Forgetfulness, or Why Integration Isn't Always Good

Moved my jabber server to another physical server, spent week fighting (no that interesting, it's just my lack of python experience) old python 2.3 there to start YIM transport... And forgot my ID at Yahoo!

And of course I forgot the password, too. I just didn't care for more than a year. All my instant messaging is performed thru my jabber account and a bunch of transoprts to other IM networks. I've just set it up once and forgot.

In integrated environments you often forget the details. Write them down, for Heavens sake! Document everything!

Update: restored it. ID was obvious, and having ID I realized I remember password. So always document even obvios things!
