Take the battery out of the laptop. Take it apart as much as you can and dry the bits. Usually you can take the keyboard off fairly easily so you can dry it inside. I have had successful recovery from coffeed laptops, and complete failure. Yes, it has happened more than once.
Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Well, I am not home now- I was also late for work! Hopefully, since i immediately turned the power off, nothing got fried. I am not sure I can afford to replace a 17 inch Mac Powerbook.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm at home, waiting for the electrician. Probably only time I'll be able to get online, given what my to do list looks like at work. Uhg.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My boss just discovered he has a patent.
Years ago he worked for Motorola. He knew he had a patent pending, but he assumed Motorola had abandoned it and it had never gone through. But it did.

My work IT guy said that because I didn't take the battery out of the coffeed laptop, it could start a fire in my house. Then when I started getting upset, he sort of took it back.
Do we think I should go home (keeping in mind that since I take a bus, it will be about a 3 hour round trip.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Is there anyway you can call your landlord or a neighbor to have them check on it? Just to set your mind at ease?

Why can't we just have well behaved neighborhood kids? Saturday the new kids on the block (literally), came over and played all day with no problem. Yesterday the 8 year old boy threw sand in Leif's face and bit Emaryn (no skin breakage, but still, biting!). He is now banned pending a talk with the parents. Emaryn still wants to be able to play with them. At least the other kid, a 6 year old girl, seemed to do just fine.
This is on top of 8 year old girl elsewhere on the block. She has problems with being physically abusive although her 6 year old brother is fine.
