What has been happening.

Well I have been working. Alot. I have been working 41+ hours a week. Don't get me wrong, it is nice to see that paycheck every week. I am currently about 1/8th of the way of saving up for next semester's tuition. Anyway, I have been thinking of all sorts of ways to make money without doing work. If I wanted to get fat and lazy, there is a trucking company that will hire me for about 1100 a week after I get a cdl license. That would be okay, but I really need to know more before jumping head first into such a thing. Anyway, I have also been trying to set up a printer on the network here at the house. It is being a pain in the rear. Basically, I can not get the administrative rights to the thing without becoming OkiData certified. The story behind it is that dad bought an expensive color laser printer for the office and wants to use its features as a network printer and not have to have a computer to serve the printer to the rest of the network. Well, the printer has a login similar to that of a home wireless router. You can log into it the same way. There are some interesting features that are visable WITHOUT the administrative login, but without the login, you can not easily change printer network settings. The OKIDATA website is of no help what ever. The pages load very slowly, and you can not download anything but the manuals from that page making it very useless. Why can't this printer be like the printer that my dad had priviously? It even worked easily with linux. Oh well. I will have to play with it more after a few hours of sleep. Later.
