Usual oatmeal breakfast. Helped faculty member PB with listservs. Helped Carol with info for graduates. Made live a new update from the dean for Susie. Preferred names gathering with Scott and Steaven for Doug C. Chatted with Scott about PharmCAS notices. Asked Susie for approval for the new PowerPoint template I designed for the School. Laptop setup for Joel's preview session. I encountered some problems. We have a MacBook and when starting into Boot Camp with Win XP SP2 we cannot get the external video to display. Fn+F7 does nothing. F7 does nothing. If I start into OS X, the external video works. If I start Parallels, the external video works. So we stuck with Parallels, but then our USB remote presentation pointer was not recognized by Parallels. I also found that I was unable to log in as admin to OS X. I'll have to investigate these later. For now, Joel was fine with using Parallels and the arrow keys instead of the pointer. Reposted P1 and P2 schedules for Lucia. Required software cdrom work. Cleared out calendar for forthcoming vacation. Reminded staff to review intro to Office 2007 I sent out a few weeks ago. Chatted online with Tony Q. Computer maintenance. Dinner at home: korean beef, japanese rice, steamed broccoli.
