cannot see webpages

Rudy was using Internet Explorer, and unable to see webpages…

Microsoft Help and Support Article 926431, “Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage”, has some great suggestions for when this happens:
Run the Network Diagnostics tool in Internet Explorer
Reset the modem or the router
Use the Delete Browsing History feature
Use the Internet Explorer (No Add-ons) mode
Temporarily disable the Internet security suite or firewall
Test Internet Explorer by using a safe mode startup option that enables networking

Before you consider using System Restore, I suggest you “prepare for the worst”…just in case.

Flip Video cameras

We talked to Mike who works in real estate about using Flip Video cameras…

Per their website the resolution is 640 x 480 pixels…VGA (Video Graphics Array)…256 colors at best. Think what Windows looks like during boot up, and in Safe mode.

I found a review at http://www.mightierthanthepen.com/2007/09/my-gear.html

Computerworld posted a video they shot with it:

For business purposes, he may want to consider better resolutions.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall Movie Review

About a week ago, my friend told me about this movie, “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” and I’ve been seeing the previews on TV… and sometimes on the TV previews they “only” show the funny parts of the movie…

Well, I got some passes to go the movie premiere of “Forgetting Sarah Marshall”, so I decided to go check it out…

I have to tell you… this movie is one worth paying for at the theaters… It is “non-stop” laughter from beginning to end…

I’m not going to give it away, but what I found most surprising, is the little bit of a treat it gave for us women… The other thing that I did not know is that Brandscome Richmond plays a part in the movie… I’ve met him a couple of times…

I totally enjoyed the movie… if you go by yourself, or with your wife/husband, girlfriend/boyfriend… you WILL be laughing!!!

The movie opens in theaters tomorrow, April 18. Go check it out!

printer waste ink tank

Bill had asked us about a Canon “9100” printer where the “waste ink tank” was full. I was able to find information about others who had similar issues. Check with Canon about:

Some “reset codes” to try…a particular procedure might work:
1)Turn off the printer. Press and hold the Resume/Cancel and Power buttons at the same time.
2)Release the Resume/Cancel button. (continue to hold down the power button)
3)While continuing to hold down the power button press the Resume/Cancel button 3 times then release both buttons.
4)The LED should now be green. Press the Resume/Cancel button 4 times. The led should be green.
5)Power it off and back on.

If that didn’t work, I have read that a “service reset program” (to reset the “service counter”) might exist.
