What do you mean YOU need a BAILOUT

In case you don’t notice, the one needing bailout is the kid who already has lots and lots of monopoly money and properties ;)

Clever cartoon from Washington Post.

Wellington surgeons removed tumor from East Timorese baby

By Sid | October 30, 2008

Wellington surgeons volunteering their time and skills have removed a giant tumour from an East Timorese baby in a life-saving operation that pared a third off the youngster’s weight. Fourteen-month-old Alex Gonzaga and his mother Elisa Da Conceicao flew into the capital about a fortnight ago so Alex could be operated on by a 10-member surgical team at Wellington Hospital.

The 3.3-kilogram benign tumour was removed on Sunday and Alex is now recuperating.

Alex, who weighed about 11kg before the surgery, is expected to make a full recovery with no long-term consequences.

I was actually one of the interpreters for that child, Alex and his mum, Elisa, as they don’t speak English at all.

Installing EEE PC Xandros driver for Lexmark Z600 (Z615) series printer

By Sid | September 9, 2008

Just got back from 6 weeks overseas trip, still in shock moving back to winter land. One thing I had in mind during my trip was to try to get my EEE PC to work with my cheap old Lexmark Z615 printer that I got free when I bought my old laptop. So I did some googling and found http://www.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~mai/files/debianZ600.html and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=215657.

I can’t seem to print in landscape, but printing portrait black and white seem to work fine (haven’t tried printing in color). I’ve printed from Open Office Calc and from text editor; worked well for both.

I’m so proud of my little EEE PC laptop! It can now does real printing :-)
