Quick Update

This has been a difficult month for me. I've come down with a nasty head cold, and a few weeks ago my Toshiba laptop was hit by a trojan virus. The good news is that I have built-in tech support (my DH), so fixing it didn't cost much. It took a lot of time though. We finally had to perform shock therapy on poor Toshi. By that I mean, digging the recovery disk out of the manufacturer's box and using it to wipe the hard drive clean and re-install the manufacturer's settings. Sigh. I did a complete backup first, of course, so none of my writing or personal files were lost.

Now I have a brand new old computer, and I've been laboriously copying my old data files back over and re-installing the programs I like to use. Now if I can only find my copy of Word 2003, I'll be back in business.

This is the first time in my writing life, I can honestly say, "thank heavens I'm not on a tight deadline!"

Watch out for those Trojans. Nasty little buggers. Some people need to get a life!

I'm blogging today at A Slice of Orange about Naming My Muse. Drop by if you get a chance.
