Alright so the guys from earth-rocks.at were really nice and wrote me back at once.

They said that their website had a bug allowing hackers to misuse it for their evil plans to conquer over PCnation, but it should be fixed now!

My other PC is fixed now again, too. My nerd and I had a happy reunion and a funny chat. Because of fucktards like these hackers, guys like him can make a good living.

Have a nice day. ^_^

It seems that I am not only "famous" enough now to run competitions with my art without letting me know, but I also seem to be a requested enough person, to lead innocent people to viruses on websites using images that are connected to my name.

When you are using google and you may want to find my art using the picture search, you will find one image on page 2, that doesn't match up with the others.
Yet my name is connected to it, and it looks like a magazine. This is the bloody image, REHOSTED, so nothing bad shall happen while showing it here:



But once the happy PC user wants to investigate, it officially links him to "earth-rocks.at", which is fine, but for real it goes to "http://destinybeijing.cn/?pid=I-will-not-post-all-the-code-here-since-it-contains-the-virus" which is locked because of software that is not to trust, it says, but when you keep it open it will crush your PC behind this surface. Happy Microsoft ecures only parts of it all and so always leaves doors open!

One of My PC's decided doing the same - go to bed I mean - so I am now waiting for my technician to revive it.

Sadly, if the one who has set up this funny virus and hopes for all my stuff to be gone is laughing now, I must disappoint you. I have been working on a MAC recently and all my files are backuped at least twice. >_>
You will give me no more than a little gaming delay in waiting for my PC to be fixed by a real and awesome nerd and a happy friend reunion.

However, browsing the website with my IPhone I could also see what it is actually installing under the surface - it is literally scanning your system and installs itself, even telling you so. Luckily Macs are immune to most PC viruses, so I could wittness that fuss without a problem, giving my browser the kill after it told me that I should allow it to install itself!

Yeah, like I am dumb. The shit I will do!
Is it even legal to connect viruses to "famous" peoples names and spread them like that?!

Warn your friends, do not surf this website!!! http://destinybeijing.cn <- do NOT surf this website!!! DO NOT open this bloody image that's connected to my name on Google! Especially not when you are using a PC; I am serious!!!

Or when you have a MAC, tell earth-rocks.at that someone is using the artists they are featuring in their magazine to spread viruses - something stinks here!!!

I was informed that some 16 year old kid ripped parts of a painting of mine and submitted it to a competition.

He ended up on place 4, among of, I dunno, 150 entries?

Shall I be proud of my little kiddy now forthat he made "me" win something? :P

I am not sure yet. XD

Meanwhile I discovered that I don't really get to check my Myspace profile and so you may wait forever until I approve your friends requests. There are only slight differences between Facebook and Myspace but these slight differences make me like Facebook enough to hang around there all day. Almost as often as here, uh, scary! :3

I really wonder why the last blog entry I made doesn't show up. o_O

Well, it didn't contain much anyways. Just a note that you can add me on Facebook (Anne Pogoda) if you want. I also figured that the last update I managed to pull off for my website was almost a year ago which means the gallery is waaaaay old!

The only thing I managed to update every now and then was the publications list which makes a lot of sense to me since I will lose track of it too easy when I have no list somewhere. Silly Anne doesn't to throw some nice pubication away by accident just because she forgot she's in it.
No, no!

But yeah, because I am too lazy to update DarkTownArt any longer I made one final update today, linking to here (CGTalk :3) and to this new DA pro portfolio function. Just to have something online that is showing my work in a way that fits for presentation.

I have also become mainly silent here not only because I decided to share a blog with Seth Nemo (You want to click this) but also because I have been busy working on some stuff which was mainly new to me (making portraits of ritch people on their horses) and running around at academy getting stuf for my new classes arranged. (Meaning the classes I am giving as a lecturer.)

The class is doing good by the way and I am looking forward to sharing some of the wonderful work that was created there.

Yours

PS: Google these books

I want to paint crying people, to get over the sadness in my heart.

But I can't, because I was commissioned to paint happy beautiful people. They eat up all the time that could be used for sadness.

And let me tell you one thing: You were wrong. I always knew that some things weren't meant for me, never would. It can only be one love. I chose art.
