Hey guys,

I just wanted to let you all know that I may be scarce for a while. My computer just started acting up in a big way this evening, so there's a good chance I may not have internet access here shortly. I have a feeling something happened to the registry when Windows was updating, which is probably going to take some time to pin-point.

So yeah, if I'm not around for the next few days (or weeks), you'll all know why. I promise I'll make an update as soon as I know more. Until then consider me and my characters on hiatus.

Edit (11:14 AM 12/01/08) - The computer is running a little faster now that I've run a registry cleaner program. However, I discovered a Trojan (most likely the culprit for all of my computer woes) earlier and now I'm in the process of purging it from the system. I know an anti-virus program should be enough to remove it but for whatever reason, every time I run one, it freezes up and shuts down on me. It's a pain in the ass, but I'm sure I'll figure things out eventually. Lol.

Edit II (9:19 AM 12/02/08) - Okay, I think I might've actually gotten rid of the Trojan! It only took 24+ hours of work, but I think it's gone. Lol. I'm not 100% sure yet, but I should know by this evening. :)
