Liftport week at Bull Dork's place

It's Liftport Week at Bull Dork's blog. I promised the man I'd make it

Bull Dork week on the Liftport blog (or something like that) but some

things have conspired against my doing that.

* An appraiser is due next week to look at the house for a refinance

inspection. All those fiddly chores I've put off for the past year?

It's all come due. I've been up till the wee hours of the morning

moving stuff around, sanding, painting and so on. The good news is

we'll have a set of really nice rooms sans smelly old carpeting and

with newly painted hardwood floors.

* I spent the past few days fighting with Automator and learning it's

a better man than I. Automator really wants you to use mail.app and

not Thunderbird and is very very picky about the whole 'using

OpenOffice to create PDF files thing'. All of this to produce a PDF

with a potential investor's name and to mail it back to them.

You've not seen the last of ME Automator.

* I approached the central committe about the 'make the Liftport blog

into a celebration of Bull Dork's life and times' deal and they looked

at me as if I'd sprouted an extra head. I'm on thin ice after the

Commodore Decker thing.
