11:05pm: In terms of the keyboard cleaning, I finally managed to get a hold of the compressed air, for only $2.95 too! And I followd the instructions for cleaning and the keyboard no looks a lot cleaner...but the '3', '4', 'e', 'd' and 'c' keys still won't work! Son of a bitch!
And then I got the bright idea to clean my USB keyboard because somehow it got as dirty as Hell with all these crumbs inside it and stuff. However, it did work...and now it doen't, because somehow I managed to damage two of the keys in removing them and when I tried to put them back on the damn things kept getting stuck and are therefore useless.
So, then I tried the other USB keyboard I have, which is this roll up type keyboard which I thought was a good buy except it's too floppy and thus really hard to use the damn keys! So now I'm using the bluetooth keyboard that goes with my tablet, which is my last hope right now. But seriously,what am I supposed to do now? My poor laptop, should I order a new keyboard for it and try to install it? I'm a bit wary of doing that because the last time I did I managed to install the new keyboard well enough, but then the laptop screen ended up having a line through it. Damn. What to do, what to do? I suppose I could buy the replacement keyboard and take it and the laptop to the Computer Repair shop in Dee Why and get them to do the replacement for me. So annoying!
In other news, it was the last day of TAFE and I turned in all but one assignment which I managed to finish during class, but I need to type it up because my handwriting is so bad. I'll do that tomorrow, though.
The big issue with all this keyboard fail is I haven't even hit the 1,667 word minimum target for NaNo today, although I did at least manage to get to 35,000 words yesterday before going to bed. And of course I won't have to worry about TAFE assignments anymore - well once I type up the other one so here's hoping I can catch up!
For now though, here's my NaNoMeter!
36036 / 50000 words. 72% done!
Well, hey I'm over 70% now, go me!
And now, I'm off... goodnight all!
