			<h1>Reaching out to John Fiebiger</h1>
			<p>Day 00091: Saturday, 2015 June 06</p>
		</header>
<p>
	John Fiebiger, the guy who registered an eBay account using an email address at my domain, attempted two password resets today, but they were unsuccessful due to his registered email address really being mine.
	He then proceeded to send the email address he used two blank letters, each from a different email account.
	I used both email addresses to reach out to him, offering to change the eBay account email address to his so he could perform the password reset and claim the account.
	All I asked is that he let me know which email address he wants the account transfered to.
	I hope to hear from him soon, but for all I know, my letters to him could be in his spam box even if he did want to read them.
</p>
<p>
	I received a &quot;happy birthday&quot; message from Straight Talk today, so I decided to investigate.
	I logged into my account, and it seems that Straight Talk thinks my date of birth is 1998-06-06.
	I don&apos;t know why I would have entered that value.
	It&apos;s not my actual date of birth and I usually enter a bogus date occurring on January first of some year.
	Strange.
	This value on the account cannot be modified either, though the name on the account <strong>*can*</strong> be.
	At least, according to the page&apos;s markup, you can&apos;t.
	After fiddling with Iceweasel&apos;s options a bit, I managed to remove the <code> disabled=&quot;disabled&quot;</code> from the input fields, and set my birthday to 1900-01-01.
	The server should not have accepted it, as Straight Talk clearly did not want this modified, but it did accept it.
</p>
<p>
	My mother insisted that I not bring my insurance information to the eye doctor, and said that she would do it when she went in later that day.
	When I next saw her, she informed me that it turns out that neither my sister nor I are covered for any vision-related work, and that she had thus canceled my appointment.
	Canceling my appointment on me saves me the trip to go do it myself as I would have otherwise done, but it&apos;s kind of unnerving that she was <strong>*able*</strong> to cancel the appointment.
	Does that mean that anyone that knew when, where, and under what name my appointment was could cancel it on me? I suppose that&apos;s better than the alternative, a thorough identity check being needed for me to manage my own appointment, but it could lead to trouble in some cases.
</p>
<p>
	I legitimately did not have time to answer email today due to an unexpected several-hour trip.
	Maybe tomorrow.
</p>
<p>
	My <a href="/a/canary.txt">canary</a> still sings the tune of freedom and transparency.
