I've half 'paid' my good deed in advance - doing computer technical support for my elderly neighbor. I can only manage half an hour at a time before I start falling over. Should be able to get it finished tomorrow. ^ ^;
Spent 40 minutes more yesterday cursing Microsoft, BT Internet and McAfee antivirus software. Hopefully will have it working after today's session.

I've done quite a few things I could have counted under this...

But I havn't done anything I'd want to announce. So I'll keep going.

Hello.

Not a very big deal of "make something good", but I have adopted a homeless cat recently. She had an illness (rhinotracheitis and kaltsiviroza, both viral and in a bad state) so we went to veterinarian and spent some money (about 40$) to cure her. Now she is quite healthy.

Will this do for a Frozen Synapse (Steam), please?

I'm afraid kingfisher1112, who had volunteered to offer Frozen Synapse, was banned from the forums, so I don't really know how to contact him :( You could pick something else if you'd like?

Ugh, that sounds pretty horrible :-\ Best of luck!

This is not your fault, never mind.
Can I have Aquaria (Steam) then? I have played a demo at BitBlot site, and I like this sort of games.

Thank you very much, you are very kind! ;)

Thanks. I'll need all of that luck. :P

Today's session cancelled due to ill health.

Magical Diary was fun, but far too short. I can't really recommend it. :/ Oh well, not every one can be a winner.

[EDIT] Today spent 35 minutes more computering. Progress is actually being made! ... but I still need to go back tomorrow again. :P

And thanks to ELF-rhymer, there's an early access key to Dead Island: Epidemic! :)

Another day, another 45 minutes spent trying to get McAfee to run on my neighbor's computer. At this point I thought 'screw this' and gave her a spare copy of the anti-virus software I bought for my own computer instead. :D

I told her to donate my payment to the church or a charity of her choice.

I'll be going back again at some point, as it would probably be sensible to get SP 1 installed on her computer even if it does seem to be incredibly tricky to do so. :/

Huh, what computer is this?! I mean, I just get AVG and it's free, works fine and is honestly never really a nuisance! :\

I could have used AVG, but it _has_ missed stuff in the past on my computer. The only reason I was trying to use McAfee in the first place is that she had paid for that with her internet subscription. I hate McAffee. It's a real resource hog and I've known it to cause problems with other programs.

Microsoft security essentials. I use that, it is pretty good, but run malwarebytes from time to time too.

That last gobbo would stand there, missing an arm, punctured in a kidney, liver, and spleen, fading in and out of consciousness at the far end of where the drawbridge would go, and his last sight would be the drawbridge dropping down and smashing him like a bug.

God DAMN I love this game!

I got the paid-for version of malwarebytes. It found some 'conduit' related files that nothing had picked up before. Have you come across conduit, btw? It's a right bastard to get rid of entirely.

I use HitmanPro to deal with stuff like that. Yeah, it's like using a nuke on a cloud of flies, but it works.
