In my CUPS yet again!

A few days ago, I posted a reminder about how to deal with installing the latest level of CUPS and the HPIJS drivers on a Mac.

Tonight, I discovered an important caveat when I tried to install them on Jeff’s new Mac: do not try to install the HPIJS drivers before you install GhostScript (and possibly FooMatic)!

If you do, the installer will go into an uninterruptable loop, beeping at you, and the only way out is a shutdown.

Needless to say, I discovered this the hard way.

Hike and Havdalah

At the Shir Hadash Hard Hat Ball earlier this year, we signed up for “Hike and Havdalah”, and, after a few false starts, the event finally took place yesterday. One of the hosts brought along his GPS, and after the event, sent me a Google image showing where we’d walked (the blue line — downhill, mostly).

My calves have been letting me know that they aren’t used to that kind of downhill walk, but other than that, it was great fun and I’d like to do it again.

(Oh, and even though there are caches indicated on the picture, we didn’t even try to find them.)
