Breakfast: oatmeal, yogurt. Joel brought in a beautiful red velvet cake with snow white buttercream frosting—yum! More ImageBuilder and CD-ROM prep work. I ate lunch today in 10 minutes: orange juice, salisbury steak with roasted vegetables and brown rice and a dinner roll with butter. Caught the shuttle to Mission Center Building. Sat in a conference room for 10 minutes before realizing that the meeting must have been canceled. Took the shuttle back to the office. Found out that the meeting was cancelled 50 minutes before the meeting started. Oh, well. Met with a student about computer problems, did some troubleshooting. Medicare Part D QuickTime work. Got the QuickTime page working and made it live. Still had trouble with the SMIL file for QuickTime. All the tutorials on the web I could find are incomplete in that they show you one file but not another or they don't account for various possibilities. For example, they might show you the object/embed code but then not show you the contents of the SMIL file that that code points to. And it's not easy to open a SMIL file to see what's in it because by default those filetypes will open in Real Player or QuickTime. Weight training. Dinner at home with Patrick: teriyaki boneless pork ribs, bamboo rice, Mediterranean bread with butter. Watched about the first 90 minutes of King Kong on DVD with Patrick.
