I hate it when I do that...

Spent all morning, some of the afternoon, and a couple of hours this evening trying to figure out why my inkjet printer wasn't printing. The fact that xpdf also wasn't working suggested that the problem was a missing font, but after I installed a batch of fonts, changed the fonts on the labels, re-installed the drivers, and rebooted a couple of times I began to get suspicious. And then there was the fact that it wasn't printing a test page, which clearly didn't depend on what secondary fonts were installed.

Turned out the root filesystem was full. Including /tmp, of course. A simple apt-get clean got back 2.1GB. Dumb bear.

I have shipping labels now.

Your brain wasn't working, it was too hot today.

Ya know, I really need to get to your house and pick up my cd. Busy cleaning house for my party right now. Are you coming over on Sunday? If not, I'll try to be there next Wednesday, when hopefully it won't be so hot.

I'm not sure about Sunday, but I might come over if I happen to think of it.

The heat wasn't so bad this morning; I think it was just a case of stupidity.

thanks for the reminder; I think I got back a couple hundred meg myself.
