Brochure work for Cindy. Prepared for vacation scheduling. Purchasing work. Copied the outreach presentation. Web edits. Updated the P1 winter draft schedule for Lucia. Presentation template work. Reported problem of shared calendars disappearing in Outlook 2007. Diversity project work (research). Reported problem "You do not have permission to send to this recipient" when sending mail from Outlook 2007 to certain outside-of-UCSF e-mail addresses. Prox lock followup. Lunch at Cybelle's with Joel. Joel had a large garden salad with chicken and lemon wedges and no dressing. I had a chicken burger with minestrone soup. Afternoon snack: frozen yogurt. Fixed a problem in OS X 10.5 Leopard in which certain Windows file shares (aka shared folders) were read only whereas before Leopard they were read-write in Tiger. The fix I used involves using attrib -r on certain folders which Windows has the read only flag set for some special folders it creates. It is believed to be a Windows problem, but since this worked in Tiger it appears to be a Leopard problem. The fix described at the aforementioned URL suggests removing the read only flag recursively but that seemed drastic to me, particularly if you use that flag for a specific purpose, such as ensuring documents such as document originals are not accidentally modified. When I used the solution, I did not do it recursively and it still worked. Just -r and +s the special folders at the top level. More purchasing. Listserv maintenance for student AP. Today I received a number of unusual phone calls from (I think) Monterey, California at my office (work) telephone number. The first was around 09:15 from 831-622-9505 and was a fax machine. The second was at 10:00 from 831-658-3693 and I let voicemail pick it up (but no message was left). The third was at 10:23 from 831-624-5311 and I let voicemail pick it up. I could tell these calls weren't really for me because I hardly ever receive calls at work. I never did figure out why I was receiving these calls. I figured it was faxspammers or telemarketers.
