Convert your new baby, Lotus. You will need a Continuous Ink Supply.

You will need a Continuous Ink Supply. George, one of the must do things for me is getting this system onto my printer. I know that your photos of the ink gadget is somewhere in the files here... but where?

Yes, you are right Nobby, but I wish to point out the time of my post...that should give me a little leeway... ;D Ditto, Loops.

Not that it matters NOW, but I spent quite some time Saturday tracking down that old thread. It's in Ye Publick House and is called 'printer costs'. Something's wrong with our setup. Printed okay the first time. Now it won't. After Roger M gets back from school he'll fiddle with it some more. Yours seems to have pieces ours doesn't have, George. Jade, when you get ready to buy, if you want what George has just print the picture and take it to the computer store. That's what we did. Epson should give him commission. I bought a new baby today. Before I read further I thought maybe you had 'grandma-envy' and were trying to imitate Woza's life. Glad you cleared that up. Having a baby would seriously cramp your lifestyle and I depend upon your photos of amazing places so I can travel vicariously.

My children have been given very clear instructions that they are not to make me a grandmother for many many years!! They have also been told from the time that they were tiny that if they wanted me to babysit they would have to find me at the bottom of the Himalayas. Funny how things said in jest have a way of coming true. Being good and dutiful daughters they are concentrating on their studies and careers and so far not one of the 3 of them look anywhere near marriage or baby stakes. New toys are much safer for me.

Actually, now that I know that little trick it seems bloody obvious - create a vacuum and all - but likely wouldn't have come up with the solution myself. I'd like to say that I hate it when you are right, but it just isn't true. I'm too grateful that the printer is working again. I owe you a beer (or 3 or 4) in real life

Ruth when George askedyou if you had taken the caps off I thought he was being a condescending bastard and I was surprised that he didn't ask you if you had plugged it in and turned it on. I thought he was treating you like an idiot.
I don't know who to apologise to first.
While we are on the topic. Is it only epson that has this fantastic function. I have a canon BJC-1000SP.
Lotus I really like teh sound of the 3 in 1 setup how much did it cost may I ask.
This totally a different topic maybe one for DS. hsi morning one of the student's told me another studnt's brother had died quite suddenly from what I can gather was from totoul, a solvent if I understand correctly . He was working in a shoe factory. His blood was poisoned or his immune system. It is really sad as she had to come back to work pretty much straight away. Another person in the factory has also been affected. I tried tjo look it up on the internet with little success. Could anyone throw some light on this

I got it for 600Y. Nice little compact printer. I needed one I could scan and photocopy books. You can also get them with a fax as well, but I figured that I have only faxed stuff maybe 3 times since I have been here, and the FAO does it for free so why should I pay money for that!

Stop licking your ass and you won't notice it. But isn't such flexibility every man's dream....? For their girlfriends, yes. For themselves........ not so much.

That is really reasonable Lotus. Can you hook up the ink thing like George. I think be able to photocopy books would be a real plus. I seem to be talking across the crowded table at the bar and I really wish Roaul would let the pretty waiter get on with his job and stop talking to him so can come and clears the glasses off the table. Guys talking about being able to lick their balls. My little Tommy is a whiz and as from his point of view it is not overrated

George what makes you think as I women that I can bite my bum. Do you think that women are more flexible.
A techie guy someone like George would be great I am going to invite him home a lot when he gets here on the pretext of a home cooked meal or a cold one. Lock him in my bedroom and get him to do his stuff I think he knows a lot about computers.

George, thanks for that. (To the biting bums and licking scrotums crowd... I'm sure I heard of a joke about a couple of Irishmen watching a dog etc, etc. I wish I had a head for jokes but sadly they go in one ear and out the other.)

Coming up the hill which is really a ruddy great plateau on top of a mountain is really becoming interesting. Last week I had to resort to shanks pony and a couple of lads from the PE department and the Jiao tong basketball team. This week I get into a taxi with the cutest taxi driver in China... I know because I've ridden in his cab before with the son. This very cute guy owns his taxi but doesn't speak a word of English. He has however had a karoke machine installed in his taxi since my last ride with him some six months ago. A small one in the passenger seat sun viser. The selection of songs weren't great... I'm a big big girl... etc but I gotta give this boy the for innovation and customer service.

One of the Fts lent me a DVD The American Folk Blues Festival 1962 to 1966. I have just started watching it . Now I like blues but let's not be too sacred about blues. This old black guy singing I cracked up. This old fart with 2 teeth in his head is singing to a 12 bar blues rythmn about how he pissed all of his money away and now he wishes he had saved to have a mortgage. WTF . Now this may sound cruel. I can't even listen to Nina Simone anymore I think in a lot of ways she was a wanker. If Bob Dylan crumbles and falls I will be left with the sound of one hand clapping which is really boring and annoying All of my icons are crumbling. The pedestal has rotted away. Does this mean I am growing up? Anyway had a great class tonight with the students took Tommy and the teaching material was great. I love it when you go into the classroom with a good lesson plan well you think it is and it works.
But all day I have been sad, as I posted on another thread about my student who lost her brother and I have been thinking about this a lot. I just can't let the bastards get away with this. I really want to find out, first the medical reports how he died who does the company export to and so this man does not die in vain. I would like to engage a lawyer on her behalf at the time I don't want to talk about this with her but her boyfriend I think we can do something. Am I being stupid and just forget it but I really believe this is just not an isolated issue in China for workers safety and as a foreigner we do have some sort of push.
