D110a & Your Mac

For my friend Margaret:

1 - Download the latest HP Driver for you printer here >>> ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software11/COL32506/mp-80514-1/PS_AIO_07_D110_USW_Full_Mac_WW_11.dmg

2 - Run the installer & follow the prompts

That should get your printer online (wired, at least). The wireless feature may be very simple. It's usually a part of the Setup Wizard.

Cooking Tip of the Day

2011-05-19T20:11:00.000-04:00

Divorced and Homeless Ramen

Ingredients:

Maruchan Chili-flavor (Spicy) Ramen (2 packets, because you’re hungry, very very hungry)
Creamy Peanut Butter (two big tablespoons worth)

Pour in some water (it doesn’t matter how much) into whatever size bowl you have is about 3/4 of the way full. Microwave this water until hot. It doesn’t have to boil necessarily, if you can’t wait long; just at least pretty hot. Take bowl out of microwave, place beside kitchen sink. Plop ramen into hot water bowl. Give it about 3 minutes.

Then, using your college degree for once in the “real world”, tip the bowl over the kitchen sink, just so, to drain off excess water while achieving a 90%+ ramen retention level. Drain until water level is at least less than half the height of the ramen. Drain more if you like the finish product more pasty than soupy.

At this moment, bust open the two hot chili-flavor packets onto the ramen. Then, using the fork, dig out a big wad of peanut butter (about two tablespoons but why measure) and use fork to stir peanut butter, chili-flavored-salt, remaining hot water, and ramen all together. Very soon the water/seasoning/peanut butter will have merged into a tasty, nutritious sauce, that’s darn good with those ramen noodles. Guaranteed to cheer you up for 10 minutes.

Apple's Policy on Malware

2011-05-19T12:18:00.002-04:00

It's a fake virus app. Less than savvy users can be misled into thinking they have a virus on their Mac.

Apple's solution?

Don't help 'em.

Ron's drunk!

Same Alan Jackson 2001 concert T from yesterday. Sitting in the same spot (next to the trashcan) but with a new 6-pack of Bud Light.

Here's to you, Ron. Blow'd up building the Cut. Cut in half by a train. Beat down more than any soul should suffer.

Cheers.

Mission Statement

2009-09-07T13:04:00.000-04:00

Why blog?

Simple -- there's been a lot going on here on Westwood this Summer. New ex-con's have moved into the 'hood. Of course, they have attracted an interesting assortment of cops, dog catchers, habitual offenders, ambulances, fire trucks, etc.

It began around Bele Chere and has been active ever since. This is an easy way to remember who/what/why/when. And there's been plenty of it.

So enjoy the mayhem! I'll try to post the news as it happens (usually in the 10pm to 4am 'Drunken Hours of the Morning')

Animal Control

2009-09-07T12:49:00.000-04:00

Gotta love it when one house on the skreet uses more safety services than any other. The con-house still has not figured out how to leash their two pit bulls. Animal control should be able to help.

Poor dogs. Must suck to be owned by 24/7 drunks.
