Given that most of the new scanners from HP are not supported under
Linux, it was nice to see that this printer/copier/scanner works fine.
Here are the packages I needed:
apt-get install hpoj hpoj-xojpanel hpscanpbm libsane-extras
Scan directly from gimp (File->Acquire->Xsane), sane or the command line scanimage.
More debian packages installed on the laptop today

it was interesting enough to give it a

Lunar Eclipse tonight
Thursday, May 15th, 2003Our 6th
grader’s science teacher is giving out extra credit if the
students see the lunar eclipse tonight. It took 10 minutes to wake
and get Spencer outside, but unfortunately it is very cloudy and we
couldn’t see anything.

Right thinking people use Mozilla or other
web browsers and, of course, are safe from this
little hack. Add it to *your* website.

Who is osbourne.homeip.net?
Friday, May 9th, 2003I was checking out my access logs and saw that osbourne.homeip.net
is referencing a bunch of images on my webserver. It looks like they
are using blosxom as some sort of aggregator. Take a look at
t/cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi.
Its nic
e to be noticed, I suppose.
I’m guessing their day job is at lexis-nexis.com and it looks like
they use a sun workstation to surf. :-)
