First off: Hello world!  This is my first OPW post and I'm excited to have finally made it over here. I haven't figured out the nuances yet, like if I can tag people or not... but if I could I'd love to tag Boutell and thank him for making this whole thing happen, and Sean (Catbear of LJ fame) for designing the UI-- it's very purty and pleasant.

Anyway: Past Tense Jill wrote Future Forgetful Jill a note on my calendar that says "Cancel your 'Protect My ID' membership today," because it stops having its bill footed by Adobe (remember their little security breach a while back?).  So one of my to-dos today was to cancel my membership to this identity-theft monitoring service.  However, conveniently, just this morning I got a love-letter from Home Depot saying that they had a giant security breach recently and lucky for me I get a free year of ID monitoring through Protect My ID starting today.

So convenient! I wonder if these hackers actually work for Protect My ID and their goal is to get giant companies to buy a zillion memberships for people. :-)

Curious to see if I will have to create a new account or if I can apply the credit to my existing account.

Anyway... thanks, hackers!
