Resolved PharmAdMIT 2008 update problem for Joel. Resolved PharmAdMIT 2008 crash for Scott. Double-checked permissions to PharmAdMIT program folders. Gathered CPR data for Alyssa (a painful process). New computer upgrade for Cindy. Lunch: beef stroganoff, grilled vegetable medley, brown rice, dinner roll from the cafeteria. More CPR data gathering and class list updating. Yesterday I uninstalled Miro on the Mac Mini because it crashed just while opening and restarting it caused the same crash, and I did not care enough about what Miro did to troubleshoot the problem. I was not terribly impressed when I had first installed Democracy, so this new experience with Miro did not surprise me. Helped Joel and Scott set up the laptop for the application workshop. Met with Eric. New hire workspace setup followup. Dinner at home with Patrick: roast pork loin, peas, steamed rice. Several months ago I realized that I had gathered so many RSS feeds that it was sucking too much time away from my life. So to restructure my RSS reading, I now keep a short list of RSS feeds I read daily and check my entire list at the end of the week, say Friday night or Saturday. The whole list is exactly 99 feeds, not including work-related ones about UCSF. I'm also much less focused than before, skimming more than reading. The change has helped, I think. I am still using Sage with Firefox to read RSS. I've been sneezing more than normal lately, so I started on Flonase after a long time of not using it. Watched video files left over from Miro.
