No 8:30 am bus! Grr! No 8:50 am bus! Grrr Grrr! Took me 90 minutes to get to work. Cleaned up changes to the student directory for Chris: use special characters in names by adding htmlentities functions. Link checking. Lunch in the workroom with Melissa: I had leftovers, Melissa had turkey sausage and a salad. Tried resolving printer driver problems for Melissa but wasn't sure if I was successful. Her printer is an HP LaserJet 4000N. When printing PDF files to the PCL driver, sometimes she gets not-bullets instead of bullets. Printing in Postscript resolves the problem but she gets an additional page: Error: undefined, Offending command: width, Stack: /TextInit -mark-. HP no longer has a recommended Postscript driver for that printer on their site. Will continue troubleshooting later. Reinstalled Sophos on Kristina's computer—somehow it went missing over the past few days. Set up Mary Anne with an account to access the student directory on the Web. Asked Susie some questions about proposed changes on the faculty page. Converted draft schedules for P1 and P2 students to PDF and uploaded them and sent out an announcement. Updated current students news. Updated the student directory with more changes from Chris (long program students). Patrick and Erick saw A Doll's House at ACT. Dinner at home by myself: cellophane noodles, mushrooms, bean sprouts, fish cake, in organic chicken broth. Installed new case fans in the computer.
