I think it was an Epson in the store -- how is it for other stuff? Good photos?
eta: Oh, look! Thanks, hiddensky.
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

I've got the R200 also. What HiddenSky said.
btefnet.net is down. Apparently, they got sued by the MPAA today.
Anyone know any alternatives?

You're welcome, ita. For about $100 for the R200, it's hard to go wrong. I've noticed plain paper photo printing is a bit more vibrant on Epson's own paper, but that's one of the few quirks I've noticed, and it's not that surprising. Photo paper prints are great, though. It prints right to the edge, so you don't have white borders on photos if you don't want them.
Can someone give me an example of a properly formatted RFC-822 time/date?
I'm trying to format the pubdate field of an RSS feed, and it's the only thing I can't seem to get validated. Reading this is just making my eyes cross.
My items look like this:
<item>
<title>Barefoot updates for 12th of May, 2005</title>
<pubDate>Thu, 12 May 2005 18:00:02 PDT</pubDate>
<link><![CDATA[http://barefoot.provocateuse.com/daily.php?date=20050512&stamp=180002]]></link>
<description>Barefoot and fancy free (1 new): elijah wood</description>
<author>barefoot@provocateuse.com</author>
</item>
using:
$pubdate = date("D, d M Y H:i:s T", $now);
I could swear that's what I have now, but I'll copy-paste and try again.
(Huh...now it's validating, but I still don't see any items when I try to subscribe on Bloglines. Thunderbird claims to be downloading 4, but only shows me 1.)
Guess I'll fiddle some more tomorrow when my brain wakes up.
Windows Media Player question - it won't play any streaming media content from the internet. I can play files off of my computer or the other computer on the network, but nothing off the internet.
Without the firewall on, I shouldn't have to define ports, right? Could it be a codecs thing? Or a conflict with Service Pack 2 (as so much is)?
The computer came with McAfee Security Center loaded, which I tried to eradicate from every nook and cranny of my system as it was preventing me from being networked, but is it possible there's still a remnant of it somewhere that's blocking WMP? I went through the registery pretty thoroughly.
Actually, the date-time format was updated in RFC 2822, and the syntax that ita is using is obsolete. The actual format is:
Fri, 13 May 2005 05:23:00 -0700
The time zone should be a numeric offset from GMT, so EDT is -0400, EST is -0500, and PDT is -0700.
The day of the week in the beginning is optional. The time is 24-hour time, and the hours, minutes and seconds should all be 2 digits, with leading zeros. The seconds are optional.
