sweet Arceus it's been quite some time. :I
yeah, i might be more regular if people actually read this shit.
weeeeeeeell. i'll make an excuse real quick (which, mind you, will be entirely true).
my poor, beloved laptop contracted a virus from Arceus-knows-what a week or two ago. it compromised one of the reboot-scripts, therefore making my computer unable to restart all the way. and so my access to it was cut off. The easiest route would have been to scrub it; however, i didn't want to lose all of my files, drawings, stupid screenshots, etcetera, so i performed every other test and repair script i could .... about nine to twelve times each. naturally, none worked.
so i finally went and clicked the factory state restoration option .... and was both relieved and irked. turns out i have that dell datasafe local backup stuff; it made an emergency folder and saved most of my stuff. from there I just waited a half-hour or so for it to scrub, then re-install basic programs, and voila, my computer was saved and i manged to salvage most of my stuff. i spent quite some time going through and restoring old settings, favourites, etcetera, and am still waiting for PerfectWorld to finish installing, but it's all cool now. :D
so yeah. that's my uberlame excuse. have fun with that.
later. or eventually. whichever is more appropriate. -Cat
