I ave not dropped off the face of the earth
 

Just the face of the internet.

Not quite two weeks ago, my computer was hit by a massive malware attack that got past my firewall, anti-adware, and anti-virus programs. I've sorta kinda got it back to the point where I can use it as a stand-alone platform, but I can't connect to any net stuff with it.

Then the scheduled vacation came up.
Well, I'm here at the beach, I can occasionally get to the 'net from my wife's lap-top. We have to use dial-up though, sucks having a slow connection.

Bright side: Dolphins frequently visible from the beach-front condo.
Dark side: consruction all day directly next to the hotel. Involves a front end-loader, a bulldozer two cranes, and a power shovel.
Bright side: Since I can't do any work with this equipment, I'm ree to do fluff. Hey, I'm supposed to be n vacatin after all.
Dark side: Work is piling up, I don'at have the resources to do more than gather it off the web, can't do what I need to do with it.
Bright Sside: Went to Alligator Adventure today. Big-ass reptile zoo n Myrtle Beach, SC. Got to scritch a Galapagos tortoise, the animal seemed to really enjoy my attention.
Dark side: Looks like I'm going to have to wipe my entire OS and re-install everything from backup when I get home.

Anyway, that's what been going on in the reptilian world (or, at least my reptilian world) of late. Talk to people when I can.

Enjoy your vacation................ then hurry and get back here where you belong.

Hope you enjoy the rest of the vacation and that all goes well when you get back home!

gekkogecko,

Tough shot with the machine. Hope the restoration goes well. Wishing you a good time for the rest of your vacation!

so stuffs cool and not so cool, huh? lol have fun!

Concentrate on the bright sides... then re-install your OS (what a bitch, ugh!)... and get back home soon.

Gosh, I bet you couldn't stand the thought of visiting a large reptile farm, huh? :p

We're still thinking of you and hope you hurry back.

Good luck, my reptilian buddy :D Hope to see you regularly soon.
