Set up and fine-tuned complete backup scripts for the week. Updated entering students find a home page. Reviewed messages from our message board—it's out-of-this-world fantastic and better than CATS! About 85 messages in 2 days, and all the students are super excited to start school in the fall. An insane success! Printed supp app Form B for James. Student computing committee work. Lunch: leftover Chinese chicken salad. Dinner at home by myself: biryani, naan, fruit smoothie. The fruit smoothie was banana, apricot, orange juice, milk, and ice. It turned almost exactly the same color as an orange creamsicle, and I realized today how connected that color is with the flavor of orange creamsicle in my brain. The flavor of my fruit smoothie was NOT orange creamsicle, but my brain kept WANTING it to be. The COLOR was orange creamsicle, so why doesn't it TASTE like orange creamsicle? (sip) No, definitely NOT orange creamsicle. (puzzled look) And so on. Contributed content to aldusreunion.com—my 2nd wiki experience! Disorienting—it took me a while to figure out how to do simple things like uploading a file or renaming a page title. Some things I simply couldn't figure out like how to change the caption of an image from "Description" to something else. Did some baking. Dishes. Paid Steve L for the forthcoming rafting trip and camping. Chatted with 2 Tonys and a BK online.
