Little Glenn is doing well. The Grandparents came over last night to say hi. They bought some tasty ice cream as well, so that was nice. Glenn is well over 10lbs now. He is starting to make weird little noises that sound like the beginnings of vowel sounds. Every day he is bigger and getting stronger.
We finally gave up on trying to print our own photos at home. Maintaining an inkjet printer is like trying to drive on a leaky tire. It always needs attention, and if you don’t use it, it stops working. Inkjets (Canon and Epson) seem to last about 2 years before the print head dies. I already have a 6 year old laser printer that works fine, so now all the printing goes via the network to my printer. I have to hand it to the CUPS and SAMBA people, the software really works and allows Tiffany’s 2 XP laptops to interact with my Mandriva Linux desktop seamlessly. Printing over the wireless network is surprisingly fast, even over our still 802.11b network. Haven’t found a need to upgrade to a g network yet. Now we use CVS to print our photos. The price per print is quite a bit cheaper that us doing it ourselves.
Wow, I am glad the British police, MI5, etc are doing their jobs. God knows you would not want to trust the CIA or FBI to find a terrorist plot.
Well, the weekend is almost here and I am the last man left at work. Oh, joy.
Another weekend and inkjet printers.
