I use two laptops. I've talked about the table I use everyday but I didn't talk about the two laptops. I write on one and backup on the other. I guess I am being punished for drinking water rather then my normal Shiner.
Yes, I spilled the glass of water onto the laptop with the non-backed up version of chapter 26 of Mayhem in a Pill. Each chapter is normally 12-15 pages in OpenOffice. I was on page 8 and the last bit of the chapter was ready to go just needed the conversations written. In other words I lost Chapter 26 when the glass spilled. The laptop won't turn back on. Just black. I was able to remove the battery then place it upside down on a dry towel and I dried up whatever liquid I could find. The HD was not wet in the slightest so I am going to leave them out overnight and hope for the best tomorrow afternoon when I have some more time for writing.
I even used a hair dryer to blow into the laptop and make sure everything is dried. Hopefully the liquid did not fall into the HD and the insides just needed to dry out. But if worse comes to worse, I'll have to restart writing the Chapter from memory because the in depth outline was also on that computer.
Ugh. Let's hope it is better tomorrow.
Edit: Ah, crap, I was just reminded about the porn! Oh for the love of everything holy, don't forget about the porn!!!
