Breakfast: spinach omelet with garlic and grated cheddar and green onions on top, two links of sausage, an English muffin with butter. Kristina called because I forgot to log out of her computer as admin yesterday when I repaired her connection to Retrospect. D'oh! E-mail and websites seem to be fixed now from last night. Linkchecking: Anat115 and dillgroup and digitalinsurance are newly down. The PharmD/PhD page is still down on the BPS site—16 days now. Modified linkchecking because Pharm Chem changed their domain from www.pharmchem.ucsf.edu to pcweb.ucsf.edu. Helped student Mark P with problems with the itsa mail server erroneously sending him over 7000 duplicate messages. Spoke with ITS, got a new ticket number. Music for today: John Williams soundtracks. Went to my Web host's Web site and found a service announcement for last night's downtime, so it wasn't unplanned. Started on the Easter candy bag that Joel gave me: a cellophane bag with purple and pink jelly beans tied with a foil blue twist tie with cardboard eggs on the ends—one blue with yellow flowers and pink centers, another with pink, yellow, and blue stripes. Inside was a green plastic egg painted with pink and yellow swirls; a small package of plain M and Ms; Kit Kat; SweetTarts; Reese's peanut butter cups wrapped in foil colored pink, gold, light blue, and light green; Keebler fudge stripes cookies; yellow and orange Starburst fruit chews; a cream soda Dum Dums lollipop; a plastic bag shaped and colored like a carrot with Starburst jelly beans inside; and pink easter basket grass. Inside the plastic egg was peanut M and Ms colored in orange, lime green, blue, yellow, and red. Whew! Late lunch at home by myself: an orange, a can of beef stew, french fries. Coded computer requirements for fall students. It's quite a lot of work because I now decided I want to archive each year as it passes, so it involves some restructuring of that branch. Did 2 loads of laundry today. Reorganized our mule chest drawers. Changed passwords for both computers. Dinner at home by myself: steamed dumplings with soy, vinegar, and sesame oil dipping sauce.
