If you can remember when you joined down to the HH:MM:SS, that's
mindblowing. I'd be hard-pressed to be recall the *year* I signed up
for any such sites without writing it down.  If you are writing it
down unencrypted, you have potential security issues there.  But
otherwise, the strength seems sound (although, a dedicated attacker
now knows how to winnow the entire pool of passwords down to a much
more formulaic derivation.
