Printer

Set up my printer today. The big problem was that the software on the CD couldn't see the printer over the network while installing.

Solution (as in most hardware installation problems) download the drivers directly from the manufacturer's website.

Advantages to this are: you get the latest drivers, things tend to just work(TM) and you get no crapware installed (your printer works and that's that!).

[If you have a problem getting the your Mac to see the Canon MP560 printer - go to the Canon website and download the drivers!]

A Dismal Science?

The current state of economics, well summed up.

Gay Google

Google is paying people in long term homosexual relationships more to compensate them for not being able to avail of tax breaks which married couples receive.

I just spotted an interesting comment on the story.

A guy in CA was collecting signatures for a bill to really protect the value and sanctity of marriage. He was trying to ban divorce.

Strangely, not many of these people were willing to sign.
