Usual oatmeal breakfast. Student computing committee meeting. A crazy day at work. Chris's laptop running Windows in Boot Camp had exhibited 100% cpu problems yesterday and in my absence another admin did some troubleshooting which I think I will need to undo now. I probably would have made the same mistake, too, though. Spent most of the day coding a new news story announcing our new strategic plan for Susie. Lunch: Panda Express. Doctor appointment. Home. Worked another hour from home making that important home page story live for Susie. Dinner at home with Patrick: seasoned meatloaf, steamed zucchini, herbed slab. Chatted with Nate on the phone and played with Google Docs live simultaneous editing. Finished filing taxes—hooray! I thought I needed to consult Tax Boy again but I stuck through it and got everything to work. Processed photos. While attempting to upload photos with Flickr Uploadr 2.3.1, it goes through the upload progress indicators much faster than expected. When it finishes, there is no notice of success or failure. It appears to have uploaded 62 MB in about 7 seconds which I know is impossible on our connection. I try the upload a few times before noticing that some of the tags I entered are duplicated. I return to the folder with the photos and find they are all missing. I must have accidentally moved them to the trash or another folder. I undo the move and reupload and now it is behaving as expected. Installed Winamp 5.531. Stretches. Weight training: one-arm dumbbell row, shoulder shrug, lateral raise. Late meal: chunky soup, hot nonfat milk.
