We all know the "Sound of Music" song, but how about a list of things that are not my favorite?
On the top of my list is "my debit card gets stolen and someone drains my bank account with purchases to QVC.com, Zappos.com, and more."
Yep, that's right, I'm officially a member of the 21st Century now that I've been a victim of identity theft.
Thankfully, the damage appears to be minimal. It is apparently restricted to credit card (bank?) fraud, and my bank is refunding all the illegitimate charges. The down side is that this happened on the day I had scheduled my mortgage payment to come out of my account, but that shouldn't be a problem. My payment isn't actually due until October, they don't get the check for a while, plus the check is essentially certified, so the result is that, at the moment, my account is simply negative the amount of my payment.
It is inconvenient that I had to spend the time clearing this up, though. I will obviously be very enthusiastic about helping with the investigation.
On another note, I've been informed that comments are not working on the site at the moment. I'm just about to install the new Movable Type 4.0, probably tomorrow, and I hope that will clear up the problem. I'll get back to you on that.
In other news, I've finally gotten to the latest Harry Potter Book. That might have something to do with why MT4 is not being installed tonight.
