All the breath that I own imprinted one word in red.

The printer is nice. It scans! (Expect more old Party Fears up some time.) It prints! The bundled software would suck on Windows, let alone on a Mac, but that's fine because we don't use it! It comes with a starter pack of high-quality photo paper and arkady nipped out and got a ream of plain A4, so we're good to go. Printer sharing on the Mac is pathetically easy and the Ubuntu laptop picked it up with no problems (in fact, our first printout was an Ubuntu colour test page). I like this new toy.

Mind you, you have to make sure your paper is in properly:

My first printout!

We reorganised redcountess' desk so that everything fits (Mac under desk, PC flat on desk, printer on PC where it fits exactly, monitor on other side, there's room on the desk and you can see out the spare room window now). Now all we need is an ADC to DVI adapter so we can run both computers to the same monitor.

arkady has been helping with the housework today. House inspection Tuesday morning! Yay.

Tomorrow is a Wikimedia UK meeting to start a charity. Royal Oak, 44 Tabard Street, Borough SE1 4JU. 12-2pm lunch, meet and chat, 2-6pm get stuff properly organised (once we're all a couple of pints down). Jimbo will be along.

I mentioned probability of absence on my own LJ a few days back (frankly, Sundays are the worst choice of day for such things ... saturdays would be far easier / preferable).

sfa JF is concerned, I sent him my thoughts pre-Whitby and he's never replied further. I don't think the draft on WM is sensible in quite a few ways (starting with the use of the word "Charity" in the MoA/AoA as there is, imho, a strong likelihood that at some point in the future we may need to change/tweak the structure and whilst a "company" can be a charity, a "charity" cannot be a company, for all that that entails. There are also some other major points, but I'm not wanting to attend another meeting like the one I attended today ...
