Sunday, September 9th, 2007Well of the things I ment to do today only the dull cleaning jobs seem to have happened due to a combination of Civ IV Warlords being on sale at Virgin, a good book and a mild cold I just don’t seem to be able to get rid of.

The printer sat there. I checked the cables. I checked the paper feed. I checked the ink. Nothing. So I went […]

Were the instructions not clear? Well once you’d put it together […]
