I got four hours' sleep. It's that pesky malware again.
The past two days I've been at war with my computer - well, a better way to put it would be that the computer was a battleground. First off I had the malware Security Shield to contend with, which was a bugger in itself to remove. Yesterday, when I thought all was well and good with my computer, I found something else.
On my crappy old mp3-turned- ( Read more... ) -
Bloody hell. I got something done.
Whew! After a good two hours of work, I've finished the book cover! Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you...

I set no turkeys on fire, I didn't accidentally vaporise the Christmas tree...
I have made like a genius and made a whole bunch of Amazon orders... mere days before Christmas. Consequently, my inbox has been quiet these past few days, save for the odd bit of spam e-mail here and there.

You'd think I'd be warm and comfortable beneath a rock. But there's nowhere for my record player.
In a twist of fate most cruel, I posted a reply to a comment regarding anti-virus (in response to my entry about the recent ThinkPoint conundrum), and immediately afterwards, something popped up.
Damn you, ThinkPoint! Isn't it obvious that you aren't wanted, you pitiful, greasy little bastard? Get off my shiny new computer and perish in a ( Read more... ) -
Synopsis: 'Arcane Mathematics' and 'The Woes of Death'
ARCANE MATHEMATICS and THE WOES OF DEATH are the two stories that make THE CHRONICLES OF STAN. The novel is handwritten this year because my computer is broke (and has been since about June) and I decided that I wouldn't let technology woes dampen the NaNo experience!
"ARCANE MATHEMATICS" - Stan's life sucks. He's a high school student (circa ( Read more... )
