Helped Thao by e-mail with wireless configuration problems. Chatted with John Mugge, a Web developer for the cancer center, and set up a meeting with him to explain how things with our Web site work. Helped Jeff Beck troubleshoot Dreamweaver configuration. Made changes to Robert Weinbert's bio page for Jeff Beck. Helped Amy Yim set up a mailing list for the campus Women's Health Organization. I realized lately there have been few problems with bus 66. Yesterday was the most excitement in a few days: the driver forgot to let people get off. Two different times he started taking off at a stop sign and people who had rung the bell to get off had to shout out, "Back door!" or "Hey!" to be let out. He didn't actually miss stops—people got out after they asked him to stop—but it was annoying since he wasn't paying as much attention as he should have. Computer support coordinator meeting. Student database project. Listened to a bunch of streams linked to from earplug.cc—a new newsletter by the people at flavorpill. Dinner at Palio with Patrick and Joel: Patrick had a full-sized sandwich and a side salad, I had a half-sandwich and a bowl of soup. One Aranciata for Patrick, one Nantucket Nectars Half and Half for me. About $17. Palio has been testing out dinner hours and running ads for meals for 5 to 7 dollars and this was the first time we tried it. The food was good—for deli service—but overall I feel it wasn't worth it. For only $2 or $3 more we could have had a table service meal at a number of our favorite restaurants. (See September 21 last month: Eric's Restaurant.) James gave us a ride home on route 66. Installed Trillian 0.74 Patch F for all of our computers. Added ads.nandomedia.com to my hosts file. Tried to catch up on e-mail but failed.
