In life, including working life “slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.”
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/01/26
I’ve been agile all my (not just programming) life, and only figured out this century that there is a vocabulary for that, containing the words agile, extreme programming, feature-driven and many more.
Now with the passing of the years, I also realise I have been trying to do “slow and smooth” all my life, and that with age (and less adrenaline) this becomes easier and easier.
I think “slow and smooth” goes well with “agile”, specially when you keep the focus on “doing things right” (and trying to do them right the first time, and keeping it right in incremental steps).
It often reminds me of the Dutch phrase “heeft u haast, gaat dan zitten” which often is attributed to be part of the many Chinese proverbs. It roughly translates to “when in a hurry, take a seat”, and suggests to take a step back and think when under pressure. Maybe this English version of a Chinese proverb comes close: “When you are in a hurry, the horse holds back”.
For is it is intriguing that mainly Chinese, but in a broader sense Asian, proverbs play such an important role, whereas Western proverbs get less and less important. Informal knowledge seems to diminish in Western culture, which I think is a pity.
Maybe all these vocabulary things that started to make sense way after my puberty also have to do with being diagnosed autistic at 50. That too started a lot of puzzle-pieces to suddenly make sense.
Below the links that inspired me to make this blog post in the first place:
- [Wayback/Archive.is] Slow is Smooth and Smooth is Fast | by Michael Fisher | Medium
- [Archive.is] 🔎Julia Evans🔍 on Twitter: “i’m slowly working on a zine called “understand your bugs” about slowing down when debugging and understanding what’s going on before jumping to a fix. But I’ve heard from some folks that they feel pressure to fix bugs As Fast As Possible. Do you feel that? How do you handle it?”

Good scientific abstract template

Good Abstracts: A Template
Fabrizio Gilardi*
February 24, 2021
Abstract
Everyone agrees that this issue is really important. But we do not know much about
this specific question, although it matters a great deal, for these reasons. We approach the
problem from this perspective. Our research design focuses on these cases and relies on
these data, which we analyze using this method. Results show what we have learned about
the question. They have these broader implications.

Some notes on OKI memory modules and toner cartridges for MC342 / C332, as toner cartridges physically seem compatible, but are not
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/01/14
I thought the C332 had the same engine as the MC342, as internally the printing part looks identical.
Boy, I was wrong. Toner cartridges, though fitting physically, are not compatible, despite having the same image drum part 44968301.
So the MC342 and C332 have different toners that are physically so similar that they fit, but electronically different.
While searching, I found the C332 by default has 1 gigabyte of memory and no upgrade option, but the MC342 only has 256 megabyte of memory and can be upgraded with one 512 megabyte module to 768 megabyte. This improves printing performance considerably.
The memory module part number is 01182908, which is horrendously expensive despite it being a PC4200 DDR2 SO-DIMM, which means PC5300 and higher should also work.
Historically between EUR 100 and EUR 350 ([Wayback] Oki 01182908 – Prijzen – Tweakers) or GBP 250 ([WayBack] OKI 512MB RAM Memory Upgrade for B721, B731, B840, C321, C330, C530, C531, C610, C612, C711, C712, C822, C823, C831, C833, C841, C843, MC332, MC342, MC351, MC352, MC361, MC362, MC561, MC562 printers)

MC342 toner in C332 printer
As soon as you put a black MC342 toner in a C332 toner, you will get this error in the display: SERVICE CALL 231:ERROR 08 (see picture and [Wayback/Archive.is] oki service call 231 error 08 – Google Search)
This error only goes away when:
- you re-insert the original toner cartridge
- then power-down and power-up the printer
I could not find C332 specific information for this error, but similar models do have it (partially) listed (note the 08 error for the C332 means the black toner cartridge, not the cyan one):

If the error persists after rebooting, contact your dealer and tell them the number in the error message and how the machine works.
