Finally chosen my new wallpaper for my room. Was a pain to find, cause i wanted something which would go well with my signed pictures. Now, i just have to prepare for the major change in my room, with everything coming down.

Woohoo, I'm almost finished with cleaning my kitchen. :dancing:

Simon · 29 Dec 08 :: 20:23

I ended yesterday with a virus on the laptop. No idea where it came from. It just appeared. I spent till 1am getting all the files i want off and beginning the laptop from fresh. It is kinda nice having a fresh laptop for a new year. The only problem is i have no Microsoft Office for the next week. At least being a ICT technician, i don't have to pay for expensive software.

TeeJay · 29 Dec 08 :: 20:29

That's definitely a nice plus, Simon (about the software). I know all about starting fresh. Good thing I have image backup software. Makes things so much easier to return to a full installation image rather than having to do Windows from scratch.

You're not still using Internet Explorer, are you Simon? If so, make that switch to Firefox with AdBlock Plus and make sure you've got good anti-virus & anti-spyware programs running.

TeeJay · 29 Dec 08 :: 20:35

You'd think Simon would know that, being an ICT technician, wouldn't you?

TheCentralScrutinizer · 29 Dec 08 :: 20:51

I don't know what an ICT technician is.

Simon · 29 Dec 08 :: 20:53

Basically someone who fixes PC related equipment.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 29 Dec 08 :: 21:05

OK. They're called IT techs here. What's the C stand for?

Simon · 29 Dec 08 :: 21:23

Communication i think. To be honest, i'm not the smartest person on it and only doing it till i start University in September.

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 30 Dec 08 :: 08:53

I'm sorry your computer got a virus, Simon. You should get symantec antivirus. It's a really good virus protector.

TeeJay · 30 Dec 08 :: 10:10

Or Avira AntiVir, if you wanna go with freeware.

Not that anyone probably cares, but I got good news for the first time in months yesterday. Shawn saw Liam over the weekend and said his motor skills are getting better and he feeds himself now, he can also say a few words and he's learning to walk. He's also getting really big.

He throws extremely violent tantrums though. He can't tell anyone if it's because he's a toddler and has his mother's temper or if he realized something's changed and he wants it back.

Simon · 30 Dec 08 :: 20:08

My McAfee is actually pretty good, it's just this virus came out of no where. The day did get worse since my last post on here. Laptop messed up again, and i restored, and messed up again, and it continues. I'm gonna have another go later tonight, but i'm wondering if the virus has infected the laptop that bad that it won't work. I'm going through so much worry atm.

I'm glad you got some good news, Laura. (And I do care about that!)
The tantrums don't sound that good, though. I can imagine it's hard to see him going through something like that.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 30 Dec 08 :: 20:39

That is excellent news, Laura. Hope he continues to improve. Maybe he's having his "terrible twos" tantrums a little bit late. Don't ever doubt that we care around here. Especially after all those chats and all you told me about him, I care.

magicalturkey · 30 Dec 08 :: 21:10

He's always been able to tell you when he wasn't happy, he'd launch himself backward into something, mostly to get away from whatever he didn't like. He's apparently doing it a lot harder now though and doing it if he hears something. The good news is that means he's getting stronger... bad news, he can hurt himself or do some kind of serious damage something else.

He still has about three months of being two left. So the terrible twos aren't so much late as awkward timing.

I know you guys care... I probably shouldn't have said that. I've just kinda fallen off the planet lately.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 31 Dec 08 :: 02:45

I have 5 glorious days off in a row! And no plans. There are things I want to do, but nothing I have to do --- knock wood. The coolest part is that I got my end of the year bonus earlier than expected so I won't be broke.

I know how you feel, Simon. My computer had to be fixed a few weeks ago and it's happened to me more than once.

TeeJay · 31 Dec 08 :: 10:22

That's great news, Laura. So glad to hear it. Hope Liam continues to get stronger.

Simon, I hope you can get your laptop fixed. That's always a pain in the neck if things don't work and you have no idea why.

Deb, I wish you five very productive and relaxing days.

Simon · 31 Dec 08 :: 15:29

I did another factory restore and it seems to be behaving itself now. I just need to collect some software from work on Monday and it would be all back to normal. Hopefully, there isn't anything deadly lurking somewhere.

I always came to this site first when it was up and working again each time, cause it's the only place that makes everything seem normal. Now i can finally enjoy the remainder of my week off.

justme · 31 Dec 08 :: 21:43

I'm glad you got it working. Hope it stays that way!

Simon · 01 Jan 09 :: 01:47

I hope it stays the way too. It has really made my week terrible, as i've spent most of the time worrying about it, even after it seems to be working. I don't think it would feel right till next week, when i have it all back to normal, with everything back on it. Anyway, enough about me.

justme · 01 Jan 09 :: 03:55

Oh, I know just what you mean! When my computer or internet connection is messed up I feel like I'm cut off from the whole world.:o I just hate it!

TheCentralScrutinizer · 01 Jan 09 :: 04:15

Me too.
