No idea why my monster is different unless my e-mail address has taken on some strange quantum properties. As good a reason as any to get new toys.

'C' is worst, but 'SHIFT', 'CTRL' and whatever you call the Windows key are also affected and that's really serious as typing when CTRL is stuck down is impossible. It's just a bog standard MS keyboard and I was thinking of buying a wireless keyboard and mouse anyway, so off to PC World I go at lunchtime. Now, why is your monster different? It's supposed to be based on a repeatable hash of the e-mail address so shouldn't change.

At least olives won't fit between the keys. I've seen keyboards survive tea and coffee spills. I've seen them destroyed by colas and extended exposure to chocolate never olive oil. Do you think you can clean it or do you need a new keyboard? Now I can see how it happened. At least olives won’t fit between the keys. I’ve seen keyboards survive tea and coffee spills.

Shame you were working because the weather was good. And I probably shouldn't ask but how did you get olive oil in your keyboard? Doctor Who was good.
