Here be dragons

daIs it sad that the thing I most want to remember about this weekend was the rather dramatic dream I had last night, in which I slew a scary dragon with a large spoon? (Thrown like a boomerang).
Hm. And I mostly forgot the dream until mid-afternoon, when I was walking on campus and a squirrel tried to hold its ground when I walked toward it on the path, and I thought to it, "You better watch out, I might have a spoon. Wait, what?..."
I sorted all of the electronics in the other closet in my study. I haven't decided whether I'm actually going to try and sell the small pile of sellables, or donate them to MCC Generations thrift store (dan suggests I could possibly get a hefty tax receipt for them). Selling stuff takes time. I remember when I was all gung-ho about ebay. Now I have a full-time job. And too little energy to work on too many things. Hm.

jeanne_d_arc, I hope to have something for you by the weekend; and I have to find a means to turn your Microsoft Publisher into a .pdf, since I'm not working on a Windows machine any more. Maybe I can find one at work...)
Hey, failing that: does anybody have easy access to Publisher and wouldn't mind turning around one or a few edits of a 20mb or so newsletter document some time in the next few weeks?...

Date: Monday, 10 November 2008 06:39 pm (UTC)I'd thought that the person responsible for writing the newsletter had gotten Acrobat in the last six months, but... no such luck. (Yar! So much for assuming it was a solved problem...)
If it's not a problem for you to do, I've got it stashed here: http://www.coder.com/daniel/11.10.08-FLGBTQC-autumn.pub (it's a 7mb file- I'm guessing there are many photos which are insufficiently-compressed...)
And again, no worries if it's not a good time for you. I expect I can scarce up another friend who uses MS Publisher somewhere!
