I'm sorry, man! I have no idea how someone's toddler managed to do this to my laptop while I was in the toilet. At least she didn't spill anything on it, but I can't even read cyrillic....

[swipes his face and mutters something obscene in Czech, staring at the screen] This is why you shut it down or lock it if you're leaving laptop out for any length of time. [taps keys, squinting at what he's reading]

ooc: *DIES LAUGHING!!!* OH god! can't breathe, laughing so hard!

Yeah, I know, I know, I'm a right-brained creative flakey-boy with stuff like this. I won't make the same mistake again. Had no idea the junior hacker brigade was starting that little. Least you know I'm good for the fix... I'll stop spazzing now. Externally, anyway.

*Whoah, hey, dirty stories in English with a Cyrillic alphabet-switch. The teensy saboteur also managed to mirror the text and switch a common word for genitalia with the word "trdgf".*

((Couldn't resist. ^_^ He's the least tech-savvy computer user I play!))

[blinks at the ... content of the man's documents, making a face] I also suggest your next laptop has biometric sensor key for additional security. Keyboard mashing should not give anyone access so easily. [at least he hopes it's keyboard mashing if it was a toddler]

[o.O... It's disturbing that he can actually read this stuff, but what he has read is good. But trdgf? What the...? He speaks seven languages fluently at the very least but that's definitely not a word he's familiar with. Zelenka manages to undo all the damage done by the future "War Games" reality TV star (Aside from "trdgf"). And? All spyware and viruses have been wiped completely off the hard drive...]

ooc: <3<3!

I'm taking notes now. Really. *actually has a little notebook and pen out*

No, it shouldn't. I think that I didn't pay enough attention to the briefing on security I got. Wait, revise that--I definitely didn't pay enough attention.

*OMG it's a legacy copy of the Cookie Monster virus! And...there's a lot of files of something called "singing potatoes" on there.*

Um...yeah. *Rubs the back of his neck* So, what did I offer you for this when I first came up in a panic?

Is that why your password was "password"? [dubious look (yes Zelenka's typist is taking liberties! ;D )]

[O.o Zelenka is too good for ... his own good! ]

... You didn't.

...

...no, that's from resetting it while stoned. *shifty eyes*

OK, I see. So, what do I owe you, aside from not making the same mistakes again?

... Right.

Don't worry about it. It was a simple fix compared to some of the messes I've seen.

Well, you ever get bored, I'm in your debt. Thanks again. *offers a card, and glances at his screen*

Holy crap. The kid accidentally censored me.

Someone who thinks programming is luck should probably not have graduated from the Speak'n'Spell toys yet.

They probably broke it before it was even out of the box... [pinches nose]

It could be worse?
Unless your computer's attached to the reactor, too, or the higher-ups'
system...

You didn't get hot cocoa on the keyboard or something like that? I did that once to a tv remote and it never worked again. :S

...

Nothing like that happened, thank goodness. The idiot was merely pestering me every few minutes for result. Some recovery programs take time to retrieve files...

Edited 2009-01-31 13:38 (UTC)

*sighs at a memory* I've never had any luck with recovery programs. That dumb "system restore" option....almost lost two computers to that. I don't care what those IT guys say, it is NOT reversable.

ooc: true story, the mun hates system restore

... bad time askin' you to take a look at my iPod?

...

What did you do to it?

Me? Nothing!

Okay...

What is it's problem then?

... I don't know. That's why I wanted you to take a look at it! *cute smile, wiggles the dark iPod in his general direction*

[okay fine. Only because he's being cute. Radek frowns at Lorne and sticks out a hand to take the iPod, looking a little put out] Hand it over...

Thanks, doc! *gives him the iPod, peeking curiously*

You're lucky I like you, Major. [hooks it up to his diagnostic laptop, taps a few keys]

Aww, I like you, too, doc. *grins*

... [turns to look at him briefly before peering at the screen before him, measured Czech scowl on his face] You're just saying that so I'll fix your iPod.

[lines of code run across the screen, about fifty lines scroll by in Ancient script] That's interesting. Something in your root directory is showing up as data from the Ancients' database.

What is this, no benefit of the doubt? *crosses his arms* I'm hurt, doc.

*blinks and looks at the screen* You mean an ancient virus is destroying my Coldplay experience?

You know I only do that for you in months that don't end in 'y' but just this once I will make exception.

[makes a face at the screen] Evidently, yes. Did you download anything from database recently?

*nods, all serious* I understand and really do appreciate that.

Not that I'm aware of... only the standard song trading with other personnel but we obviously used Earth equipment for that.

You are welcome, Major. *quick smile, a little twinkle in his eye*

Huh. [taptaptap - spacebar - taptaptaptap - myopically peers at screen] You weren't tapped into the database with Earth equipment when you were file sharing? [looks at him] Had a few programs running?

*grins comradely, sitting down with him*

*frowns and thinks, trying to recall the day* Hmm. It's possible I had something open in the background. I've done some religion research for a diplomacy mission, maybe I didn't log out properly.
