Nothing to See Here

I just had to repost this, from mitrian:

Someone made a short (~7.5 min) movie of this. It's here - go watch it.

I have a fantastic printer.

A Dell 5100cn colour laser printer, with built-in duplexing unit and built-in ethernet and it's bloody fast (>30 pages per minute if not duplexing; still bloody fast even when duplexing). It's really meant to be for a not-so-small office, but I have it at home. I got it 1/2 price when our company's Dell rep wanted to make his quarter (apparently in 1 day, we -- that is, the company and staff of the company -- doubled his quarter, so he was quite the happy camper). Anyhow, lovely printer.

Alas, it occasionally wrinkled pages when duplexing (printing double-sided).

It's under warranty, but I never had time to get around to calling Dell to get them to come out (on-site next-day service -- remember this, it's important) until Thursday last week.

Cough. Sore throat. Congestion (not too bad since I took a Sudafed 24hr thingy at 6am). Yuck. :/

Yay! It's frakkin' shiny!



The remarque (a sketch done on the print; never repeated) is really great. I think it's a better likeness than in the print itself. Very cool. :) For a better picture of the print itself, not my copy in particular, see the image on jasonpalmer.net.

So, the last entry left us with the situation that the Banctec tech would try to figure out what the minor part which got a tab broken off was. He couldn't figure it out (probably because it's not a part they normally provide [separately]), so asked if I had a digital camera and could send him photos so he could ... I guess get Dell people to identify the part? So, well, I took photos.
