I thought I was exaggerating.

I was not. We just finished sheet 5. It's been 40 minutes.

Most interested in the ESP Boy, the RC2014, and Poketmesh/Disaster Radio today.

Really seriously contemplating building a BBSbox out of an ESP8266, a small screen (nokia maybe?) and a tiny keyboard.

I might call it a netnavi.

But I'm printing 18 sheets of paper, and I still have to bind and trim them.

And I have ten more books to print after this one, so I'll be Speeding Up The Printer for the subsequent books.

I made the mistake of telling my printer to print at it's highest quality setting.

This is a new printer, which I have not used previously.

Apparently, High Quality means slower than erosion on stone. We're talking 1 sheet every 3 - 5 minutes.

Time to print some Comic Books.

Alright! tell me about your favorite open source hardware projects.

What home made computers and game machines are capturing your attention?

Turns out Windows performs really poorly if you move all your temp files to an external drive, and even more poorly if you try to use it with that external drive detached.

Thank you, customer, for teaching me this.

It'd be really swell if I could just save a color - small, black and white full size, and black and white small version of each of these documents and have the printer automatically parse that information.

Something like this probably exists for, like InDesign or similar, but that doesn't help me.

I wish there was a standard format in which to save the printer settings for a file, such that I could feed some data files and some settings files in to a print spooler and have the data files and settings files interpreted and acted on.

I have dozens of PDFs that I want to queue for printing with the same settings, and I have to manually set them every time. I can save them as a pre-set, but if I need to switch back and forth between two pre-sets I still have to set each one manually.

Coming out of my cage and it's been doing just fine.

To love.

Find me.
