Usual oatmeal breakfast at home. Took the car in to the garage. The engine light had been on for days and then recently it no longer stayed lit after the car was started. Estimate to run full computer diagnostics: $50. Student computing committee meeting, Mark B guest stars, I chatted with Kirk afterwards. Reposted a schedule for Lucia. Checked in with our friends Alison and Lynn at UCTV about another program starring one of our faculty. Updated the file transfer options web page. Redirected a request from one of our faculty to the right person. Checked in with Rick about getting Sean to do a demo of clientless VPN for the committee. Followed up with our Apple contact regarding licensing for QuickTime only (not iTunes—no faculty are requiring it yet). Updated web pages regarding ExactChoice. Worked out a way for Jason to deliver GALEN toolbar installers to me. Telephone meeting with Tiki: security awareness topics. Started coding new pages for a new continuing education event coming in September. Met with Rodney and Chris to discuss software needs in the IRC. On the way to the garage, I chatted with Garrett S, manager of the UCSF Technology Store, and we talked about how he might be able to help us meet the needs of our students better. He was hired about a year ago, and since then the store has seen many changes for the better. It feels more efficient, more actively participating in the UCSF community. Picked up the car from the garage. Turns out the gas cap somehow was loose. $45. Weight training: front raise, plank, push-ups. Lunch: fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, mixed vegetables, dinner roll. Dinner at home with Patrick: lemon-garlic roast chicken, steamed broccoli, bread and butter. Mike of Mike's Adblocking Hosts file updated his hosts file today—he's a super guy.
