Usual oatmeal breakfast. LGBT viz followup. Helped student QT with a computer problem. E-mail migration followup for student ST. Ordered Visibone stuff for Eric. PharmAdMIT 2006 troubleshooting with Scott and Scott. LGBT viz followup. E-mail migration followup for student ST. E-mail migration followup for student ST. Tried to register for my free Macworld exhibit hall pass, but the server was so slow I abandoned my 6-step (!) registration form. Notified sysadmins of account closures and extensions. Helped student EG. E-mail account mixup followup for student CN. Account extension followup. Discussed e-mail preferred name change issues with Doug C. Sent John K suggestions on a wiki implementation he's working on. Dinner at Cybelle's: turkey salad which turned out to be spicy even though the menu didn't say anything about it being spicy so I sent it back. They resolved the problem, but could have been smoother with the initial handling of it. Home. Ordered my Macworld free exhibit hall pass. Let me know if you want to go, and I'll send you the offer. Reconnected with Eric S after a long while. He and Maia have Griffin Jack and Violet Jade (cool names!), now live in Lake Forest Park on a half-acre, and he recently passed his 10-year anniversary at Adobe. Tonight I learned via experimentation how to right-click Windows system tray icons using only the keyboard. Well, that as well as everything else in the Windows toolbar. My solution is only 3 keystrokes or keystroke combinations. There's a longer solution but it requires you to press Tab a variable number of times. MozyHome quit unexpectedly today with an unhandled exception most likely because my C: drive ran out of disk space. I found a Chronicles of Riddick trailer that we taped from TV and moved it to another computer and then all was well.
