my "keep" script
#20
their signup form grabbed a password to another site and put it in the new password field, perhaps hoping i would just go ahead and use it.  smart people would highlight it and type in another by default.  this might be another firefox javascript bug.  i have no idea how their code got it.  i'm not good enough with javascript to read it and see what does.  i could not see which password it was since it was displayed with all asterisks.  but it had the length of 12 i use on web sites.  the user name field had "skaperen in it.  i tried it again on another user (i have a couple dozen /etc/passwd users on my laptop that are for me) that had no passwords saved and it did not put one in.

i don't write nefarious code.  i just don't want these people tracking me.  one of the many google recruiters that has emailed me made reference to a few C programs i wrote.  sure, what you have done can help show your qualifications.  but he could not say where he found my code.  if they scrape them from other sites where i put them, well so what.  but i don't want to give them extra clues of thin.gs like where i login from and how often i do that.  lately, i have been using reddit.  i have no idea what they are doing, but theirs do seem to be focusing a bit on my interests.
