Very little worth mention happened today. I'd suppose the most interesting thing was getting my mom's old UMAX Astra scanner to work. I had been trying to scan the sketches in my sketchbooks for ages and I finally set out to find a way to scan them. I hooked the scanner up to my mom's new computer and downloaded the drivers while Comcast was being slow an annoying. After I had them installed, I restarted and checked all the connections while I waited for Windows to reload. When I ran the test program, it said there was an error in data transmission. I wnet up to the actual UMAX webiste only to find that the driver doesn't support Windows XP.

I was very thankful to have my crappy little Pentium two 450 just then, since I have Windows 98 on it. I ran upstairs with the scanner and hooked it up then burnt a CD with the drivers and a few other things (a RW, mind you) and took it up to my computer. After I had everything installed and I had restarted, I ran the test and it worked flawlessly. I then proceeded to open the copier program, thinking it was the scanning one and I got a little annoyed when I realized my mistake. I realized I needed a program to manage the scanned content, so I tried IS Scan, the scanning manager that I use for my little Canon BJC-2000 printer/scanner, and it didn't work. I ran downstairs and tried to find the setup disk for the scanner, which I had long since given up for lost and found it in a small CD case from Radioshack. Ironically, before I moved the scanner, the box was sitting on top of it.

So, yeah. I got it to work and scanned a few of my sketches. It took about three hours to scan and edit nine pages of stuff, but I'm pleased I did it. You can check the new stuff (and the old stuff) out at my website if you'd like. And if you do drop by, please comment and criticize - tell me how I can improve.

For all of the people I didn't scare away with two long, in-depth paragraphs about a scanner, good job. Maybe I'll draw a picture for you if you ask nicely.

Later, DS
