Dear diary,
I have had a very big learning experience, and I got in a lot of hot water, too.
I have been teaching myself how to hack into my computer.
I installed a hack file renaming it from .ZIP instead of
unpacking it because nobody told me about archiving and compression,
and it crashed my Sonic game.
I tried uninstallation and reinstallation,
losing a lot of my data files and a year's work.
Then I tried the hack on Merinda's PC, and she had asked me not to do that,
but I was so sure I could do it... that was the rude bit.
You live 8.75 years and you learn.
Anyway, here is a picture of Dad's grad student Mark helping me fix the
whole mess on Merinda's PC. We got everything but my Chao garden back in
the end, and I can zip now too. I have my computer privelidges back, but
Mum and Dad made me pay Mark the agreed fee, $10. They figure I learn
through the hip pocket nerve. Damn right!
