Computer works fine this morning, so it's either a fan (heat) or power supply problem. Oatmeal for breakfast again. Tried fixing a sound problem for James but when I tried to duplicate the problem this morning everything worked fine. Went to the old student lounge and started disconnecting the computers. They're 4 years old, so we're gonna recycle or scrap 'em. Missed a meeting with Susie. Put together a PDF for Ken Lem—a reg form for a conference coming up—using pieces he sent me (a PDF file and a large JPEG file). It's not an ideal PDF—over 1 MB big and uses text as graphics everywhere—but we don't have the resources to make it ideal. Mocked up pages for it. Link checking. Got keys to unlock the computers in the old student lounge. Met with Cindy to give her a general update on things. Afterwards we checked on the cabinetry setup in the student lounge and in our workroom. Together we set up the refrigerator. I imported the kitchen utensils, plastic spoons and forks, napkins, coffee stirrers, potholders, paper towels, styro plates and bowls, and sugar packets from their temporary home in a filing cabinet to the new cabinetry's drawer. Returned to the student lounge, finished preparing the 3 computers there for surplus, picked up the fax machine and brought it to the new student lounge and hooked it up—there's no dial tone on the line. Helped Melissa with mail merge. Chatted with Chris about wireless and other issues.
