3/8, that’s really bad. I’ve almost never been in a situation where I need the other information immediately. So I guess i’m good, for now..

So far as SSN goes — that’s one advantage of being in the military. We use it ALL the time. And have a habit of keeping an intact ID on us. I was shocked the first time I had my civilian cousin over to visit back when I used to live in on-base housing. Things that some of us take for granted (knowing our SSN, having our registration/liscence/insurance in the car for inspections, etc.) a lot of people really don’t always have with them — or even know where they are. It was a pain in the ass getting him on base.

I don’t know about keeping all my important info on the web — 1) what if you’re in a place where there’s no web access (i.e., break down in the middle of New Mexico whilst driving cross-country). 2) Security — I’m just crazy paranoid – if its online, someone can break into it. Personally, I’d just keep it in the PDA itself.

As far as phone numbers for grocery stores — your *own* usually works just fine (we do it all the time at Safeway). I wouldn’t doubt someone would put that phone # up, but then you normally have the user information (name) come up on the screen. First off, the cashier would be suspicious (or at least humored, probably wouldn’t care anyway), and what if the person w/ that number is of the opposite sex? “Tammy? Your name is Tammy?” the cashier says to a tall, balding man with a handlebar ‘stache…. I can see it now.

I use a simple number substitution code for PINs, access codes, etc as text files eg 1=t 2=n 3=m 4=r (…classic mnemonics system, but make your own) so that even if accessed/hacked, will be difficult to decipher

No self-respecting geek would fail to know their IP number(s). It’s not even something you consciously memorise, you just KNOW it, like you know your name

I have memorized a lot of information. I know my closest friends’ cell numbers, addresses, account numbers, passwords, etc. All the stuff I would need when someone stole my computer or cell phone or in case of a disaster. I am using Tony Buzan’s techniques. It’s so much fun to have all that info in my mind.
