I would just buy ink and be done with it.

I refilled once on my old printer, not sure which one was, and all I'll say is it worked fine for the first time, after that the cartridge completely dried and didn't work anymore so in the end I had to buy new cartridge. Never bought refill kit again, waste of money, rather spend 20€ for a new cartridge!

Yes but why did it dried up? You didn't use it or it just happend?

Isn't isopropyl alcohol good for unclogging printers?

After first refill, printed for a while, and then when it started to show that ink is low I refilled again, but even after that it wouldn't print and then I noticed that it's dried.

I'm no expert here but I'm pretty sure you have to clean the cartridge before you fill it. You see, cartridges have those tiny sponges that absorbs some ink but does not let it pass through.
So, my guess is that you inserted the new ink over the already dried-up one.

Of course it's just my guess. I could be wrong but it is plausible.

It's not the ink but the procedure itself.

Just got an e-mail - I qualified. Second interview is on Friday around midday. Really excited about this.

Thank you, will do. Going to brush up on my networking knowledge in the meantime.

**anon** · 05.04.13, 17:21

So, I'm back from the interview. The questions where as follows:

1. What's your networking experience?
2. What's the difference between a router and a switch?

Upon answering all of them, I was told I'm perfectly fit for the job and will be contacted with the location and schedule soon.

**BrianBosworth** · 05.04.13, 22:38

Congratulations! Without a doubt were the most qualified for the job.

Any advantage in using speedof.me over speedtest.net ?
I like the idea of a speed test without needing any external plugin on the end user's part. What do you think?

What's wrong with plugins that are also useful on many other sites?
Also, Flash is integrated into Chrome, for one. Most of the people are using Chrome. So logic dictates that most people have Flash. Not sure about others.

Chrome is my favourite browser now

Had a small lecture on how to use the Intel theft deterrent server today. The guy in charge told us that if we ~~tell some bullshit story about not owning a computer~~ approach the principal of the school we'll work on correctly, we may score a free netbook. The current models are sleeker and have a digital TV tuner.
