also delighted to find that Thunderbird had stored my Aliant password which I had long forgotten and couldn't set up on my new laptop..
