Usual oatmeal breakfast. Showed Lucia how to scan documents across the network with the Brother MFC-5440cn. Staff meeting: Cindy brought scones and muffins which were definitely not to celebrate anyone's birthday. Demoed the new laptop. Spent most of the day setting up our new office Apple MacBook. Successfully used iChat AV to chat with Patrick via AIM (him using Trillian), but he could not see or hear me in video, and I don't know why not. Successfully bound the laptop to Active Directory. Helped student LL with laptop problems. Placed an order for a mini-DVI-to-VGA adapter. Picked up my copy of Parallels which had been on order. Uploaded photos. Backups work. Assisted student CH with using the UCSF logo. Dinner at home with Patrick: pig chops, chive and something mashed new red potatoes, salad with sliced bartlett pear, chamomile-cherry-something iced tea. Dessert: fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies and nonfat milk. Just before I went to bed I heard a noise in the kitchen. It turned out to be a small brown mouse. It was in the garbage can trying to hop out and making lots of noise with all its hopping in the plastic trash bag. I tried to grab the trash bag quickly to catch it, but it got away.
