Given how much of my life involves coffee and keyboards, you'd think they'd get on a bit better.

Hopefully the keyboard will make a full recovery - these things are bastards to take apart completely - but it's not out of the woods yet. I can't really afford a new one. (And no, I'm not typing on it now!)

Could've been Coke, I suppose...

ETA: IT LIVES. And now it's all clean, too. I'd forgotten it was this colour.

Oh, is that what happened? You can pick up keyboards really cheaply, if you're just using a standard one. Hell, my future mini-wireless-with-integral-trackpad-all-singing-all-dancing keyboard is only forty-something quid. Normal ones are about a tenner, I think.

What happened with the eBay dress? I popped into Edinburgh Fabrics and they have a couple of potential strappy things, nothing that exciting but might do.

Do you have any idea where you've proofread to in Drac? Nothing in the future is marked as proofread, and the last two entries weren't either. The next entry's on the 29th and there's a bit of a cluster around there, although July is almost as dead as June.

From experience, rubbing alcohol and a box of Q-tips works comparatively well at cleaning keyboards. Apply it with one Q-tip, then let the alcohol soak for thirty seconds to a minute. Once that's done, if the Q-tip's not too nasty, use it or a clean one to wipe up the goo.

It takes up fingerprint oils, stuff like that, and you can get down in between the keys. Of course, the keyboard I used it on was thirteen years old.

Glad to hear it survived.

Oh, and if it makes your day a bit brighter, I've digged out the Sekrit Projekt(TM) again. I might even do something about it in the very near future!

I also re-read your next installment to see where it would fit in. I think I'm getting the idea...
