I'm so lucky to work with and for the people I do. Today I got to take home a functioning Apple LaserWriter 8500. It's freaking huge! And it prints 11x17. I got it printing from both the iMac and HP. Of course the iMac saw it right away without trouble. The HP with WinXP... well... it took some work. First I had to use the iMac to reconfigure the TCP/IP settings and change the IP address. Then I installed the drivers on the HP. It didn't work. I had to manually configure it to send raw data and then it worked just fine. But it's a network printer. Sweet!

I finally used last.fm for the first time and it picked some great tunes for me while I was at work. I was quite pleased. Audiscrobbler and last.fm rock my world! They just added a new server to Audiscrobbler so hopefully the recent troubles will start disappearing. I think I may contribute soon, depending on what I have for spending cash. It may have to wait a month.

{edit} Whoa! My Audioscrobbler profile finally caught up some! Of course, since I manually went in and added all the albums I own I have a bunch of mainstream stuff ranking high in my top artists, but that will only be temporary. As I listen to more that stuff will sink back down. Yay! {/edit}

Tomorrow I get my Bronco II. In a couple weeks I get the Suzuki Sidekick. It's going to be nice having a couple dependable vehicles on the road. It'll be even nicer once Kathy gets her license and starts driving herself for a change.
