再见了, 小Ham

不久前伊伍伊柒的双雄 (aka 小Ham*)不幸病逝。
土葬的那晚,我把长得最好的一盆龙珠果苗移植到双雄的墓上。
那晚我也下决心,终有一天把我所有的龙珠果种到那。

不知过了多少个'七'的今天,乘着这几天下雨,泥土较湿较松软,
我终于把龙珠果苗全移到E4的防土崩堤上。

希望龙珠果能茁壮成长,早日结果
更希望多年以后回来龙珠果还在,不会在KE塞主,邀月玫瑰的一声令下被铲除…
伍柒双雄请你多保佑…

*p/s: 我自己给的,没询问过主人的意见

双雄的陵墓
但也未免太大了吧…
注: 那不是龙珠果花

Finally Finish Uploading

Finally finish uploading my tons of photos taken during exchange in Sweden, and especially those taken during my final Ultimate EUROam trip around the European continent.
Can finally delete the 20+ GB of photos off my harddisk.

Oh well.. dun think anyone would have the patience to go through each and everyone of them.
After all they were all taken around one year ago. =)
But I upload them here in case anyone wanna use them as a reference to plan their next trip.

Enjoy! My one whole exchange semester worth of joy & excitement.

Fixing My Printer: Canon PIXMA iP1000 Waste Ink Absorber Full

Bought this printer in my Year 1. Canon PIXMA iP1000
Had been getting responses from friends around that a lot of their iP1000 are spoilt recently.
After using mine for 3.5 years, recently it had been showing a lot of pop-ups saying the 'waste-ink absorber is almost full'
And today, it finally pop-up one saying:
"The waste ink absorber is full. contact the service center for replacement of the waste ink absorber"
No matter how dry I clean it, it just won't allow me to print.

I prowl the web, and there are many helpful souls out there who faced the same situation before and are willing to share their experience.
Many suggested sending it to the Canon Service Center. (I might as well buy a new one..)
Some say remove the cover, then dismantle and clean the waste-ink absorber (I tried already la...)

Buried under the many suggestions of physical steps to solve the problem,
I finally come across this forum which says 'the problem can be solved just by resetting the counter'

4 step to Reset waste ink tank counter CANON PIXMA iP 1000
STEP 1:- Disconnect printer from AC power
STEP 2:- Press and HOLD the POWER button, and connect printer to AC power
STEP 3:- release the the POWER button
STEP 4:- Press the POWER button again

And guess what!
IT WORKS!!

So much for the hassle of cleaning the printer..

Fixed it for the time being..
Hope this will last me a few more years. =)

Some software recommended by some other forums that allow one to reset the various counters built into the printer.

Here's how to really clean the Waste Ink Absorber physically. I consolidated them from a few websites into this word document.

Celebrating 人日 ~捞鱼生~

Finally the day of the actual 捞
Upon request by Mr Bear, everyone is to bring some food for pot-luck
So this time we have many tit-bits from home all over M'sia, cheese cake (^o^), chocolate from Japan (*^O^*)
sure is mouth-watering...
well.. except the 捞'ed YuSheng at the lower right

捞啊!捞啊!!捞啊!!!

video in Facebook

The 鱼生 (again without the fish)
But I think the one we prepared for Dry Run look much better. =P
Many thanks to those who were present to make this 捞鱼生 a memorable one
Even more thanks to those who insisted that this 捞鱼生 was to be carried out in E712. =)
Thank you so much for sparing me from mopping the floor.
