Yowsers:
The big items of getting the taxes out and getting a pile of documents out for the refinance to the lender is over with; I don’t, at present, have a scanner that can handle legal-sized paper, and I killed a lot of time trying to figure a clever way around that. My clever ways all sucked, and Susan ended up taking it over to Office Depot for scanning this afternoon- and returning a 35 Megabyte file that I then had to chop in Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres three pieces to get through the mail system and off to the lenders.
One of the hot items on my buy-this pile is the Fujitsu ScanSnap S300, which I will probably buy in the very near future; pretty portable, pretty bulletproof, and good for document scanning. I’ll still keep my Canon LIDE 30, the flatbed, but I do a ton of document scanning, and this will handle all sorts of document scanning very well. The Canon also doesn’t take up much space, and works very well in general.
BTW, I have two pieces of software I really couldn’t function without - the Adobe CS3 Web suite (I haven’t upgraded to CS4 because I honestly don’t see what the improvement is) and most especially Dreamweaver, Acrobat and Photoshop. Love ‘em to death.
Meredith is busy this weekend; roller-skating practice tomorrow, a roller-skating event in Racine on Sunday, and a Salvation Army fashion show she attends every year (Susan’s aunt Marlyce and her pal Carol met in the SA and still connected) with Susan and Connie and Marlyce. I will be at home on all of this, catching up on the piles of Stuff to Do. But I feel good about making headway on the above big items, and want to bat more out of here ASAP.
