I’m a failure…
Wednesday, October 31st, 2007Lexmark compatibility with OS X 10.5 Leopard
Wednesday, October 31st, 2007Okay, so I’ve run into my first Mac OS X 10.5 problem this morning….
So I was about to leave for class but decided to check to see if there were new notes up (the prof has been a bit late with notes lately), so I went onto ‘Blackboard’ and found new notes. I saved a copy onto my harddrive and then proceeded to try and print the notes… That’s where the problem came… No matter which program I used to try and print, the program would crash. I decided to stop attempting to print it and go to class… During my ‘lunch’ break I did a little ‘googling’ and found out that there’s driver issue with between many Lexmark printers and Leopard…
I contacted Lexmark and all they could say was that they’re working on updated drivers but don’t have a projected date for release yet, but their website says the drivers for series that my printer belongs to won’t be available until JANUARY 31, 2008. SIGH…. guess my Mac mini will either have to find its way back to OS X 10.4 Tiger from OS X 10.5 Leopard… that or do the workaround that people come up with… which is deleting a file that’s installed along with the driver, I’ll see how it goes…
Mac OS X Leopard
Tuesday, October 30th, 2007So thanks to Anney, I got the latest mac OS, Mac OS X Leopard today!! The first thing I did was to make sure I hard latest backups of both my Mac mini and my MacBook, using trusty SuperDuper, I did a smart update of both systems to ensure I had the lastest backups then I proceeded to upgrading my Mac mini, for two reasons, first and foremost, I’m less dependent on my Mac mini, I can live if something goes wrong with it after the install it’s not so critical, and secondly, it’s got newer hardware compared to my MacBook. So after the Mac mini was upgraded and all was well I checked a few things to make sure things worked they way they used to. Then I made a copy of my MacBook backup on a new drive, I was upgrading to a higher capacity, after the copy was complete, I upgraded my MacBook with Leopard. So now everything’s great, Leopard installed on two systems and most things seem to be okay, of course I haven’t tested everything, but that’s okay, cause it seem to be fine thus far.
It’s OVER…
Sunday, October 28th, 2007It’s finally OVER… no, I don’t mean it’s over between Anney and I, cause we’re going to be together FOREVER. I mean hell week… I wrote my chem midterm yesterday, which was brutal…. I can almost see my mark, it’s probably goign to be below 50… maybe even below 40…. I’m going to be so screwed for the final… YAY!!! Anyways, all that’ left is a midterm next Friday (physiology), a material science assignment, 5 more online math quizzes, and maybe a few online chem quizzes, other than that I’m look straight at the final, oh I forgot to mention the chem and material science labs, but those won’t be too bad, I don’t think.
1 Midterm + 1 Lab + 1 part Assignment down…
Wednesday, October 24th, 2007So on Monday I had a lab done and submitted, that was pretty smooth got it down and in on time, no problem… Yesterday (Tuesday) I had my material science midterm, which was horrible, I’m pretty sure I failed that one, was a total rape, there was nothing left of me after that exam, was totally raped and dead. After I attended the rest of my classes, I went into the computer lab and got the part of the assignment that was due this week graded. Thus far I think I’m surviving, except for the material science midterm… hopefully the rest of the week will be smooth…
