I kept getting empty cartridge messages on the LCD of my Brother 440CN inkjet printer. Even though my black ink was full, it kept prompting my to change my cyan cartridge. I hardly print in color and everything I print is in black. So annoying. When you start getting those messages, you can’t get past it or do anything on your printer.

Anyway, I read somewhere on the internet that you can fake the printer into thinking that the cartridge is full by putting a black electrical tape over the ‘ink window’ of the cartridge. I tried it and it worked !!

If you are like me and can’t remember which IP ranges goes with which subnet or if it takes too long to divide sunbets into smaller ones, then you need this app.

I ‘ve been using this for a couple of years now and it never failed me.

Got my new cellphone today.  Decided to buy it from Amazon because it was $199.99 on the ATT Wirelesss web site. It was FREE on the Amazon site. Decided to get it because I already had a Q before that was using Windows Mobile and didn’t want to have to ave to learn a new OS (Blackberry). Anyway, this has a keypad (which I wanted) plus a touchscreen too.

Outlook has an automatic completion for any email address that you try to type into the To or CC fields. This feature does not pull from the contacts or address book, because you may have tried to email somebody that wasn’t in your contact list, and it will still add that to the auto complete list.

The problem comes in when you put in a bad address, and then every time you go to type in the email address, the incorrect one appears in the auto complete list.

To fix this problem, there are two ways around this. The easiest way is this:

+ Start typing in the address that shows up incorrectly.
+ Hit the Down arrow key to select the auto completed address.
+ Hit the Delete key to delete the auto complete address

I just bought a Wii (without all the bundled software) for $249.99 (no tax and free shipping) from Amazon. It’s hard to get and is always sold out but if you go to the Amazon site, you can put your phone number to send you an SMS when it comes back in stock.

I entered my phone number yesterday and it just sent me an alert to my cellphone telling me that it would come in stock in 15 minutes. I just logged in, waited and bought a unit.

I was looking around for a Photoshop tutorial site and stumbled across this one – which I thought was pretty good.

I just added this using the “Press This” feature.

This is pretty useful especially the second feature (I’ve always wanted to do that !)
