Posting from the computer lab.

Thank God I brought my external hard drive: the virus is a nasty one, and the computer has to be wiped. Good vibes and support would be appreciated.

It's now my belief that those who write computer viruses should be eaten by weasels.

Half awake.

My computer is back and functional. I still need to reinstall a few programs, mostly some chat stuff - old hat at at this point, really. It's getting kind of absurd. Recreating my music library is becoming something of a hobby. And the first person who suggests a Mac or Linux PC because those don't get viruses is going to be treated to a cavity search by Edward Scissorhands.

Due to a mix-up on my own part and through no fault of the computer tech people, I lost some random stuff on my desktop and all my Firefox bookmarks. This means that, one, it's time to make use of my del.icio.us account, two, I should go ahead and buy those two albums, and three, thank God I sent someone the previous draft of my Big Bang fic since rewriting 500 words is much easier than recreating 5000.
