How to recalibrate touch screen on Toshiba e-Studio 202 copier/printer
Sometimes settings get messed up for no apparent reason and it can be very frustrating. I had problems with the touch screen on a floor standing copier where you had to touch the top left of the images of buttons for the machine to recognise the button you wanted. The touch screen calibration has gone off and needs to be recalibrated. It is a Toshiba e-studio 202. The process to fix it is as follows:
Press the energy saver button
Select 'Shutdown' and wait for the machine to turn off.
Press and hold the '0' and '8' digit buttons together then with the digits still pressed, switch the power button to ON.
After a few seconds you will hear a beep and then see a blank screen with 'Test Mode' on the top.
On the number pad enter '692' and press the 'Start' button.
You will see two cross-hairs with a pointer next to #1. Press the center of cross-hair #1 and then the center of cross-hair #2.
Note: you can use the top of a pen to accurately touch the screen and you may have to touch slightly off the center to get it registered.
After you press the center of #2 you will go back to the blank screen.
Turn off the machine with the power button.
Turn on the machine with the power button and try out the touch screen.
Note: You may have to repeat the process to get the calibration right. What worked for me is touching the top right of #1 and the center of #2 for the copier to be usable again.
This same process should work for other Toshiba e-Studio floor standing copiers/scanners.

Wicked surround sound demo
This is a very cool demo on how surround sound should work. You hear things not just front back and sides but below and above you too... yea with stereo headphones. Don't believe me?

Flow IP
I was on the same flow IP for at least the last 11 months at home even though I do not pay for a static IP. I cannot remember before that but today I noticed it has changed. Is there a one year expiry on it?

Blackberry data roaming outside Trinidad
According to Digicel, when you carry your blackberry anywhere outside Trinidad and Tobago, you will be charged the regular data rates for roamers as listed by the network you connect to in that country. Digicel Trinidad does not charge you for roaming.

What a week
So the last 7 days have been something else, very eventful. It started off with me thinking about my personal problems and now I am wondering about my higher purpose. I have gone on many ups and downs and hopefully that will end soon.
Last week I had to work on a couple projects that were stressfull.
On Friday I went with friends to NAPA for a classical indian music show that was excellent. NAPA itself is much better than Queen's Hall, my knees do not even touch the next row in NAPA but I cannot close my legs in Queen's Hall. The taps in the gents FAIL but there is tons of headroom by the urinals, unlike Queen's Hall.
On Saturday I went looking for a new window regulator and springs and shocks but I did not find the regulator. The window is working for now though... mayb those few accidents I made with the hammer on it helped. Also there was a failed DJ show in Space La Nouba. You definitely had to be drunk to enjoy that. The show in Zen was 50 times better, no drinking required.
Sunday I went to a meeting for a group that is trying to help themselves by helping the country. One day I think they will succeed.
On Monday I got a heap of responsibility I hope I can handle.
On Tuesday I got more details of my new role that I got on monday and I got called for an interview I was nervous for.
Today I went on the Interview and was told I was over qualified for the vacancy, which I agree with but why was I called for an interview if they already saw my resume? Anyway, I did offer to set up their website because they need one, then they offered me a spot on their managerial board ... interesting eh. I will see how that goes.
Wow it's been a ride.
