Computer death…

My HP mini bit the dust–thanks to a virus or two caught in Korea. They completely destroyed my computer and I had to uninstall everything back to factory default… so that now I can reload all my software etc. So, I am struggling with that constantly right now. The virus compromised our network and so I was up for 24 hours resetting everything. (be careful of trojan.zefarch and trojan.gen… together they are completely destructive… the most destructive I’ve seen in a long time. Despite having a firewall and internet security package (from Norton), and despite having the Norton tech remotely connect and attempt to fix my poor computer… it was a complete wash-out…)

I hate virus programmers. I also hate Windows for being so vulnerable to these kinds of attacks.

I’m trying to work on photo galleries for my Korea trip (to add to this site) but I haven’t found a decent plug-in yet. I’ve been working on a couple, but just can’t get them to work how I want them to. I might just forgo it all together and choose the best photographs from each week and make post for each. Seems much less bothersome than fighting with these codes and poorly designed templates. I’m sure they work if you have the bajillion hours to invest in setting everything up-which since my computer died-I don’t.

I am actually very behind on a lot of things. I have work to complete for a professor of mine (paid work–which all got infected and thus destroyed along with my computer), a 10 page paper to write, left over from last semester, and I start classes in less than a month!!!! Eesh!

Well, here are a couple of the last photographs:
