Printhead for the A0 Plotter

by Q Misell

As you have probably noticed we have an A0 plotter in the hackerspace. Unfortunately, is it currently inoperable due to a faulty printhead, a Canon PF-04. How would people feel about the hackerspace using its funds to purchase a new printhead to get this plotter working? Cheers, Q

Ordering of components and such

by Iain R. Learmonth

Hi All, We used to have group orders with RS for things that didn't meet the threshold for free delivery. I am going to be making an RS order soon and if anyone would like to add anything to that order, please let me know and I will make the order arrive at space. Keep in mind that it might not arrive in time for this Tuesday, but perhaps the following Tuesday. You can pay for the order with cash or BACS. I am also still overrun with coffee beans and if anyone would like some coffee beans these are £6/bag (250g) with possible discounts for 3 or more bags. Thanks, Iain.

iLamp

by Tony Travis

Hi, After trying every conceivable way to get a viable 32-bit PPC Linux with a web browser that can read https:// websites on my iLamp (15" G4 iMac), I gave up and installed Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11 only to discover that PPC Safari has exactly the same problem that I had with Firefox on YDL 6.2! To cut a long story short, I've now installed the InterWebPPC port of Firefox under OS X 10.4.11 and this seems to work with most, but not all, secure https:// web sites. Then, I crashed and burned trying to listen to BBC Sounds, because there are no suitable codecs available. I retrieved my iLamp from the HackSpace because I didn't like it just sitting on the shelf gathering dust and being robbed of its keyboard. I've now bought two faulty keyboards off eBay, to be returned: The Apple A1048 is a membrane keyboard and not all of the keys were working on the two that I've bought. It's a fiddly job to repair the membrane tracks using a conductive pen and that would cost about the same as a second-hand keyboard, so I've risked it bought a third one - Fingers crossed that all they keys on this one will actually work! If anyone is interested in playing around with Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger on my G4 PPC iLamp then I'll bring it back into the HackSpace. Otherwise, it's going on eBay soon unless someone at the HackSpace wants it FOC?
