I just ****ed my Nikon up!!! (aka: Sensor cleaning mishap)

Image
i think may have messed sensor while cleaning it. "messed up", mean put dozen or fine scratches on filter sits atop actual ccd sensor. reading forum on how people clean sensor, , general consensus don't need liquid unless weird stuck it, , "glass" filter on top quite hard , ultra-fragile , touch sensitive people believe is. people recommended taking soft cloth , wiping , forth on sensor. if can't put finger inside, cover small, hard object cloth, , wipe sensor that. make sure object doesn't have sharp edges. f***ed up. think went bit "medieval" , scratched up. used soft, thin cloth used wipe eyeglasses with. however, chose wrong item me. section of item used wasn't sharp. rounded , quite dull. however, edges sharp. when wiped sensor, think rounded edge pressed against sensor @ slight angle (rather flush/flat sensor), means sensor wiped edge of object. hoping these scratches wouldn't visibl...

just thought i'd share experiences of i'd noticed 02 connection here in uk since big announcement had iphone. here in ipswich browsing web on nokia e65 , first time ever noticed on edge network, pretty news me, 02 known not having great edge coverage looks they've got going in area. also, when connecting net list of access points choose from, used "02 mms", "02 mobile web" , "02 wap gprs" today noticed new 1 - "02 wap gprs streaming". instinct might have youtube streaming in iphone, gprs? surely @ edge speed, think i'm right in thinking edge software upgrade in network of gprs it's possible. anyway, observations, roll on nov 9th!!!   wirelessly posted (blackberry8100/4.2.0 profile/midp-2.0 configuration/cldc-1.1 vendorid/125) that's nothing new added network - must have been there since profiles not downloaded...

OS X-can't get ANY networked printer set up (EEK!)

Image
(i saw "peripheral" forum, seems more networking or general type problem since issue isn't printers). i've got new macbook pro here, , can't print networked printer @ all. -one printer typically print directly ip address. in windows takes 2 seconds set up. on os x, seem able set fast. pick ip printing, punch in ip address, autofills in model, fills in location, lets me see how toner left. when try print it, gives me: "unable printer status (server-error-operation-not-supported)!" (the exclamation point in error message, didn't add it.) -the rest of printers go through server print to. assume windows server (windows prompts me domain credentials when printing them if i'm not logged in domain). i've tried setting printers multiple times, multiple ways. browsing through domain in printer setup utility, trying use direct path resource, etc. regardless of do, error like: "unab...
