::Sigh:: I hate viruses.

I go to class this morning and learned that a worm was attacking the J: drive. This is painful because this drive is where our personal files are stored. All my graphics and programming work lives in that disk.

Our Graphics teacher lost several years worth of records and work. A fellow student lost an assignment. The virus decided to move in on my .EXEs for Programming and bred like nothing. The thing ate almost all of my disk space overnight. I had to clean it out and spent 3.50 on a CD-RW to back everything up.

On a lighter note, Multimedia quote for today:
"I study the science of Multimedia, but I trust the science of Centrum"
-Digital Domain Teacher.

Aw! Rachie needs a hug!

*huggles*

Just remember, things could always be worse. It could have been all the hard drives. Then what would you be doing. Daddy thought it was funny, that you out the AIM conversation online!

Tootles!

I think you're missing my point. Laura put it nicely and bluntly here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/urufudo/104254.html) (beware of foul language). I don't like spending 5 bucks and part of class cleaning up crap caused by a dork who thinks he or she is cool because they put a virus on a computer. The damage caused to Ray Baker alone is insane and I could have used that money in better ways.

The J: drive serves as a storage drive for the college. The programs exist on the other drives, which, I might add, have been hit with viruses for the better part of this month. Whoever is causing these problems is going to die by my hand. I have a bounty out for them already.
