This was a messy weekend for the computer– I logged on Friday night to find that I’d been invaded by a combination of viruses and a pair of nasty spyware programs. Despite my best efforts I couldn’t wipe out the infestation, even using several programs in series. So I created a new windows installation and managed to burn much of my old data off to CD.
Yesterday, I thought I’d continue the reinstallation, since most programs require the Windows directory to work. The first reinstallation of WoW didn’t work… probably a conflict with the old version. So I’m looking at reinstalling it again… and running many, many MB of patches to get up to current.
On the other hand, upgrading to Movable Type 3.2 didn’t go too badly at all. Each step of the way there was a little problem, but the documentation was good enough that I could debug it and move on. It’s working very well so far– let me know if you see any problems. (I’m really looking forward to the improved comment and trackback control– even trackbacks were getting badly spammed before the update.)
