Hey peeps!  Miss me? :P

Had a very nasty BIOS Persistant Rootkit (BPR) planted on my household network some time ago and have (since confirming removal) finally made it back to getting my music gear reinstalled (decided to rebuild my music system in the process... still haven't cleaned my storage server or a slew of other PC parts stacked up around me in here, lol...) but for more as to what I've been up to (in case anyone wondered) just check into the news on my site: http://www.christofori.net

I've been working on a how-to guide for removing the BPR mentioned above and it (as well as a whole myriad of other resources) will all be FREELY available on my site in the near future.  I'm also to be writing some (free) books, too, so the music is still kinda on hold...  But, I just woke up from a dream with a new song in it and had to reinstall OMPT and one of the synths just to write it down, so at least I know the music "didn't die" with the virus.. lol.  God's been doing a lot with me lately -- if you don't believe, hey that's OK -- I don't judge.  But I would urge you to check my site for newfound faithful evidence of Him, if you find yourself wondering one day. ;)

Hope all have been doing well all this time, during my absence!  Also -- props to the donations -- working on Q3 2012 already!  W00t!  :D  Great job people!

Oh.. yeah.  Lastly I'm finally on facebook if anyone wishes to friend me there (though I rarely will be using it... it's meant to be a portal/placeholder referring peeps to my main site, but it's linked to my main e-mail so I'll get a notice if you do decide to look me up and friend me.. lol)... http://facebook.com/thechristofori

Evidence?

Evidence -- yeah... read between the lines on my news postings.  Also a lot more in progress that shall be posted.  The stuff that's not publicly available (yet) can be found either in time, or in my postings on the muse.mu forums.  For starters you can look at the 'paper means nothing' poem I was given, on my Literature section.  There's gonna be a lot more there in time.  For seconds, you could look at how I went away for a 6-8 week (that's a keyword there) rehab that took me instead 6 days.  I did not do those things on my own.. I can assure you. ;)

Pr0n?  LOL.. heh, the BPR was planted physically on my system due to a vulnarability in the router as well as unkept windows security updates (...'allowing an attacker to gain remote control of ..' yadda yadda yadda).  Warez?  Heh!  That's why I (some time ago now) deleted all my pirated samples and went and bought the CCC and Garritan PO4, don'tchaknow ;)

This 'broken arrow (now mended)' thus flies straight and true.. (or straight and narrow.. heh, rhymes with arrow..')
