Shower. Weight training: superslow dumbbell press, wrist curl. Usual oatmeal breakfast. I forgot to mention that either yesterday or Tuesday Eric V brought in a bunch of his DVDs—Joel and Eric V and I were talking about movies over lunch last week and it seems we're bringing back the idea of the DVD library in the office. Like Netflix except it's your office mates instead of Netflix delivering your movies. I also recently picked up a free pedometer provided by UCSF—it's an Oregon Scientific PE826. I don't really need it, but I think it might be interesting to see how it works and whether it's any use to me. Tim G suggested this solution to Spotlight not indexing a particular drive, but I tried it and it did not work for me: "You can force Spotlight to rebuild its database by adding the affected disk to the Spotlight Privacy exclusions in System Preferences, closing System Preferences, then removing it from the exclusion list. Spotlight will begin rebuilding the Spotlight database immediately. This may take a while!" I turned off the Mac firewall and tried the same steps and again they did not work. I also found on the Apple website that one of the 300 new features in Leopard is that it can search connected network drives, so it's supposed to work but it doesn't for me. I'll submit a problem report to Apple's discussion forums and see if I get a solution. Web hosting accounts setup and prepared and delivered 4 how-to-connect messages. Chatted with Brian H and (the other) Frank F about new door locks. Lunch: leftovers at desk. Took photos of Joel's floaty pen collection for Joel. Snack for the trip home: 2 veggie spring rolls from Panda Express. Dinner at home with Patrick: pizza delivery with caesar salad. I forgot to mention that yesterday Patrick and I voted our vote-by-mail ballots. Stretches. Weight training: superslow front raise, superslow lateral raise, reverse wrist curl. Stretches. Late meal: lowfat cherry yogurt, hot nonfat milk. Stretches.
