Apparently, Bird Flu didn’t scare us enough, so now we have Pig Flu. I’m terrified.
According to the symptoms listed on this picture from Wikipedia, I’ve been suffering from Swine Influenza since about 2002.
Sitting and watching TV at work (as I obviously don’t have a telly at home) is occasionally ruined by the Act on CO2 adverts. I really hate the whining northern arsecandle on those adverts. Being a whining Northerner is my job, not his.
Anyway, my recent playing of games on t’internet has also been ruined by needless appearances of this fart-trumpet. And so, I give you…
Call it the Conficker Virus, or call it coincidence, but my aged 2003 Microshit Office installation fell over today, killing off my email. After a re-install I found that none of my word documents would open. Hmm.
So, after restoring from Sunday’s backups and finding them still un-openable, I’ve swapped to OpenOffice. Now all is well.
The only reason I haven’t switched completely to something better than XP, like Ubuntu GNU/Linux, is that Live for Speed needs windows…..
And yes, I am current on all XP fixes and twiddles, and my anti-virus software is tip-top.
