i been playing around with linux since the mid '90s. currently, i use ubuntu server and centos. linux is still my preferred os for server usage.

i just upgraded to windows 8 professional 64bit. putting it through its paces. bootup time is better than windows 7 was for me.

hp laserjet 1012 in windows 8:
hp says this printer is no longer supported in windows 8, and there are no drivers. but, i noticed the hp site specifies the 1012 as a pcl5 printer. i looked in the driver list when you go to install this printer, and i found a pcl5 driver for the laserjet 2200. i installed it, but pointed it to my laserjet 1012, and it worked. it printed the test page just fine.

i have been dabbling with programming in some form since my parents bought a ti-99/4a way back in 1981. i never really mastered any particular language, but i am able to pick up any language pretty fast, and get work done.

i like music ♫ ♬ ♪ ♩ .....
