Oh, great. Totally great.

So, on Friday my college room internet mysterious breaks down. I'm like, "Okay, it'd be back up soon. It's happened before." It's not back up the next day and then I find out today why my internet's down. And guess how I found out. By email.

Anyway, only my room's internet down and that's because of my laptop. It apparently did some kind of DoS (Denial of Service) attack on the server stopping fellow students from accessing the internet.

Now, I know about DoS attacks, thanks to a certain manga issue of Negima but I have no idea how to execute one. :P

My suspicions are with the VPN wireless client that I had to download (and run) to use the wireless network. Certainly, information in the email I received points to it including a certain URL and the time the email was sent.

I'm going to go and talk with the IT manager. Get this all cleared up.

I already have enough trouble with my laptop. It's recently begun to heat up with no response from the fans. Seriously, it could burn off my skin. Being around two and a half years old, it's pretty close to death and has been showing signs for the past six months.

If I lost my laptop, I'd be devastated. I mean, I could survive without internet but you know.

UPDATE: After a talk with the IT manager, I agreed to restore my laptop to what it was when I bought it i.e. losing all my programs and files. Yeah, of course, I backed everything (important) up. So now I've left it with him to update and install an anti-virus programs and whatnot. I'm going to pick it up tomorrow morning and everything should be fine, fingers crossed.

Good news is that my laptop will be clean and error-free (for a while). :D
Bad news is what do I do for the next twenty four hours? I'm bored already. :P

UPDATE2: So I got my laptop back and thus starts the painful process of reinstalling everything and changing settings. I can't install Office since the disks are at home. Luckily, I think I have the Flash CS3 disk with me. Of course, I lost all the little tweaks I had before. Annoying. :P

Not to be conceited, but Im pretty good at drawing, I just suck at the colouring...

I want to collab with someone again. (That's a good idea!) I'll ask around. :D
:icondra2k4:
Yeah, I'm not particularly good at drawing. I sort of have the uncanny ability to imagine things perfectly then mess it up when I come to draw it. :P

I've never collaborated with anyone partially because since I work in Flash I have to redraw lineart most of the time and also since I have so much work to do. :P

I redraw the lineart too on Photoshop. It's annoying, and I hate the process, but my lines are really baad.
:icondra2k4:
I'm pretty stressed but I'll be fine by tomorrow evening. :)

You?
