Usual oatmeal breakfast. Meeting with Susie and Cindy: blogging, faculty database, new person. Followup with student DS about internet service problems and VPN. Helped student CC by e-mail with setting up POP3. Met with student AC about how to build a website. AC gave me a five-dollar gift card to Starbucks—so sweet! Announced website downtime and resolution to all. Updated preview sessions for Joel (reopened March). Reviewed new clin pharm intranet site. Lunch: taco and enchiladas from Carmelina's. Listserv update for student AF. Installed updates for the MacBook. Reported a Boot Camp 1.1.2 problem to Apple: the trackpad fails to move the cursor after successfully restoring from hibernation, restarting the computer works around the problem. Helped student MK set up wireless for a Palm TX—the mac address is printed on the back. Also helped MK find Yahoo Messenger for Palm. Helped Carol with computer problems probably related to not enough available RAM. HTML e-mail edits for Cindy. Finally got a finished version working and tested perfectly in Outlook2003/WinXPSP2, OWA/WinXPSP2/Fx, OWA/WinXPSP2/IE6, Yahoo!Mail/WinXPSP2/Fx, Gmail/WinXPSP2/Fx2001, OWA/OS1048/Fx2001, OWA/OS1048/Safari204, Yahoo!Mail/OS1048/IE52. PageMaker registry problem resolution for Joel. Dinner at home with Mom Ryan, Patrick, Phil, Danny, and Drew: foccacia, salad with pancetta-and-mozzarella-stuffed pepperoncini, lasagne with shrimp and scallop, wine, fruit juice.
