Computer Troubles

______________________________
About my computer...

After I had signed up for ADM hosting, I was trying to find the place to upload everything, so I asked someone on Newgrounds, the guy who told me about ADM in the first place. He then sent me a link to a file that I was supposed to install a program to help upload my stuff, and me, being in a rush as usual, just clicked the link (I later found out it was not actually him, and that he had been tricked by the same people before me). It installed something, but I had no idea what at the time, until later that night when I shut down my computer. My shut down sound had been changed. I quickly restarted my computer to see what was wrong. A message popped up that told me my computer had been compromised, and was now in possession of a certain group of people (whose name I shall not say). After the message it started up, with a different start up sound, and my desktop background had been changed. My Newgrounds account had a new password, and I was not able to log on, or send a "Forgot your password" email. Wade helped me get that account back. The virus also disabled system restore, so I was forced to do a system recovery to completely wipe my hard drive.

So now my computer is back to normal, I think. And I will be much more careful in what I download/install.

Still Here

This is just a post to let you know I'm still alive.

These graphics are just temporary, I will (hopefully) have the new graphics by next Saturday. I just wanted to leave a message and tell you how everything was going, and that the site hasn't died.

The Have a Nice Day Collab, is almost complete, there are just a few more parts to be finished, and a menu to be decided on. It seems to be going good, you may even see some more collabs from me later on. It has been a great experience and I can't wait to see how it turns out.

It's exam week, as you can see from "This Weeks Doodle". Luckily I have only 1 exam, (in my worst subject) Social Studies. But I also get all of next week off, so thats when I plan on finishing up those graphics with my friend. I am also working on a few games that I plan on finishing soon.

Oh, I'd like to mention that "This Weeks Doodle", does not mean I will post a new doodle every week, I will try to, but I don't usually get around to it for about 2 weeks.

That's all for now I guess, I'll post later about the problems I had with my computer.

The Site is UP!

______________________________


HEY HEY! The new site is finally up. Unfortunately, pillowfighter.com, pillowfighter.net and pillowfighter.ca are all taken. So the new name is Pillowbasher, and you can find the new site at www.pillowbasher.net
The graphics will all be getting a makeover and the names will all have to be changed to pillowbasher. That may take some time, but it WILL get done.
I also have an unfortunate story of what happened to my computer, which I will post at a later date. Right now I'm just glad the site is up.
The next thing you should be seeing from me is the "Have a Nice Day Collab". I'm doing it with a bunch of people on Newgrounds, ShortMonkey is the leader. That should be done soon, I'm feeling quite good about it.
That's all for now.

New Layout

______________________________


Hey everyone. I hope you like the new layout of the site. It took a while to get up, as you may have noticed, but I think it turned out pretty good.

There still has to be some tweaking with the graphics for the site, but this is basically it. The "This Week's Doodle" may not stay up for that long, that's just there until I figure out what I want to put in that space. I'd also like to fill the space on the left of that.

I'll be trying to work on flash much more often now, so I can get this site on it's feet, and maybe even start making some money :D
