Breakfast: english muffin, a nectarine. Post-breakfast: a banana. More or less finished rebuilding Chris's laptop today. Also did some minor maintenance (defrag, updates) on some other workstations. Patrick asked me recently what I was reading now and I told him I was reading the installation guide for the enterprise version of Google Desktop Search—no joke. Today I was all ready to set it up and install it when I discovered I don't have rights to create group policy objects in our domain, so I submitted a ticket to request the permission. Today we received word from the Exchange admin that there indeed is no way for one to designate an appointment as private in Outlook Web Access. This seems to me a major oversight, particularly since one of the primary benefits of the Exchange server is shared calendaring. Lunch: turkey and swiss sandwich from home. Set up a dean's office listserv for Heather and Sarah. Snack: a banana, lowfat cheesy puffs. Dinner at home with Patrick: pan-fried London broil, mashed potatoes. Worked on Corinna's fax template. Napped. Showered. Went to Club Dragon. We saw and/or met Tony Q, Frankie, Ted, Emery, Greg, Antonio, Mike, Robert, Collin, and Erick. Afterwards, Patrick and I got a meal at Baghdad Cafe.
