I blogged earlier about my laser printer and how I had to order a new cartridge over ebay. When the cartridge arrived, it turns out that it didn’t quite fit in the printer. And that’s where the hacksaw comes into the story.
And now it fits fine! I’m going to have to solve more of my problems by cutting off bits until the problem goes away.
My creek aquarium is now fishless. The last surivor, a sunfish who I had thought was my friend, committed suicide by jumping out of the tank. I don’t want to think about his last few moments alive, hopping about the floor, collecting more and more hair to his sticky fish scales.
Rest in peace, nameless fish buddy.
But this tragedy is an opportunity in disguise. I’ve been thinking of doing a revamp of the whole creek project. I plan on making a completely new pump and filtration apparatus from scratch. I’ve even gone so far as make a diagram, instead of just jumping right in and making something.
Now I just have to find some parts that are vaguely like the picture.
