Attended a web seminar for Google Apps for Education, took a lot of notes. I think we'll be watching their rollout but we've only just migrated to Exchange a few years ago and I think it will be hard to migrate away from it. As Google improves their offerings, though, it will become more attractive. The office threw a huge potluck to celebrate (late) my birthday. It's our most concerted potluck in recent memory. Met with student HO to discuss laptop problems—her computer needs a new hard drive because it was making noises and Office would hang when she tried to start it. Figured out how to remove accidental line forwarding from our fax machine phone line. If someone happens to send a fax using a number beginning with [5] [1] it will accidentally forward faxes to some other number because [5] [1] is a special code which tells the phone system to forward a number. To remove forwarding, you must send a fax to [5] [2]. Interviewed a candidate to replace Ena/Steaven. More laptop setup for Scott. Had a great, long chat with Rosemary on transit. She says Rob is returning in 2 weeks. Hooray! Dinner at PDD's with Phil, Drew, Danny, Patrick, and Julian, who Patrick and I met for the first time. They talked about nails, mostly, and how to run a nail salon, Thanksgiving plans, pralines.
