Step 1 – Passwords

If you have not set your passwords yet, do it now. You must select a strong password that you can remember. If your password is too short it will not be effective. In order to have a long password that you will be able to remember use passphrases instead of passwords.

I was pissed, I knew only jackasses ate plain cheese pizza. After pacing back and forth for 15 minutes I decided something must be done. I walked back inside with a plan in my head and a pizza in my hand.

This is how the brat pizza came to be:

  • One plain cheese pizza
  • One frozen Johnsonville brat sliced up
  • One-half of an onion sliced up
