Geeky passwords

It’s kinda sad when my ungeeky users don’t understand the sheer brilliance of the passwords i create for them.

  • c=0.3Gm/s
  • H2O=water
  • Pi<=22/7

Shame regular users can’t type out funny characters. Otherwise π ≈ 22/7  and c ≈ 0.3 Gm/s would be both more correct and more secure. On the other hand, i do occasionally include spaces in passwords but sometimes get weird looks when i inform them their new password “Cheers, matey!”.

One day i’m going to give somebody the password e^(i*phi)=cos(phi)+i*sin(phi) out of sheer frustration. Or eiφcos φ + i sin φ, if i’m particularly nasty. Let’s see how they insert italics and superscripts into their passwords.

I did not know you could cut through 50 mm of concrete with just pressurized water. Or an XBox.

(and no, you don’t cut through 50 mm of concrete with an XBox, you cut through an XBox with a waterjet. Smarty arse)

James Hardy has a set of pages on how to create s, a rather nifty launcher (with pressure-gauged pump at safe distance), and how to equip the rocket with an on-board camera. Nifty. On-board videos included, of course.
