Breakfast: cereal, banana, orange juice. Lunch at Nan King Road Bistro with Joel. He's getting over a cold, went to a lip synch contest with Heather at Sonoma State last weekend, and is going to Anaheim this weekend to watch a cheerleading competition. Ena was missing from work today—she too has been getting over a cold. Tweaked backups. Linkchecking. Small edits to the Transcripts checklist page for James. Helped Joel with a number of small issues: show/hide white space in Microsoft Word (very frustrating to search for on the net or even to figure out where to start to find an answer), long delay while entering form data in Acrobat 6 in certain forms (problem solved in Reader 7.0.7), how to prevent reading layout in MS Word. Researched how to embed Real Player files into a web page, researched MAGpie, researched video accessibility (reread several chapters of Joe Clark's Building Website Accessibility—the book with the world's longest colophon). Began transcription of a video we plan to work with on our site. Home. A couple of days ago Patrick found a Google Earth tour of the Hayward earthquake fault. It's interesting, especially the horror of all the stuff that lies directly on the quake line, such as the Cal Berkeley football stadium, freeway overpasses, residential neighborhoods, business buildings. Put in a favicon for Corinna's website. Signed up with AAA auto club. Dinner at home with Patrick: biscuits, leftover chicken.
