I remember one winter when it reached 99 degrees (close to 100) and it was in the middle of January. Sometimes mother nature can screw with our weather a lot. >_>

In San Diego it's in the mid 70's all year and I wish it was like that here. :(

One March a few years back it got to be about 90° here.. but other than that Florida does get its fair share of cold weather, as I have seen it dip below freezing before :P

Does anyone else hate it when your printer runs out of ink and you don't find out until you need to print something important out asap?

Or am I the only one. >>
That happened to me a couple of years ago on my printer, and the ink meters were still full.. probably just the ink in the cartridges drying up to cause that.

My printer is weird though.. its one of those cheaper printers that prints gradually instead of spitting the paper out, and the ink isn't totally dry either when something completes printing, especially colored prints.

All of my college classes will happen in the class, no online classes for me, so I expect to print a lot of things.

Then there's the "Sorry, cannot print black and white document, you are out of the color puce." joke. It's a joke, but I feel like it happens a lot.

Yep. Have to print out the things we're doing for lab and such. Which means I should probably get some more ink by next week since both our printers are out.

And oh god... my old printer was such a mess. If it ran out of one ink it just flat out refused to work, and not buying the correct ink like 3 ****ing times... this time I just bought the ink along with my printer and made sure it's the correct one.

Even if I wanted to print, my printer doesn't work with OS X - it gets stuck at printer is in use whenever I try to print something. If I really need to print, I'll copy it over to my windows 8 gaming pc and do it from there, but that hasn't happened in months.

Whenever my printer runs out of ink, it automatically turns itself off and gives us an error message when we attempt to turn it back on. My printer doesn't work too well with some of our computers, but I still love it though, because it's extremely easy to install ink into it. You just take off the top, remove the old ink cartridges, and put in new ones. This takes only two to three minutes, haha. d:

I wish there was a networked printer in my house, especially one that worked via wifi.. that way I wouldn't have to plug mine in every time I needed to use it, and save money as well with using one printer as well.. it's not like my parents print things often, but for the very purpose of printing, I needed my own printer since it was a hassle for me to have to save files to a flash drive and hook up to my parents' computer just to print something.

You can use dropbox, or another cloud storage service, but just keep all your school stuff there so it'll sync between your laptop and whatever computer your printer's connected to. It's pretty darn close to wifi printing if your printer is still oldskool.

Oh yes. I must agree with bis. Cloud storage is the best thing to ever happen on this planet. I use both skydrive and google drive, I also have dropbox in case I ran out of space. I can't remember the last time I actually used a USB drive to take with me. Why would I? All my crap is in the cloud. :D

Google Drive is the only cloud storage service I use. Their interface is pretty simple and easy to navigate. Not only that, they also offer you a system to create various types of documents. If you're running Chrome, you should be able to access these documents even if you don't have internet (I think). n__n

My laptop's battery has grown pretty weak, so unfortunately, it doesn't last as much as it used to. ): Two to three years ago, my laptop was able to stay alive for four straight hours. Nowadays, it runs out of charge within just two and a half hours. I'm planning to replace this battery, but I don't know if I should since I usually don't unplug the charger anymore.
