<p>Many moons ago when I was 14 years old I was put on a work experience placement thru my school.</p>
<p>I was placed at a &#8220;technology company&#8221; who made expensive measuring devices for high industry.</p>
<p>They had tons of computers in their office (probably one of the first to do so considering this was like 1987.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve always been fascinated by networks, the internet and passwords.</p>
<p>Blame the movie &#8220;War Games&#8221;.</p>
<p>So anyhoo &#8211;</p>
<p>I got into this office and &#8220;hacked&#8221; into someone&#8217;s computer by guessing her password (her pet&#8217;s name).</p>
<p>I was giddy with excitement and drunk with power.</p>
<p>I emailed every employee in the company an email saying &#8220;This is pants.&#8221;</p>
<p>Oh boy.</p>
<p>That didn&#8217;t end well.</p>
<p>The lesson?</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t let a 14-year old alone with a networked computer&#8230;</p>
<p>And also;</p>
<p>If you want something guarded well then make sure you use a really secure code.</p>
<p>Like all the millions of bucks hidden in internet marketing;</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a super secure code to get access to it.</p>
<p>And it&#8217;s not my pet&#8217;s name.</p>
<p>You wanna know what the code is?</p>
<p>The answer is;</p>
