Whoops! I spilled a drink on my keyboard at home last night, and this morning it's acting slightly wonky. I've determined that when I was cleaning it off, water's gotten onto the contacts and so when I press the "3" key, the Scroll Lock key is activated at the same time (and vice-versa). I've left the keyboard "open" (i.e. a thin piece of plastic with metal wires crosscrossing all over it open, and the top part of the keyboard, the actual keys, seperate) and I hope that the water that I wasn't able to remove will evaporate.

I do have a replacement keyboard, thankfully... just in case. Though if the Scroll Lock key is the only problem, I think I might be able to manage.

(It was actually quite funny this morning - I was using it, noticing how soft the keyboard felt, and when I tried Alt-3, the computer went into Sleep Mode. "O.o" I then woke it back up, and tried to check my mail by hitting the "Mail" button... and "My Computer" opened. "o.O" it was at that point I figured the controls were a bit mixed...)

Chameleons are so fucking cool. :D Only thing is that I know I couldn't take good care of it, I have enough trouble keeping my fish healthy. I have 3 sets of 3 fish (Red-Eye Tetra, Yellow Fancy Guppy, Cherry Barb), one pair (Neon Tetra), and a Pleco (in a Pear Tree). I want to get more of each type so they school better. And I think the snail I have at home (and the similar-looking two at work) is a Viviparidae or Physidae...

Random Fact: Apple Snails can grow to the size of a tennis ball. Cool! :D

Chances are, that Keyboard is toast... Usually, when they short circuit, they're gone for good

Well, it's still working... it was just that one key. I can deal with one light blinking on/off if I hit "3".

We'll see when I get home.

Yes, you need to feed them bugs, which would involve maintaining a tank of bugs, which kind of sucks. Not only that, but you're supposed to feed the bugs certain foods so that the chameleon can ingest more nutrients when they eat the bugs. It all seems very complicated to me...
