PINs and WSODs

Well, what to say. Exams season. Beating my own record in staying awake for days. Lot of things happening besides, however, that leaves even less time for blogging.
A few days ago, my mobile network operator had some issues when it comes to SMS. (Disappointed in other mobile networks in Serbia, I'm a proud - and mostly satisfied - user of Vip Mobile).
So, I decided to send a couple of messages from my spare number (an old prepaid sim card I've purchased five or six years ago - when Telenor Serbia was stil Mobtel, with the cute number I'm just too sorry to let it die) in a spare phone (a lousy old SonyEricsson K510i). At first, the phone didn't accept the SIM card. After several attempts to reinsert the card, blow the dust, etc, the phone gave me the White Screen Of Death.
Ohkay, whatevah. Not like it was really functional.
So, since then, I'm remembering the stuff that were left in that phone, in order to be transefer to the new one - or to my PC - later on. Nothing important. Maybe a couple of mp3 ringtones and some pictures.
Eventually, this morning, on a forum, I read a topic about credit cars, online payments, etc.
And then it came to me.
Sony Ericsoon phones have a really good function called Code Memo. The user can save various number of codes and stuff and, well, put them all onder one code, not to be readable by strangers.
I used that on my old phone, because I've never been able to remember my payment cards' PINs...
Yeah, you're getting there.
No, it's not that bad - I know my Visa and DinaCard PINs...
I just have no idea how do the codes for my MaestroCard and Visa Electron look like. O_o
However, I don't use them that much... I don't use them at all! But somehow I want to keep all the possibilities opened.
I'm just too lazy to go to the bank. Think I'll have to go to Belgrade for that.
Nah.
WSODs are bitches.
