for some reason, i went to check out my old account at a korean web portal site where i hosted my immature homepage (never finished, in fact) for free 5 years ago. my account ‘froze’ due to no login for the past x months. again, all emails deleted. life management in the world of scattered digital traces is difficult, especially when you tried to do it for free.

in the same site, i wanted to check/change my personal information. took me 5 minutes to locate the link to do so. not sure if i am getting old or estranged from the conventions of the korean websites. it could be simply because of my lack of survival tactics that any koreans would accumulate on the subconscious level naturally over time of repeated usage. i wonder how much usability personnel these companies hire. point is, the more i know, i realize how difficult it is to master the art of being simple.

read the bit about paris hilton’s tmobile account which obviously synch’ed with her phone got hacked. of course if she was nobody, no one would have given a damn. but unfortunately her special career and celeb status has given every tiny bit of her personal information the status of ‘worth gossiping about’. whether this leak was a true hack or not, i hope the operators would learn it hard.

i have started to accumulate the unconscious stress about the scattered digital forms of my traces SOMEWHERE that i no longer remember or care about. its purely for sanitary reasons: you clean after you use the toilet. i dont know how long it will take to see a personal digital caretaker as official job title - but till then, got to take care of where i shit [digitally].
