Spent most of the day making lots of changes to the Web site and almost finishing the Request a Speaker form. It seems to be trouble free except that in IE4.x/MAC the submit button doesn't appear for some strange reason. I decide to make this page live anyway since a lot of other updates are waiting, and I'll tend to this issue on Tuesday. Met with cindy, Joel, and James about notifications to entering students. Later I also met with Mike Strizich, Mike Webb, and Alex Lange to discuss data sharing issues between our departments. They handle data with the Registrar's office, and our office relys on information from them for transcripts, contact information, and so on. We are seeking to pull data from them so that it's easier for us to manage than their current processes. Both meetings went quickly and were productive for all. Leftovers at home for dinner. I take a disco nap, but wake at 11:30 pm, about 30 minutes after Patrick has gone to bed. I stay up taking care of financial paperwork, catching up on e-mail, and reading Chapter 16 of Second Island, which Patrick has just finished writing.
