Now that I got my printer working again, and networking to my Linux box, now it’s off to figure out how to print reliably.

I don’t want to figure out why CUPS has issues — it seems to simply refuse to accept connections from my MacBook Pro after a while of working fine. I do [...]

My new job hasn’t really started yet — problems with the contract, yadda-yadda contractor stuff. So today Gina, Leah and I went to FarmHousE Cafe and then headed to the zoo for the morning. We avoided the rain, but the air felt like 110% humidity.
