Sorry Mark - I just realised that I sent this mail to you a few days ago rather than the alug list. 2009/9/29 MJ Ray <mjr(a)phonecoop.coop>: > Jenny Hopkins wrote: >> I've got a problem with an HP Photosmart R507 camera on an ubuntu >> jaunty system.

Thanks for the pointers - it would be great to go there and fix it instead of flapping around again. Someone muttered something about firmware - would there be any way i can check that out?

*zaps list back into life*
by Adam Reid 06 May '08

06 May '08

Not really social per se, but probably nearer being on topic than if sent to the main list ... although I do wonder how many people this will actually reach as a result, but hey ho. :) In a nutshell, for various reasons I'm looking for new accommodation, and was wondering if any of the Ipswich department were renting out a room, or considering doing so for extra income? I'd much prefer to live with technically inclined people if possible, hence this missive. I'm an excellent tenant, most of the time you'd not know I was even in the house. Please feel free to contact me directly about it. Thanks for reading, ~Adam

Pudding Day
by sfr 07 Jun '07

07 Jun '07

It is decreed that next Sunday, i.e. 10 June, will be Pudding Day. You are invited to come to Mayes Close (Norwich) from noon until midnight or any part of that time, to partake of puddings and cakes of various kinds, some savoury but most sweet. We are leaving Mayes Close soon, and also it's sfr's birthday on Wednesday. Please come and say goodbye, and help us use up the baking ingredients and Viv's pudding collection. Donations of drink would be most welcome. -- sfr (mine's a James White Bramley Apple Juice, thanks), HMG, HMV, HMB
