theducksRaining down a storm here today.. vewwy windy and wet. Went out printer shopping. Was going to get a HP Deskjet 5550 for mum, since my printer doesn't work with OSX (gah, lamers at Canon :P) .. stopped off at a second hand place with her first, and found something "even better", being a Canon S400.. which takes the same carts. as the one I currently have, but works with OSX.
So bought that and got it home.. and it's not printing our black from either of the BC-33 print heads I have, but it does print out from the BC-34 photo print head.. but that's more expensive ink. So, what I shall be doing is this.. I will go to Officeworks and buy a new BC-33e print head (~$100.. blah), and try that. If that doesn't work, I'll take that back to Officeworks (yay for 30 day no questions asked returns) and take the printer back to Cash Converters (again, yay for 3 months warrenty), and THEN buy the Hewlett Packard.. hehe. Still, even with paying $100 extra, it'll be cheaper than the HP :) And I get mucho new ink carts.. oy. I was going to see the old BJC-3000, but if it's $100 to get it working again, I doubt Mark will be interested in it. Oh well :)
Went down to the shops.. *sniff* I knew _1_ out of 12 of the checkout ops. The changing of the guard ;) Ahh well. Saw Susan the nurse, who used to be a customer, and who I kinda keep in touch with these days. Actually in the past I have reffered to her as the Stalker!Nurse, cause she emailed me once while I was working at coles after finding my webpage. Not that I mind.. was just a little freaky ;) Hehe. She and I had a good ole chat and catchup today. She's going to Japan, then Canada, then England for a working holiday. Lucky duck. Leaving in November, Xmas in Montreal, then off to London in 2003. I may catch up with her in London in 2003.. who knows.
And now I'm off to have an afternoon nap.. or am I? It's 6PM. Beh. Next saturday is supposed to be my friend Patrick's b'day party.. but it's also my uncle's .. and unfortunately, I think I will have to do the family thing.. hmm or maybe not. I dunno.. I haven't seen my uncle for a while really, and he's family, but Patrick is a good friend too.. Meh!
