Reset Error Code 6502 – Cannon MP620
I recently installed a continuous inking system into my Canon MP620 Multi-Purpose printer. It went relatively painlessly, except when restarting. The ink tubes got caught under the housing and jammed the print head against the right hand side of the printer, causing a 6502 Error Code. I fixed the jam, and restarted the printer, everything …
Lift
I have to admit, I like my music and I often like to pay attention to the lyrics in certain (if not most) songs. The last few months have been relatively trying on me and this song came on the radio. It’s not a new song, it’s probably a couple of years old now. There …

If programming languages were religions
C would be Judaism – it’s old and restrictive, but most of the world is familiar with its laws and respects them. The catch is, you can’t convert into it – you’re either into it from the start, or you will think that it’s insanity. Also, when things go wrong, many people are willing to …

The Weight of your Music Collection
This site use to be oh so about me losing weight… Somewhere along the way, I lost my way, but I am hoping that one day I’ll get back into it. But a shocking story on weight gain caught my attention the other day. The iPhone is getting fatter! Well, not so much, fatter, but …
2 ways to trim youtube videos
I found a page that detailed a way to trim a youtube video. Which incidentally reminded me about tubechop. I read over the page that showed me another way to do it. I liked it because it uses the actual youtube video and inserts start and end tags (the end tag didn’t seem to work …
