Of Virii and Bugs

1:43 PM

O tales of woe am I--again, and again. The most recent began when, in an attempt to solve my longlasting Blogger problems and across the board glitchiness of all things Internet, I downloaded and installed a new browser--I don't even want to talk about the havoc it wreaked. Then I bought, downloaded, and installed the latest version of Norton's Anti-Virus software, which I thought went smoothly--you don't want to hear about how wrong I was. Suffice it to say that I soon had an infestation of the Klez worm and other assorted virii rampant in the Cyber environment, and shortly thereafter my whole system was rendered inoperable.

Then, THEN, I caught a bug, some kind of microscopic intestinal-tract creepy crawly that put me down for the count, which is still counting--believe me, you truly do not want to hear about it. I have managed to stagger here to the keyboard to try and post yet another reason for my continued lack of posting to these pages--if Blogger chooses to work at the moment...

Please take care of yourself. Have you considered switching to MT? It changed my life after a year of Blogger Blues. You'll notice that it's the program of choice for most of the Asia group, like Conrad, Brainy Smurf, me, Sinosplice, etc. Blogger simply doesn't cut it. I worked with Sekimori, and they ported my entire site over to MT and all the misery ended. (And I'm sorry if I contributed to your misery by recommending Firefox. I suspect Blogger is meant for IE.) Hope you're back and blogging again soon.
