TastyTrade: “Account locked due to excessive failed login attempts”

Not sure if any other people who have TastyTrade profiles are getting these account locked messages (Doesn’t look like it’s widely reported if at all). Really unsure what those people whom are trying to gain access are even hoping to find. I don’t even have any money with TastyTrade let alone an active trading account.

Had contacted TastyTrade support before about the alleged repeated attempts to gain access but found the response a little non-committal instead assuring me that my profile was somehow safe. Recalled they declined my request to delete my profile/account with them for some reason I’m not quite clear about.

If a TastyTrade Rep would like to contact me to discuss the matter, they are welcome to. For now, I’m not going to waste anymore time – Have resorted to filtering the messages.

Personal homepages are a thing of the past

The web has evolved. I know of very few people other than myself who still maintains a regularly updated personal website. Seems almost everything personal including hobbyist topical sites have gone the way of Faceborg Pages / Groups and other social media sites

Looking to gradually reduce my activities on this blog in due course. I don’t know who outside of my immediate friend base and social circles are really interested in any of my thoughts anyway. Will be aiming to keep a lower profile and begin reducing my online footprint.

With that said, this domain isn’t for sale as I plan to continue using it.

Auckland Funnel Cloud

Funnel cloud spotted from Grand Drive, Remuera as I was nearing home yesterday. First time I’ve ever seen such a thing with my own eyes. Thankfully it never developed into a fall blown twister / tornado.

Admittedly, I was initially concern that it was headed for my home. Turns out the thing was quite a bit away fortunately (out in the Harbour). The formation did resemble almost precisely the tornadoes I’ve been repeatedly seeing in many of my apocalyptic dreams.

Pre-recorded Robocalls promoting the National Party

Had my early afternoon lunch interrupted by an Automated Robocall from a number listed as 09 950 8820 with a pre-recorded messages purportedly from Christopher Luxon and the National Party urging me to vote for them. Too late anyway as I had already voted that very morning.

I don’t know if this was someone else trying to frame the National Party or something else. But if the National party did endorse this, the Medium is the message here, receiving automated calls like this conjures images of scammers.
