  1. Review - Sumatra PDF

    0.9.3 (Oct 9, 2008)

    Very good, light PDF reader. They made it so Sumatra remembers the window position and size. The only thing left to do for me to ditch Foxit Reader is to have Sumatra remember Zoom and View settings, though they are not as important as windows position and size.

  2. Comment - Xerox rolls out pioneering ColorQube printer with crayon-like ink

    0.9.3 (May 7, 2009 - 4:14 PM)

    The Xerox Phaser 8500 series printers at my workplace use these wax blocks for ink and they are a few years old, so this technology is nothing new. One drawback with this technology (at least in the case with the Phaser 8500 series) is that if the printer is allowed to go into low-power mode the wax in the system hardens. Next time the printer is needed a bunch of wax and paper are used to clean the hardened wax. If you do not allow the printer to go into low-power mode, it will constantly use around 80 Watts, with a peak of around 200 Watts every few minutes to heat the wax.
