The culprit: HP Officejet 5610
The offense: Refusing to print PNG images
The printer is connected by USB. I’ve reset the printer multiple times. I’ve replaced the drivers multiple times. I try to print a PNG image (color) and it comes out.. blank? I can print the same exact image to any network printer in the office without problems. I convert the image to a JPG and it prints out just fine.
In my research I found that some printers using Postscript drivers have problem with PNG transparency but I couldn’t get any details beyond “sometimes it doesn’t work”. I’m about to have an Office Space moment.
Chinook are rapidly spreading into the rivers of Chile and Argentina.
Hard to believe it’s the same species. But the chinook salmon, conservation heartbreak of the U.S. West Coast, is invading and thriving in South America.
Met up with Ron in Port Angeles on Thursday night. Did the fireworks and beer thing then got down to business. We hooked up with Rons buddy Geoff, he’s the guy with a lot of toys including a bright shiny boat. I’ve never fished the ocean before so this was a wicked trip to start with.
We eventually rolled out around 12pm, everyone needed to catch up on some sleep I think.
Toward the end of our first pass one of the rods jumped up. I ran over and set the hook, fish on.
Two big runs then it was game over. I like fishing in the ocean, whenever I hook something like that in the river I’m worried it’s going to find some big rocks or a random tree to break you off. They’ve also got a lot more energy out in the salt.
We followed it up a little later with another king, wild again.
Port Angeles’ relatively-safe catch.
Nothing but starfish
This all took place over the course of 3-4 hours but it was definitely the highlight of my vacation. Stopped in to see my Mom in Forks and tried the Sol Duc out. I ended up with a broken rod and no fish. Lots of Springers jumping around but unwilling to take a bite. Still a bit early for Sockeye but I’ll be back in 2 weeks to put the hurt on them.
On July 25 I will silently celebrate my appreciation day.
Yes I’ve had to tell coworkers which was the “correct” mouse button, even had someone try and use the spacebar once. Also.. you don’t need to double click links while browsing the internet.
I never really moved into my apartment, it’s always been a “temporary” arrangement. (Going on temporary 2 years now.) Recently I’ve thinking about decorating and found this:
Temperatures in the low 80s and my first real dose of sun in about 9 months, complete with awesome sunburn.
Caught a lot of fish, 99% rainbows and 1 crappie. Saw a few 5-9lb fish being pulled out of the lake but we didn’t get anything near that. Had one on probably about 3lbs and 80% of the way to the boat before it tossed the hook. Also got a good view of some lakefront property available on the lake
So apparently this isn’t a joke, this listing is actually on her website. The awesome shack just happens to sit on 16 acres bordering the lake.
A while back I put up a hack to require SSL on some Drupal pages by adding a block that checked for SSL and if it wasn’t present redirected the person to https. That was a bad solution and could of been done better with htaccess.
If you need to secure a single page it seems like you have to use the “node/xxx” format in “Pages that will be secure.” I tried using the URL path alias but it didn’t work regardless of / or *
Together these modules are going to make life easy as I push to have all my coworkers start creating thier own forms for online signup to our programs. If you haven’t tried it, Webform: http://drupal.org/project/webform is super easy to use and pretty flexible.
I do a lot of easy text parsing at work, typically stripping out relevant information to a CSV. What I do is far simpler than whats covered in the link below but it’s been very useful the last hour or so.
