Anyone know how I can get in contact with the SAU Secretary? Need to get a confirmation of my membership for a track day tomorrow but it's hard getting an e-mail replied to...

so i buy one of these USB to DB25 parallel cables: https://www.jaycar.com.au/usb-to-parallel-bi-directional-cable/p/XC4847

plug it in, under Device Manager its listed in USB controllers: USB Printer Support. The software I'm using needs it to be a LPT port.

The internet has some solutions for people using old software with new printers, so ive followed them:

Create new printer. Assign it to USB Printer Support. Right click on it and go to Printer Properties. Select LPT1 port. I try to send file with software, software says did not send.

I tried enabling Print Pooling and selecting both LPT1 and the USB Printer Support port. Still does not send.

Then tried creating another printer and assigning it to Virtual USB port001, in printer properties, select LPT1 port. Files does not send.

Any IT folk have any suggestions? the software just sends a basic text file, its not going to a printer.

Oh chatted to a EPA guy on the weekend.

asked about the car testing currently.

 

Didn't answer the question, but did say he uses the building where they test as his car park everyday.....

Why the secrecy does he believe he is in a role that is top secret like Area 51?

 

Is he implying that the testing is active hence there everyday? Or that his team has taken over the area and they no longer test?

If he was implying it was business as usual then there wouldn't need to be so coy... sounds like the intake of cars is slowing down?

Someone drive past the moorabbin workshop & have a look at the number of cars outside?

[emts]

implying the place is only used for car parking.

 

never going to openly admit that they are not testing cars.

[Leroy Peterson]

What really? You get paid out or something?
Company downsizing?

[emts]

Ouch

you were only there a year or 2 weren't you?

 

strange, we were sitting there today with the redundancy calculator working out our pay outs..

 

 

[UNR33L]

Yeah really small (3 of us total) and basically lost a couple of big ish customers over Christmas / New Year due to them down sizing or cutting cost, selling business etc. 

So back on the job hunt, got a few good leads already which is awesome.

Paid out but not much (only here for about a year)
