applied for www.missducky.co.cc as my domain name, just in case i choose to move to wordpress or whatever, so that my friends dont need to relink me. will need to redirect this url to missducky.co.cc when that happens, but next time if i really choose to move.

anw, hv successfully installed office 07 in wine. after quite some time of figuring out why my powerpoint keeps crashing upon start up, etc. also had to upgrade wine to the latest version in order that it could be installed. sometimes things are not as straightfoward as i thought they would be.

unfortunately i still have to forgo windows live msger, live writer, and cs3, all which i need for my website creations. the ratings for those in wine are not good, hence i'll just spare myself of the trouble installing them.

for the second time in two days, i reformatted my laptop. that's cos i thought the trojan will only stay on c drive, also cos fahmi who works at service centre told me that sp students get it on c drive only. it's not his fault; i had also thought it would stay on C only. but anw, the trojan jumped to D drive and back to c drive again. LOL. installed xp again on c drive, and ubuntu on E drive, which i created. D is for my docs.

I am now an official linux convert.

seriously this trojan caused me ALOT of time and effort. heng i backup-ed my documents into an external hdd, (which i suspect has the trojan also), but i will only use it on ubuntu. and i have successfully saved my precious notes from the hdd. cos the trojan encrypted all my previous D drive files, which i had thought it would not touch. so super pissed at the trojan creator. this is the most destructive i have ever come across. AND guess what, i had scanned my D and hdd drives with avg, (after a lecture by the boy on the importance of antivirus) and AVG DID NOT DETECT IT.

if open source image editing software was as on par with those which run on ms, i dont think i'll ever touch ms' crap again. and unfortunately ms office has more features as compared to open office, which we really need for presentations and reports.

i already love ubuntu because i didnt have to load drivers and it could project to my screen, connect to internet and detect my mouse. unlike ms which has to 'install your new device' crap.

ok i shall now go and revel in my new found love for linux.

btw, for business students, try not to plug in your thumbdrives into the school computers and then transfer them into yr laptops, thou it's kinda hard to prevent. the school comps are laden with viruses and trojans.

i think i'm the worst owner a laptop could ever have. in the past year alone i have reformatted my laptop about 4 times. lolx. each time i resolve to using antivirus, but it never stays for long. lol. eg comodo. it's paranoid and keeps notifying me of every single change that's being made to my comp, that i totally turn it off. and avg updates so regulary that i get sian-ed. lolx.

somehow i like the feel of a reformatted laptop. hahaha. cos i install alot of junk everytime.. lolx. i think it's a psychological thing to feel like your laptop is freshly installed and there's no more junk in there. one reformat is all it takes to clear every bit of virus, trojan or whatever not that may be lurking inside that your antivirus cannot find. lolx.

another thing i must stop doing is transferring my sd cards and thumbdrives from laptops and school computers to my comp. thou during project time it's very hard leh.. =/

anw i just reformatted my laptop, again. haha. it kena some ransomware thing. it's super smart la, this virus. it dives into my harddisk and encryps my precious documents. good thing it didnt manage to touch my d drive yet so i could backup my stuff. anw, it encrypts my docs and tells me to buy a decryptor from them, otherwise my info will be at risk.

i think i got it from an sd card transfer. horrible la.. affected my c drive summore leh. gave up scanning and just reformatted. haha.

some of you may be interested in what the crypting looks like..

















totally polluted my dropbox. can you image the damage it would cause if the virus sync-ed itself over dropbox with the people i share it with?? LOL. need to delete the polluted folders off le.

anw blaw is over.. as well as fm. im quite sure i can pass those two. those two are my most dreaded subjects so far, and im quite relieved. :)

Valentines day

went to esplanade library to study (on Valentines day, no less. haha) for a while. then andy and his gf came over and played with dear's ipod touch. while i was there studying, cos im.. kinda way behind time. haha. thanks to tuesday and wednesday thinking that i could study by staying at home and ended up setting up my webhost and domain. LOL.

went for dinner at marina square with all of them and then went fullerton, cos why? andy wanted to use the toilet there. LMAO.

yep so that was basically my valentines day. it felt like any other day when im out with him.. so i guess it's kinda true that when you're with the one you love, everyday is like valentine's day? haha.

im quite dead... very behind time. arghh!
