Are you a wizard?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Man, I always forget how long these setups take. Now admittedly I did dismantle my entire media closet and rearranged all my routers, installed my new UPS, and reset my RAID array in order to accommodate the new (much larger) printer. But it looks pretty slick so far. Next up to get it to acknowledge that I have envelopes in drawer one and paper in drawer two (oh, sweet time-saver how I love thee) and to try out the photo paper prints. Which involves going through the whole driver rigamarole over on the mac.

Well, that side was super easy. Printed photos look great.

Only downside I can see so far is that paper capacity for the trays is 250 each. I read "paper capacity 500 sheets" as being each tray, not both together. So I can't load a full ream at a time. But that's obviously not a big deal. I think we're rolling! Tomorrow I'll haul the old one off to electronics recycling and be done with it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Anyone install the new iOS update yet? My boss did yesterday on his iPhone 5 and it failed, forcing him to restore from backup.

I just updated my iphone - but the update has been on my settings for ages.

I had to delete all my most used apps in order to have enough space on my phone (4S) to update. But now I've reinstated those apps and so far the phone is working.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If you don't have enough space on your phone, you can update via iTunes without deleting anything.

Thanks Tom - I've been delaying my upgrade for the same reason.

Anyone in the market for a good mirrorless interchangeable lens camera? The excellent Sony NEX-6 is on sale, as this model is being replaced with the new a6000 (which I just bought).

A Ridiculous Deal On The Mirrorless Camera For Everyone

eta: MIrrorless means it's like a DSLR but it lacks a moveable mirror that sends light to the viewfinder. As a result mirrorless cameras are much smaller than a DSLR. The NEX-6 has an LCD screen and an electronic viewfinder.
