Using CUPS for DeskJet Printing with a Netgear Print Server. For some time, I’ve used a Netgear PS110 print server to connect printers with just a parallel port to my home network so that my printers can sit in a more convinient location. Now that I’m using OS X, I was a little worried that it might not work. Turns out it works just fine using CUPS. Here’s what I did: [Windley’s Enterprise Computing Weblog]
Is it just me or is the world suddenly a much dangerous place than it was a year or so ago?
I write this on Amtrak as we pass through Brooklyn on the way back to Boston. Off to my left through the huge windows in my car is the skyline of lower manhattan. We all know what happened there.

Snowy Morning
Wow, serious Winter Wonderland stuff going down here. But yikes! I have to get to work and swap a rental car for my car in the shop even before that. Ugh.
I love the noise in this poem, especially the harness bells on the horse, when he says, “Hey, what’s up?”
Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening
Whose woods these are I think I know,
His house is in the village though.
He will not see me stopping here,
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer,
To stop without a farmhouse near,
Between the woods and frozen lake,
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake,
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep,
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
— Robert Frost
Off to NYC via Amtrak’s Acela Express yet again. 30 minute delay this morning, no doubt due to this white stuff on the ground. Weather guy on WBZ radio this morning said it dropped more than five billion pounds of snow on us this morning. Egads.
Listening to Enimem on the Ipod…
My tea’s gone cold, I wonder why
Got out of bed alone
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can’t see at all
And even if I could, it would all be gray
Put your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it’s not so bad
It’s not so bad
And it was a good day. Couple rounds of tea, some great gifts, the company of family and the telephone. Preparing for some horrible rounds of snow here. Off to NYC tomorrow for me, weather permitting. Should be a wild ride.
