No 8:30 AM bus this morning. Got to the bus stop at 8:25 AM. Got to work at 9:15 AM. Yesterday the bus didn't show up either. And it's been late in the evening. Today when the bus left 30th and Vicente, we got 1 and a half blocks before passing another 66 bus headed to where we just were. Halfway through the route, we passed *another* 66 bus—something was messed up. Meeting with Rob, Valerie, Kraig, Bruce, and Julie about using the pharmacy.ucsf.edu domain for mail. Chatted with Julie and Martha afterward. Cindy brought her computer in from home—everything is very slow. Found and removed a bunch of computer worms and virii: W32/Nachi-A, W32/Rox-A, W32/Blaster-A. It took a very long time because Rox seemed to be attached to every possible executable on the machine. Mike Lemont called from home: Error 50 when attempting to connect to his dial-up provider SBC. Too hard to troubleshoot over the phone, so I asked him to bring the computer back tomorrow morning. Lunch at desk: leftover couscous and mac and cheese. Chatted with Teresa Regalia and Ellen Amsel about site certs and anti-virus software and firewalls. Coded the Application Workshop page and sent it to James for review. Dinner at home with Patrick: a very delicious helping of shrimp chow mein. Helped Chris De Lay with how to connect to my server using SSH and installed his public key. Installed Windows and Office Updates. Installed K9 and Pop-Up Stopper. Got rid of the Microsoft Outlook icon on the desktop, prevented MSN Messenger from starting at startup. Defragged. Early to bed tonight (10ish).
