Yet another thing that I forgot to tell you all!

I have a PC now, have had it for a while, in fact. My Dad cobbled it together out of parts we had sitting around. It's good for writing - I have Scrivener on it - and it's good for games like Spore, Minecraft and stuff.

( However, long time readers will know that I have never had luck with computers... )

The snow has all been washed away. For the past few days the weather has been bi-polar. On Friday, just when we thought it was all thawing out, it suddenly started snowing again and we must have gotten about six inches at least - I walked Jason to the bus stop in it, Ashley came as well and we larked about a bit while waiting, throwing snowballs at ( Read more... )

Just letting you all know my WiFi at home is playing silly buggers. It just messed up last night and hasn't been working properly since. Being new to the art of WiFitsu, I don't know what the hell is wrong; hope it'll fix itself soon!

In the meantime, looks like I'll be back to typing up entries in Semagic, saving them and posting them when ( Read more... )

Contrary to popular belief, I am still alive. I've been alternating between typing entries in work and e-mailing them to myself, and simply scribbling them into a notebook I bought recently. So there are journal entries to come.

The lack of actual updating comes from two things: firstly, work has kept me busy (particularly yesterday, when the ( Read more... )

Blimey! 23 infected items so far! I hope to god the scan is over soon because I want to get this bloody computer sorted out and then get some sleep.

Funny, isn't it, how I happen to discover all this malware late at night? When dealing with viruses, I follow the 'kill it before it kills you" school of thought... so I must stay up attacking it ( Read more... )

These malware infections are like the random battles on Final Fantasy 7. Only not as frequent and ten times more annoying.

Yes, I will probably shut up about that game eventually. Some time soon? Probably not.

I was almost - almost - expecting this stupid malware to prevent me from posting using Semagic, claiming that 'OMG ITS DANGERUS PROGREMZ'.

I was even prepared to, in the face of said claim, shout 'OH NO YOU DIDN'T' and then throw the bastard out of the nearest window. But the claim was never made and so no windows were harmed.

Except, maybe, ( Read more... )

So I think I have another malware thingy on my computer. WHERE THE HELL DO THEY COME FROM. There I was, happily browsing the Internet (or as happily as a TalkTalk user could browse, at any rate) when suddenly BOOM! The browser closes, and when I try to open it up again I get a pop-up saying 'install Vista Home Security 2011 OR DIE'. See, the thing ( Read more... )

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... )

Dear Hotmail,

Let me access my e-mails. Please. I want to go to bed.

P.S. By 'access my e-mails', I mean load.
