Stretches. Usual oatmeal breakfast. Listserv followup with Danica. Helped student CM with laptop questions. VPS order followup. Websteering lunch at Lime Tree with Julie, John, Abby, Erik, Ed. CSC meeting: ergonomics, residents and fellows, security updates, VMware ordering, SHI now in effect, UCCSC. Discovering then unchecking the option called "Use Microsoft Office keyboard shortcuts for editing text" has removed a longstanding gripe I've had with Entourage 2008, and I replaced it with the gripe that this should have been unchecked by default. Unchecking this option enables you to use standard OS X keyboard shortcuts while editing message text in Entourage e-mail messages. Chatted briefly online with javaaddict. Word on the street is that Windows XP SP3 is essentially harmless, meaning it does not seem to break anything. Well, not anything that I use, anyway. Had a fantastic dinner at Pacific Catch (415-504-6905, 1200-9th Avenue at Lincoln, San Francisco, California, USA 94122) by myself this evening. Unlike last time, I was not seated at a dirty table, and all the employees in the restaurant worked like a flawless machine. I had 2 tacos (bbq salmon and shrimp) and an order of coffee mochi ball ice cream which is really 2 mochi balls instead of just one ball as I had thought I would receive. A few photos to come. Patrick went to Brahms at the San Francisco Symphony with Sam and ran into Melissa H briefly after the performance. Read blogs. Did some catching up on e-mail.
