Okay, I finally am catching up on everything.
The (not so) long version is that my PC got a very nasty infection. Multiple Trojans, multiple viruses… core Windows components (task manager and the login manager to name a few) became unstable, and I had to do some serious work on the machine. New hard drive, new video card, stepped up to Windows 7, and threw in some more memory.
The upside? Machine acts almost new again. The downside? Not only am I having to play catch-up, I’m having to learn how to use a new operating system… and Windows 7 is more like Mac OS X than Windows XP. (Want proof? Here’s a screenshot.) I halfway expect my DVD drive to eject if I drag its icon into the trash. Everything is there… it’s just… different. Even Paint and Solitaire are different.
So, expect the writing to pick up. However, I did lose my bookmarks file during the whole crash-a-rama on the old machine, so I lost 6 months of bookmarks. Note to self: backup more often.
