Ouch my head

Ever hear one of those really high pitched grinding noises? You know the kind that just screams “Metal rubbing against metal” and makes you want to run as far away as possible so the noise will stop making your brain vibrate? It’s really not good when a printer makes that sound, is it?

Of course this particular printer is an HP Laserjet 4L, and if you know anything about that printer you won’t be surprised to know that this thing is so old no one remembers buying it! I think the roller and some other moving parts have just had it. I think we’ll just point this user to one of the network printers for now and look at doing something different. I don’t see much of a point in trying to have a printer tech come and replace those moving parts, do you?

    Interesting link from Chad concerning something called Replay Telecorder that allows you to get recorded messages from Skype. Maybe when I’m feeling better I’ll try to set that up and see how it works, more for curiousity’s sake than anything else, since I’ve now used Skype a couple of times and will probably keep it…

    My wife is obviously on me to get some pics up but between being on dialup and using a laptop that doesn’t quite have the right video settings yet, they may have to wait, sorry! I hope this one will appease her. This was taken Monday from Dillon Marina on Lake Dillon. My friend Steve…

    Never schedule weekend work to be done on the same weekend as the Community Festival, but even if you do, check the listings to make sure you’re also not trying to drive downtown in the middle of the Gay Pride Parade. Not that I have anything against the Gay Pride Parade, or any parade, but…
