Mixed bag of a day so far

The good thing was walking in the woods with Fearn and  passing a toddler who held out bith hands and said 'Look, pine cones!' I wish we cou.d all go back to the state of wonder that small children have.

The rest of the day's not being so good. Last night I leant my fried who I live with my pooter so as he could read his emails as both his pooters aren't working, instead of reading his emails and returning the pooter to me in the state he found it, he's managed to merge our firefox browsers and now all his stuff comes up as icons on my home page and when I come on here I'm getting a small red circle and exclaimation mark asking me if I want to do something or other, which I definately didn't and closed down as soon as possible, but I still can't get rid of.

 My "friend" now can't undo what he did to my pooter and told me to go on amazon and by a new one. I don't want to buy a new one, I wouldn't know what to buy for a start, so seeing as he's willing to pay for his mistake I will try and gett this one fixed. I'm also wary of doing anything that involves money when I've got this unidentified thing on it. 

I don't know if I'm more cross with myself for letting him use, knowing that he has a habit of fiddling with things, especially things he knows little about, or him for fiddling with it in the first place/

It feels so disrespectful to me and my stuff that he's left me in this position, he can have little notion of privacy at times too, accidently getting into my email instead of his and questioning me about what certain things are and who the people are that I communicate with regularly. I don't have anything to hide and it's not secret, but having someone read your mail and then question you on it is really invasive and rude.

So tomorrow I will go to Bangor to the shop I got this pooter from and ask them to fix it, if it can't be fixed then I wll get another one from them, reconditioned and set up ready of rme to use.

  • Well, it's mostly fixed, they had to delete two months worth of stuff from the memory as they couldn't work out what was done to make everything merge like it was.

    There's stuff I still need to recover, like my Mums email, which has totally disapeared and we don't know where too, hopefully I will be able to recover it fairly easily, I have her password somewhere.

    There's stuff, like an icon for channel 5 that dosen't seem to want to be removed, I never watch tv on my pooter so it's an import, it won't be dismissed or deleted and it dosen't seem to appear anywhere else, so that remains a mystery.

    I've still got this annoying red blob that turns into an exclaimation mark just above the reply button and it keeps freaking out when I ignore it, I want it gone, it's called privacy badger or something, I just wish it badger off!

  • I still can't believe how badly he managed to mess up your machine in such a short amount of time.

    I think privacy badger might be doing a good thing, it might be showing up all the time as it sounds like your computer is full of malware (bad software that's got downloaded onto your machine). Like a smoke alarm keeps going off if there is smoke.

    Glad it's slowly getting fixed up anyway.
