Stupid thing I did today....

[Sub Styler]

Ok so I just put a full cup of coffee down carlessly and spilt over my keyboard. Which is now drained and wiped and back in action! Luckily I only stripped it and vacuumed it out a few days ago or it would be a real mess!

Still it could have been worse, as the cup only wobbled over - it landed like this:



Hey at least I got to drink half a cup!

NB Apologies for the picture quality, theres one of those blackberry things lying around so i just used that.

You were lucky there, one reason I always have the keyboard pushed underneath when no in use, plus my coffee cup is usually over to the side away from trouble.

I think my previous keyboard had drank a pot of coffee, thirsty for another cup after each cleaning but still works like a trooper. However the new illuminated one is still enjoying a stint at coffee-holics anonymous.

About 20 years ago my brother-in-law spilled an orange soda on my keyboard. I cleaned it up and dried it out and that keyboard still works great today.

This is a classic literal visualisation of the adage "Cup half full or Cup half empty"

Just instant coffee but I do use 2tsp of coffee and 2tsp sugar! I obviously didn't clean it out enough as it's now filed under f in my wei container (aka my shed).

But as I stupidly left this keyboard plugged into the usb, at some point between it being fine and being buggered - alot of random stuff must have gone on as when I restarted my user profile (the only admin account) was gone. The data is all still there so as soon as I get a new keyboard i'll sort it.
