Usual oatmeal breakfast. Tested Apple Mail with UCSF Exchange—I don't have the correct settings. Updates for shared Mac laptop. Retrospect 6.5 for Windows Server 2003 error: "Scanning incomplete, error -625 (not enough memory)" followed by many lines that look like "TMemory::mhalloc: VirtualAlloc(213.0 M, MEM_RESERVE) failed, error 8" which was received for a Mac Pro running the 6.5 client. Asked Eric to repair disk using Disk Utility and/or remove/reinstall Retrospect client. When attempting to change an account password in OS 10.5.2: "You cannot change your password to the password you entered. Your system administrator may not allow you to change your password or there was some other problem with your password. Contact your system administrator for help. (OK)". Computer was previously joined to the domain, but the error message still appears even after unjoining and restarting. Solution posted by Admiralex on discussions.apple.com called "Re: Can't reset password anymore" solved the problem. More updates for shared Mac laptop. Surprise visit from Michele F who stayed the day and did work she brought with her. I recorded the following error messages on February 11, 2008 but neglected to mention them earlier: " 2008-01-08 05:37:13 PST - T[0xB0103000] - Active Directory: Unexpected exception caught in /SourceCache/ DSADPlugIn/ DSADPlugIn-104/ ADSPluginNode.mm:1723 - *** -[NSCFData hasPrefix:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x2e0020" and "2008-01-09 16:41:51 PST - T[0xB0103000] - Active Directory: Unexpected exception caught in /SourceCache/ DSADPlugIn/ DSADPlugIn-104/ ADSPluginNode.mm:1723 - *** Collection <NSCFArray: 0x2c7cd0> was mutated while being enumerated" [spaces added to avoid layout problems]. I don't recall now what caused these errors or what I did to fix it. Lunch: chicken enchiladas and taco combo plus tortilla chips from Carmelina's. Encountered selection redraw problems in Word 2007 running inside Fusion 1.1.1 in OS 10.5.2. Problem happens only on page 1 of a document—problem does not happen on page 2. Problem does not happen in new documents. 1-on-1 meeting with Cindy. Strong passwords followup. Learned a little more about JSP. Burned a cdrom for Lucia with photo data. STOR followup for student AJ. Compiled website migration summary. VMWare Fusion licensing followup with Andy V. Dug up the Photoshop master for our homepage and sent it to Eric. DLS followup. Accessing shared folder across subnets followup with Cesar G and Quinn H. Dinner at home with Patrick: grilled chicken, steamed broccoli, ciabatta roll, Smart Balance Light. Dessert: one Girl Scouts thin mint cookie. Created an e-mail address and forward for Drew for the spa. Uploaded photos. Installed Address Book Dates, an Apple Address Book plug-in by Josef W. Wankerl. Works nicely. Thanks, Josef! A little tip: if you right-click over a birthdate, the same info appears but in larger text than if you left-click. Hand-migrated one address book entry—only 254 to go! Installed Firefox 2.0.0.13 for OS X and Windows XP. I found a Panda Express fortune from a fortune cookie but I don't remember which meal this was from: Buy the red car. Tennis ball massage.
