The Swine Flu Infected My Computer February 26, 2010

Posted by Emily in : Photography, Thoughts , 6comments

I downloaded a virus.

I was just minding my own business, doing a little search on google, and BAM!

I was infected.

I know! I want to die!

I’m not sure how this mean little Trojan horse got past my anti-virus software, but David and I had a few loud words to share with Avast!

The only program this virus seems to have infected is PHOTOSHOP.

Now, I REALLY WANT TO DIE.

Photoshop to me is like texting is to a teenager girl.

It’s almost as important as my RIGHT hand.

I use it everyday. My classes require it. My work requires it.

So, I’ve obviously felt a bit handicapped since this nasty virus decided to destroy my life.

Today David is stripping our hard drives, and re-installing EVERY PROGRAM.

This is going to take a hundred years. I just know it.

But, now we will officially be using Windows 7 (we’ve been using the trial version for six months now and it expires in a week) and I love it so much more than Vista and XP, so Windows 7 it is!

We are also the proud owners of two more terabytes. That makes FOUR terabytes for us.

I can’t believe I just wrote that. I remember (not too long ago!) when I first head about terabytes. I was like, “WHEN IN A MILLION YEARS WOULD YOU EVER NEED THAT MUCH SPACE?”

Well, we do. I guess it’s been a million years. :) We (meaning David) plans to stripe the terabytes and mirror them, so we will never suffer from a catastrophic hard drive crash. Basically, we will have two terabytes of storage space and two terabytes to backup our stuff. If you think I have any idea what I’m talking about, you’d be mistaken. I’m creative, David is techie, so together we’re a good team. :)

I wanted to post a couple images from yesterday’s shoot.

This little guy is getting baptized next week:
