Firefox mobile, and the N900, saves the day

It had snowed 20cm in two hours here in Switzerland, which is a lot. It seemed as if someone had covered my town with a clear, white blanket. The traffic had slowed down to a crawl. I was stuck at the bus stop as all the buses were running very late. My wife called asking me to check the status of a certain important assignment both of us were dying to know the result of. I started saying I don't remember the website password and she'll have to wait till I get home, which could be anytime between 30 min to a few hours. She was quite disappointed.

Suddenly, like a flash of lighting, it struck me. I had Firefox Mobile on my Nokia N900. I fired it up and would you believe it, it had all my passwords stored due to the excellent Weave sync add-on. While talking to my wife on the phone, I logged into the website and told her the status.

Technology, including the N900 and Firefox mobile, saved the day again.
