it was nonstop

i'm bushed. work never stopped (save for lunchtime thank goodness!) the whole day... was so busy whole day i felt giddy by early afternoon. hate the multi-function copier 5m away from me. i can smell the ozone or whatever it creates whenever somebody prints from it. and i worked late!

ooh and i found out something about my hp photosmart 3110! in case anyone happens to be in the same situation as me and trying to search for help online all over to no avail, here's my discovery regarding that multi-function printer of mine to do with bluetooth. it seems that despite the sales people saying that the printer CAN ONLY work with the proprietary HP bluetooth adapter, that surprisingly isn't on sale at any retail outlets (you have to order it!)... i found out that not to be the case. i heard a suggestion from this guy i bought an ink cartridge (was running low on yellow) from a HP store that he had personally tried a 3rd party dongle! with this new-found knowledge i had come across (thanks to my darling who happened to ask for the heck of it anyway!) i tried my brother's bluetooth adapter. it's a class 1 (100m+ distance kind) and not a class 2 (30m+ kind) as mentioned by that guy. interesting to note is, the super slim bluetooth adapter of mine (that resembles a coin-sized flash drive) was never able to work with my printer before! only after i experimented with this bt adapter from my bro (which apparently was on a different bt driver-base (i think i read on wiki that there are 2 "bases" of sorts) and after plugging that in, my slim bt adapter could work on the printer too! i can now happily print from my phone direct to the printer! *sexcited* even rach's ibook was able to print via bluetooth with no fuss... that's pretty neat.

*cough cough dusty air*
