A Call for Help

I did something kind of stupid... ok, REALLY stupid, and need your help to get back up to speed.

I recently took a dip in the Atlantic Ocean, and my cell phone went with me, unbeknownst to me until about ten minutes later. To keep things brief, I have a new phone but almost none of the contacts from the old phone, which is thoroughly kaput.

If you think your number should be in my phone, either give me a call or send me an e-mail to jedik809 AT gmail DOT com (just interpret those words into the appropriate symbols, it's to avoid getting spammed). Thanks!

Oh, and I'll have something more substantial for you guys later this weekend, if all goes according to plan. For now, let me say that DC was awesome, the beach was fun (minus the cell phone incident), and I'm getting psyched/anxious about the upcoming school year. More details soon!

You should not only have me back in your cell phone, but you should call me this weekend, as I fly down on Sunday. :)

I was totally there to witness its sea-salty demise.

If you still have the old phone with you, there may be a chance to resurrect it. I've read that water itself doesn't cause permanent damage to electronics, it's actually the minerals (and in your case salt) in the water. If you soak the phone in distilled water for 24 hours and then let it air dry, it should clean it out and work again so you can extract your important data from it.

This quest is worth 500 XP.
