Eva’s Byte #438 – An UH-OH Moment!
Not the first or last UH-OH moment, I’m sure, but one nonetheless.
Most of my UH-OH moments revolve around a lack of mechanical aptitude, magnified by fear of taking on such endeavors. My most recent debacle occurred while replacing my printer’s ink cartridges.
Since my jalopy of a printer still works, and my computer tech told me to stick with it rather than acquire a newer model, I have. As a major office supplies retailer no longer carries this model’s ink cartridges, I’d been advised to purchase remanufactured cartridges.
This time, having a dickens of a time removing the seal tape on the black ink cartridge—wait for it—I inadvertently removed the chip.
Oops!
Fortunately, I reinstalled the old black ink cartridge, did a printout test, and the quality was great. Overcompensation from the new colored ink cartridge, perhaps. Anyway, I ordered a new black ink cartridge, the wiser for my ways the next time around.
In the capacity of a writer, I’ve rallied to the finale of Chapter 40 (970 words) along my Contemporary work in progress. I’m just starting to ink the draft for Chapter 41 (267 words thus far).
*May each of us spring forward from any setbacks encountered along our journey.
My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.

Eva’s Byte #540 – The Printed Word
Alas, my old workhorse of a printer fueled by costly, compatible ink cartridges, was put out to pasture. The old gray mare no longer produced the printed word legibly.
In keeping with my minimalist approach to technology without sacrificing quality, I acquired just what I need: a black-and-white laser printer with promise to go the distance when inking the printed word. Highly recommended by my computer technician who set it up for me, I’m good to go. Until summoned to do my bidding, the printer is in a deep sleep mode.
In the capacity of a writer, I’ve gone the distance drafting chapter 21 (1565 words) of my Contemporary work in progress. Chapter 22 is off to a running start (147 words thus far).
May each of us preserve the printed word with clarity for posterity.
My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
