issenlloFic:
Machine Learning, Hikaru, Akira, Hikago, by karanguni, written for Not Prime Time challenge
Blue-Eyed Monster, James Bond/Q, WIP, Skyfall, by Only_1_Truth.
Non-fic:
How to view side-by-side apps in Windows 8.1. Hidden Manual indeed. Well, I knew it could be done, but it wasn't a compelling factor to find out how, until recently. Useful to know.
After I got my Surface last year, I used it more in the nature of a toy - after all, it had very few apps that made tablets fun - and for playing video clips, especially after my laptop became wonkier (something with the video card). Began to rely on it more when I did my training stint, and now carry it everywhere (well. It is a bit weighty.) just because there're so many documents on it now. I guess it's quite functional, though I've heard that many people who got the Surface have given it up in frustration because reasons. *shrugs* I'm ok with it, would be happy to get the next version. Now if only it will connect to my printer.
That thing where you wish fanfic-land were like life
I wish, like fanon Sherlock, that life is not a series of situations where I have to keep repeating myself. (Does that happen in canon? I only remember loads of fics were Sherlock supposedly hates repeating himself to mere mortals.) I also get annoyed when other people repeat themselves, especially when I have to sit there and not point this out.
(My annoyance scale runs concurrently with my 'bored-now!' scale, which are both trigger sensitive.)
I'm trying to counsel a friend and I've been repeating myself because friend is troubled. And in trouble. But stubborn. I don't like repeating myself... *whines*

Date: 2014-08-03 10:26 am (UTC)Is it a network printer you're trying to connect to? (printer is connected to the network through an ethernet cable, rather than from computer to printer with USB) Maybe check if the printer company has an installer package for 8.1 or if you can manually add it using the printer's IP. (You can get the IP by printing out the info page from the printer, there's usually some kind of settings report.)
