Morning run: 10 minutes. Usual oatmeal breakfast. More helping new students with preferred e-mail address change requests, computer setup, duplicate name problems, etc. Minor update to the transcripts page for James. Sent a followup message to Ricki, Jayson, and Renaud. Asked to be unsubscribed from the ImageBuilder mailing list. Updated the jobs listserv for Joel. Coded and made live a new news story for Susie. Set up the laptop for James's admissions workshop. Met with student AF, helped configure e-mail and other things. Answered questions about downloading e-mail to the computer and got the personal calendar migrated to the UCSF calendar. Tried unsuccessfully to resolve the problem of Outlook 2003 always asking for the password even though we select "Remember my password." Stupid Outlook! I had intended to go to the student picnic in the gym today, but ended up having a 15-minute cafeteria lunch (cow stroganoff with noodles, steamed broccoli, orange juice, dinner roll with promise spread) followed by helping Kirk in the library help some students with wireless—couldn't get it working right no matter what we tried. Also gave Kirk a couple of copies of our computer services handout. Stopped by the Technology Store and chatted with Garrett about ordering a new laptop to replace our shared office laptop which people take to outreach and other events. Gave him a bunch of extra CD-ROMs of our required software. More work on the subsite redesign. After work I stopped by BriKel's but they weren't home. Continued on to Mom Ryan's where I met her and Patrick. Mom Ryan cooked us dinner! Chicken stew, rice, corn off the cob, and foccacia bread with Land O Lakes light butter spread. A very delicious meal. Home, very sleepy and went right to bed.
