Do not, I repeat, do not use Avast with Vista, especially in DOS mode.
I asked it to repair all corrupted files and to delete all those that it couldn't repair.
Vista, however, acts differently from all the other windows and apparently, it "protects" files in the event that a hacker got hold of it.
And so, Avast couldn't modify any of the files.
So what did it do? it deleted them.
I'm currently recuperating all the files on my PC thanks to a boot CD and a rather (thankfully) large HardDrive.
I was intending of erasing the PC and starting from scratch but I'm still pissed off that it happened like this...
Anyway, appart from all that, things could be better and could be worse too.
I'm still in Toulouse learning to be a web designer and just about managing to keep track of all the lessons.
I'm having some difficulties with one of the other students though...
He and I were in the same class since 2007 and he's got this slight hearing problem.
The problem is that he uses this as an excuse to not take notes in class, claiming that he's utterly incapable of writing AND listening at the same time.
I however, because I've known him for to years now, think that it all boils down to LAZYNESS.
And the teachers want me to give him my notes because of his "deficiency".
Despite all this, I'm still working hard on my drawings and I'll try to post them ASAP.

And when I say I've passed, I do not mean it in the lavatory sense.
Clean those filthy minds of yours damn you!

Anyway, a lot of things have been happening lately,

I've passed this years exams with a total of 55%!
I would have had a better result if it wasn't for french sociology/phylosophy and law/economy, I mean, I'll never do that sort of stuff ever again! So why on earth did we have it as part of our curiculum for &@#=+ sake?
But at least it means that i'll be stufying next year at the n°1 university of social science of Toulouse!

Untill then, I'll be resting at my parent's home in the middle of nowhere playing video games with my brother frezak :icon frezak:
...
Well, humiliated by would be a better choice of words...

and now to the subject of films! yay!
Frezak, our mother and I are going out on monday to see the film Coraline. Suposedly, we've got the book somewhere but it seems to have disapeared....
I guess it's for the best because I've learnt that if there's a film about a book, it's always best to see the film first THEN read the book. (for more detailed information, see "Lord of the Rings", "Harry Potter" and especially "Hitch Hyker's Guide to the Galaxy")

Sooo, I hope everyone is haing a good time and basicaly enjoying their youth and freedom because, trust me, you've only got one chance (unless you've got millions of dollars to spend on cosmetic surgery, steroids and monkey glands which, beleive me, I would never even THINK of doing even if I could)

Well, I’ve been on placement for 2 months now, and this is my last week. This means that next week, I’ll have to start going back to school.
...
And then it's the exams.
...
O.o
Noooooooooo!!!!!
I don’t want to go back there! The horror! The horrooooorrr!
**starts hiding behind the couch**
Leave me alone!
**spots mouse behind couch**
Hello, do you come here often?
squeak?
...
Anyway, these last few weeks have been most tiring, especially last Friday when my computer got a virus. Poor thing had to have it’s memory wiped clean.
On the plus side, I’ve been drawing a lot these last few days so I’ll upload my latest work as soon as possible. (Probably beginning June unless I finally decide to go and buy a scanner for once.)
Now that my head is emptied by this vigorous usage of lead pencils, I feel somewhat better…

Well, I’d better log off now, I don’t think my boss would be amused if he catches me

Christ, I'm on work experience at an import-export company for high-tech gadgets and I'm in charge of site updates and repairing computers, etc.
In fact, I'm the only "technician" they have. :/
That means that if anything doesn't work, I have to take care of it.
Okay, so it's just computers jamming, software that hasn't been configured propaly, but I sometimes get a couple of things that could make anybody pull their hair out.
Just the other day, a guy toldus that he lost his password for his company e-mail adress. So I said OK... I'll see what I can do.
So I look through all the paperwork the last programmer left behind him and it seems that there was an account that had access to most "vital information"...
I smiled happpily and started to access it, only to find that he didn't write down the password. So in the end, we've got an admin account with no password, a guy who needs a password and me with rapidly disapearing hair.
Have you tried to contact this guy? I asked my superior.
Errr, yes.
And?
He won't reply to our e-mails or our phone calls...
aaaarrrrrgh!!!!

Okay! Just hurrying up, making the most out of a slow connection available in a McDonalds.
For those who are already worried, Non I have not contracted food poisoning (well, not yet...)
Recent events have occured that I'll keep quiet about, have made me decide that there is no real reason in the end why I left DeviantArt. If it has changed, so shall I.
I shouldn't leave anyway, when there are so many that I've met here, laughed with and developped a kind of friendship which is rare in the "outside world".
Yes, in the end, DeviantArt is where my heart lies in the end.
So sorry to everyone (though there doesn't seem to be that many who noticed my disapearance.)
How can I make it up to you guys?
I'll let you decide on my punishment
Alexander
