So my wife goes away for the week leaving me with 3 days off work in which I intend to work on my websites and play games with my new graphics card. So what happens? Both my computers start having problems preventing me from getting anything done.

My work laptop, which I tend to use to do my website stuff sat on the couch has started giving me the dreaded Blue Screen of Death (TM), and I can't reimage the HD until Tuesday when I'm back at work. Strike one.

Meanwhile, my desktop PC has come down with a virus, which (probably coincidentally) happened around the time I installed Internet Explorer 7. The virus started off just closing internet windows but now it's stopping all internet access and limiting my access to admin features. I'm in the middle of backing up my media and documents from it, and will be reinstalling it soon after 4 different antivirus programs failed to clean the infection. You'd think these days that if the software can detect a virus it could clean it, but all of them kept saying it couldn't be cleaned! AARRRGHHHHHHH....

So 2 days have been pretty much wasted on my part, and I'll spend all day tomorrow reinstalling things... ho hum.

EDIT : In case you're wondering how I am writing this if both my PCs are broken - my laptop is working for 10-15 minutes at a time before it dies...
