Adventures In Inspiration

Absent

hi
Supposing anyone stops by here, my presence will be very limited for a bit. I might have drowned my laptop in ginger ale and black cherry vodka. :drunk: never drink and type and read a book at the same time.

Finances permitting I will have a new laptop toy between now and January. I won't be able to regularly keep up, but I hope to make an appearance or two. I am quite saddened because I haven't backed up since August, which means all the pictures I'd taken for the 365 group are gone except for their place, if they haven't kicked me out already, I hope not :frown: Since it's beyond repair, I think I want to take my laptop apart and look at it. May it rip or in pieces. Maybe I'll try to find an interesting picture of the technology at rest.

Sorry to hear that Jess. I spilled coffee in my keyboard once. Thought it was a goner, but my friend cleaned the keyboard for me and it was good as new. In fact, is still in use today (gave whole PC and accessories away.)

We'll be waiting to hear from you.

Sorry to hear about the laptop.

@L2D2: I think you can maybe get away having a spill on the keyboard, but on a laptop, the "brains" of the computer are just under the keys, so it's more likely to be catastrophic.

I am not as good about backing up my files as I should be, too. I bet there's still some chance you could recover the data on your laptop's hard drive, though. Have you tried talking to the computer support people at your university?

Anyway, we'll be missing you till you can get regularly re-established online.

There are programs for hard drive data recovery. I realize that the liquid would be catastrophe in a laptop. I am very careful about drinking anything around my computers now.

especially when some of comments in my posts are hilarious! :lol: spills happen! :down:

Yep. I drink out of a plastic gas station mug with lid. And my keyboard is on a shelf under the desk, so even if I should spill on my desk, it won't go into my keyboard

I rotate 3 keyboards that I regularly spill coffee on...
Best wishes to you...wishing you a quick return. :smile:

Thank you all for your comments and well wishes. I will have to try to see about hard drive recovery. I am going laptop shopping today, and off to see new moon at midnight and then sometime friday I hope to be reconnected. I miss the connection to the world my computer is.

Sorry to hear that, Muse. Hope you get another laptop quickly. :smile:
