Breakfast: a banana. Made backup copies of Office 2004 for Mac CD-ROM and Xubuntu 6.06 Desktop CD-ROM. Linkchecking. Scanned, straightened, and converted to JPEG 17 pages of paper document for James. This took a little over an hour. My scanner, an old HP ScanJet 4470c, is not working properly, so I'll need to order a new one. Contractor Ken came to work in the space above my office. While he did the work, I ate leftovers for lunch and took a few photos around campus with the new digicam. Made live new VPN page describing SSL VPN and announced. Updated current students news. Met with Polly and Cindy about new web pages for the pharm sci pathway. Chatted with Susie. Inserted curricular outcomes text for Barbara S on our curriculum page, sent it to Susie and Cindy for review. Attempted to copy a DVD from UCTV so that we could send it to our captioner, but the copy failed. It appears I have a DVD+RW disc, but the copy requires a DVD-R or DVD-RW disc. Who knew? Counted our CD-ROMs from DMM and found that we ordered 150 but only received 129. Sent out a message asking everyone to count their CD-ROMs. Christina had 54 more than she should have, so I'll pick them up from her tomorrow. Flickr broke their RSS feeds a few days ago, which is very annoying for people like me who have set up dozens of feeds for groups I admin or read. Grr! Dinner at home with Patrick: chicken with tarragon and sherry vinegar, a delicious recipe from Patricia Wells at Home in Provence. House chores. Absentee voter paperwork. Discovered cin-o-matic.com while visiting dack.com. It looks interesting, so I added it to my bookmarks page. It's super fast and doesn't have all the ads and smiling white-people movie stars chrome at imdb.com. Best of all, it has keyboard shortcuts via accesskey attributes in the XHTML code.
