Hmm... Actually so far I've only gotten as far as interviewing one
candidate, and my basic conclusion is that this venue doesn't even come
close to reaching them. Time to struggle with the very faddish Japanese of
that Two Channel thingee?

And actually the local granny approach was already suggested to me when I
posted an earlier question about the Duskin approach. However, in this area
the cleaning grannies are in short supply, though there are lots of
baby-sitting grannies available. The bigger problem is that they only do
maintenance cleaning starting from a much better state than my place is in
now... Or rather the biggest problem is just that I've gotten too used to it
and don't much care one way or the other.
