screaming monkey research

but HP’s crappy network printer driver keeps losing track of my printer.  Half the time I go to print and I have to reboot.  Now it isn’t even finding the printer at all.  So I can’t even spool a print job to it.  Need to find a long USB cable and hook it up that way.  The problem with USB is that the communication tends to get hosed before the print finishes.  I think my monitor goes to sleep and drops its USB ports which causes a hiccup and my prints stop printing.  Oh, well.

Still some leaves yet.  Light wind, good light and some clouds.  I took a couple hundred shots.

I put a few up on my Flickr page.  They’re in the Richardson Nature Center set.

Rushmore barfed a line 6 feet long.  Oily moist food, too.  At about 50% hair all her snacks are going to be for hairball control.

Need a new carpet.

It tastes like Brown Budweiser.  Try it.  You’ll see what I mean.

You can get actual Dye Transfer prints printed by Ctein for $100 each.  If I read the comments correctly this process is down to the last batch of materials produced by kodak.  So if you want an example of this kind of print you don’t have a lot of time.  I’m sure someone will figure out how to make the materials in small runs.  But try and buy a new Daguerreotype.

Anywho, you can buy one of the following two prints for $100 or two for $180.

Click here for the Ctein Dye Transfer offer  (It is at the end of the article.)  I think you have until the 18th or 19th to order them.  Got mine ordered.

You can also purchase larger versions at his regular $1100 price.

An article on the Dye Transfer process can be found here.  The Luminous Landscape has a video journal entry that shows Ctein making a print.  Probably from two years ago or so.

Meant to post this a while ago.  You can see the new (old) digs through the windows.
