Again I must express my apologies for my extended absense to everyone. I am writing this journal via my phone internet because I have been ever so fortunate to aquire a nasty computer virus. I have gotten a few before that I have usual been able to overcome thanks to the knowledge of a friend well versed in computers. Unfortunately this one is much, much worse. It is one of the security tool viruses and I was not quick enough to CTRL, ALT, Delete before it had saturated my system. This one is called System Tool 2011 and works by spreading itself throughout your application data and various other hiding places and changing the permissions of your operating system to save itself from deletion. So much so that I have been left with no choice but to work in safe networking mode and compress all of my work (which is taking the majority of my time) and music that I can. I have accumulated so much over the course of not even 2 years that needless to say because I do not possess any blank cds or an external harddrive, it has taken all my recent free time to make sure I save everything I possibly can before I have to completely reboot my system back to its original state. Not fun. I think at the very least I managed to get all of the paid Menagerie folks taken care of as of this morning, anyone afterwards I will have to ask for a bit more time as I get through this matter. I will get back to everyone as soon as I possibly can and thank you again for all of your patience and understanding.
