  • I don’t know what CUPS is, but I had 3 major reservations about switching my barely functional computer to Linux:

    1. Ive never worked in Linux before
    2. My dive computer only uploads to proprietary software using a proprietary cable.
    3. My Brother laser printer was working SO well wirelessly. It’s the first time I’ve ever not hated my printer

    Turns out some amazing people made open source dive logging software so I can still download my dives.

    And for printing, I meant to get around to setting it up, then one day I forgot and accidentally printed something and it just worked. I was so shocked that for a bit I assumed that reformatting the hard drive and changing operating systems must’ve somehow preserved my printer settings.





  • At work, I have a reputation for being the guy who never shuts up about trying to get new people into scuba diving. If there are 2 or more divers at the lunch table I honestly feel a little bad for everybody else. The cost of getting trained and renting or buying all your gear can scare people away, but I would at least strongly recommend that anybody on an island vacation or cruise at least try a “discover Scuba” class. You’ll learn everything you need to know to not die by watching a quick video, and working in a pool, then you get to go have an amazing dive in the ocean with an instructor.
